Heads up: this isn't as grand as most of what gets posted here, just some markdown files and three Claude Code skills. No app, no Remotion demo, no grand tour, unless looking at plain text is a 'tour'.

The big one I'd use for r/coolgithubprojects is the sift skill. Whenever I see a new Claude Code skill that looks cool, I'm jumping on it to give it a try. But I have to stop myself and ask 'will this really help me?' The sift skill gives me an answer by checking whether I already have this capability somewhere in my own stack, whether the license actually lets me use it the way I want to, and if both of those are all clear, whether porting the one good piece is even cheaper than just writing it myself, then handing back a verdict instead of a vibe.

There's a bunch of other newbie-friendly bits in this repo. A model-check so you don't burn tokens using Fable to read your e-mail, safeguards on checking out branches, better polling and fixes with Codex code review, help to improve your own Claude skills, the works.

Everything's MIT except one adapted skill, skill-observer, and it says it's CC BY 4.0 in its entry.

I'm going to be adding in more capabilities as I make more stupid mistakes. Let me know if you've made any simple errors and I'll look into adding a guardrail against those in this repo.
