skills

Agent skills I publish — instructions, references and scripts that an AI coding agent loads when a task calls for them. This repository is their registry: skills kept here are folders with a SKILL.md at the top, and skills that live with the code they describe (quax, unxt, figpress-apps) are registered in registry/ and listed alongside them, linked to their home repository.

Skill	For	From
diataxis	Audits and restructures documentation into the Diátaxis modes — tutorials, how-to guides, reference and explanation — without breaking links.
engaging-hybrid-compute	Splits a research project between a laptop and MIT's Engaging cluster: edit locally, run Slurm jobs on the cluster, and sync code and results through a private git repo.
figpress-apps	Builds an interactive webapp for a scientific paper with figpress-apps: exports the paper's arrays, ports the per-interaction science to tested JavaScript, composes linked views, and publishes a static site plus a single archivable HTML file that also runs in notebooks.	nstarman/figpress-apps
figpress-apps-upgrade	Moves a figpress-apps webapp to a newer figpress-apps version by applying the changelog's migration notes in order, then rebuilds and re-checks that the app still reproduces the paper's numbers.	nstarman/figpress-apps
quax	Writes, reviews and debugs JAX code that uses quax: custom array-like types such as physical units, sparse and low-rank arrays, quaxify, and the dispatch rules that make them work.	nstarman/quax
submit-hybrid-compute	Splits a research project between a laptop and MIT's subMIT cluster: edit locally, run Slurm jobs on the submit partition, and sync code and results through a private git repo.
syw-adopt-overleaf	Moves an existing paper, with a live Overleaf project and a private git repository, into a fresh showyourwork repository: backup first, regenerated figures and numbers compared against the old PDF, every irreversible step approved by the author, and the old history kept private.
syw-overleaf-dropbox	Guides writing a paper with showyourwork and Overleaf, using the Dropbox copy of the Overleaf project as the local text mirror: where to edit text versus code, how a build pushes figures and numbers, and the stalls and silent non-builds to expect.
syw-site	Adds a docs site to a showyourwork paper: its numbers, figures and interactive figpress-apps webapps, built by the paper's own pipeline and published at nstarkman.space with the website's layout, kept private until arXiv.	nstarman/syw-site
syw-site-upgrade	Moves a paper's docs site to a newer syw-site release by applying the changelog's migration notes in order, refreshing the scaffold, rebuilding and checking that the site still shows the paper's numbers.	nstarman/syw-site
unxt	Writes, reviews and debugs code that uses unxt quantities in JAX: units, dimensions and unit systems, conversions, and passing quantities through JAX and quax transformations.	GalacticDynamics/unxt

Installing

Claude Code — add this repository as a plugin marketplace once, then install any skill by name (skills in other repositories install from there, at the version listed):

/plugin marketplace add nstarman/skills
/plugin install <name>@nstarman-skills

claude.ai — download <name>.zip from the latest release and upload it under Customize → Skills.

By hand — copy the skill's folder (its link in the table above) into ~/.claude/skills/, or into a project's .claude/skills/ for that project only.

The skills' bundled scripts are standard-library Python 3 or Bash. To add or register a skill, see AGENTS.md.
