programming-fundamentals
From the author
Core programming concepts from variables through recursion. Covers data types (integers, floats, strings, booleans, arrays, objects), variables and scope (lexical, dynamic, block, function, global), control flow (conditionals, loops, pattern matching), functions (parameters, return values, closures, higher-order functions), recursion (base cases, call stack, tail recursion, mutual recursion), type systems (static vs dynamic, strong vs weak, type inference, generics), and error handling (exceptions, Result types, defensive programming). Use when teaching, reviewing, or diagnosing issues with fundamental programming constructs.

- systems-programmingTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorSystems programming from memory management through networking. Covers memory models (stack vs heap, manual allocation, garbage collection, ownership/borrowing), concurrency (threads, mutexes, channels, async/await, actor model, data races vs race conditions), operating system concepts (processes, virtual memory, page tables, system calls, file descriptors, signals), compilation (lexing, parsing, code generation, linking, static vs dynamic libraries), networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, sockets, HTTP, DNS, TLS), and the hardware-software boundary (caches, cache lines, false sharing, memory-mapped I/O). Use when working with low-level code, diagnosing system-level bugs, understanding performance characteristics, or bridging between high-level languages and machine behavior.Engineering★ 71
- programming-principlesmagnus919/agent-skillsApply distilled coding principles from 14 classic software books to code review, refactoring, design, and implementation decisions. Do not use for language- or framework-specific tutorials, tool manuals, or tasks already governed by a project's established conventions.Design★ 148
- principle-foundational-thinkingmichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply before writing logic: choosing core types and data structures, sequencing scaffold-vs-feature work, asking what concurrent actors share. Get the data structures right so downstream code becomes obvious.Writing★ 3.4K
- digital-systemsTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorFoundational digital technology literacy covering binary and data representation, computer architecture (CPU, memory, storage, I/O), networking fundamentals (protocols, the internet, LAN/WAN), operating systems, and software concepts. Use when explaining how computers work, how data is stored and transmitted, how networks operate, or how hardware and software interact. Distinct from programming -- this skill covers what digital systems are and how they function, not how to write code for them.Writing★ 71
- developaiskillstore/marketplaceGeneral principles for exploring, developing, editing, and refactoring code. Use for codebase analysis, implementation tasks, and code quality improvements.Writing★ 444
- algorithms-data-structuresTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorAlgorithms and data structures from first principles through advanced analysis. Covers sorting (bubble, insertion, selection, merge, quick, heap, radix), searching (linear, binary, BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, A*), fundamental data structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, trees, heaps, graphs, tries), complexity analysis (Big-O, Big-Omega, Big-Theta, amortized), recurrence relations, and algorithm design paradigms (divide-and-conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, backtracking). Use when analyzing, selecting, implementing, or comparing algorithms and data structures.Design★ 71
