Agent Skill Foundry

Three distilled Agent skillpacks in one repository.

This repo is the lightweight companion to the full Agent Command Center. It keeps the same core philosophy, but packages it into three clean tiers so users can choose the amount of process that fits the work.

Quick Implementation Guide

1. Pick one tier: Minimal, Developer, or Governed.
2. Copy that pack's SKILL.md into your assistant's configured skills directory.
3. If the assistant is ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, or another file-reading agent, also follow Common AI Instructions.

Detailed Overview

This repository packages the same workflow philosophy into three tiers so users can choose the amount of process that fits the task.

Packs

Pack	Complexity	Best For	Main File
Minimal	Low	quick local work, concise answers, safe shell commands	packs/minimal/SKILL.md
Developer	Medium	everyday coding, debugging, tests, docs, frontend work	packs/developer/SKILL.md
Governed	High	releases, policy, CI, audits, risky changes	packs/governed/SKILL.md

Which One Should I Use?

Start with Developer unless you already know you need something else.

Use Minimal when the task is small and extra process would slow you down.

Use Governed when the task needs evidence, risk control, release discipline, or a clear audit trail.

For a deeper comparison, read Choosing a Pack.

Install

Each pack is self-contained. Copy the pack folder you want into your Agent skills directory, or copy only its SKILL.md into a skill folder with the same name.

If you want to use the packs with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or another assistant that reads project files, use Common AI Instructions instead of the legacy install flow.

Example:

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/agent-skill-foundry-developer
cp packs/developer/SKILL.md ~/.codex/skills/agent-skill-foundry-developer/SKILL.md

See Install Guide for more options.

Design Principles

1. One repo, three entry points. Users can compare tiers without hunting through separate projects.
2. Each pack stands alone. A pack folder should still make sense if copied by itself.
3. Process scales with risk. Minimal stays light, Developer is practical, Governed is strict.
4. No hidden runtime dependency. The packs are Markdown skills, not a framework.
5. Concise by default. Even the Governed pack should avoid ceremony that does not improve safety or evidence.

Validation

Before publishing:

find packs -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -print
find packs -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name SKILL.md -print
