- speech-to-textelevenlabs/skillsTranscribe audio to text using ElevenLabs Scribe v2. Use when converting audio/video to text, generating subtitles, transcribing meetings, or processing spoken content.OfficialMediaNo warnings★ 508↓ —
- retiring-and-inheriting-a-seatmvschwarz/openrigUse when you are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) and a PLANNED seat transition is due — retire deliberately and hand your seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet, rather than let compaction degrade you. Covers the handover packet, the append-only lineage ledger (one row per tenure), physical-seat continuity, the do-not-over-inherit framing, the optional warm-handoff window, and wake-v0 (consulting a retired predecessor). NOT for unplanned compaction/crash recovery (session-compaction-and-restore / claude-compaction-restore) and NOT the seat-binding primitive mechanics (seat-continuity-and-handover).PlanningNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- session-compaction-and-restoremvschwarz/openrigUse when reasoning about what survives compaction/context-loss/restart/seat-refresh, designing a high-fidelity restore packet, or distinguishing native runtime resume vs fork vs artifact-backed mental-model rebuild. Covers the 4 failure modes that prevent honest restore (compacted seat drops hot potato; restore packet preserves details but loses product intent; runtime resume mistaken for handover or fork; rebuilt seat starts with stale instructions).ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- forming-an-openrig-mental-modelmvschwarz/openrigUse when the system around you does not make sense yet: you just booted into a seat and do not know how the pieces fit; someone said rig, pod, seat, fleet, topology, or slice and you are not certain what they mean here; you are unsure what kind of rig you are in or what it is for; you do not know how skills reach you or where context comes from; or you are about to act on a guess about how OpenRig works. Gives the runtime mental model fast, so you stop guessing.ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- context-buildermvschwarz/openrigGather and distill context from meetings, competitors, regulatory sources, and internal discussions. Produces background.md for a feature and updates shared context docs when new knowledge is discovered.ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- applying-a-permission-policymvschwarz/openrigUse before launching a team during agent-guided setup, or when a user asks to configure OpenRig command permissions, reduce repeated native approval prompts, or apply a selected rig/seat permission policy.OtherNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- seat-continuity-and-handovermvschwarz/openrigUse when replacing a seat's occupant (rebuild/handover/swap), reasoning about stable-seat-identity vs fluid-occupant-identity, choosing an old-occupant disposition (retire/advise/shadow), or recording provenance for an occupant change. Two independent outcomes (continuityOutcome + seatBindingOutcome) and the 5 failure modes that prevent silent dishonesty.OtherNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- orienting-to-an-inherited-seatmvschwarz/openrigUse when you have just been primed into an EXISTING seat through a planned handover — a different agent retired and handed you the seat plus its earned context — and you need a world model of what just happened to you. Covers how a handover differs from compaction and from a fresh launch, the inherit-the-seat-not-the-identity rule, treating the handover packet as testimony you verify (and refusing stale ghost prompts, and verifying your OWN identity surfaces), why a seat is a COMPOUNDING LINEAGE (inherit the state, acquire the predecessor's epistemology, then improve and re-deposit so the next generation is better), how to query your predecessor, your duty to stream feedback and re-deposit your earned wisdom, and how to route to role-specific onboarding. NOT the driver-side handover mechanic (retiring-and-inheriting-a-seat) and NOT unplanned compaction/crash recovery (claude-compaction-restore / session-compaction-and-restore).PlanningNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —
- topology-mutation-and-seat-managementmvschwarz/openrigUse when changing a rig while it is alive — `rig grow` / `rig expand` / `rig shrink` / `rig launch` / `rig remove` / `rig discover` / `rig bind` / `rig adopt` / `rig attach`. Covers the 4 failure modes (newly created seat lacks queue/startup/role; edges and permissions not updated; adopt/bind succeeds at tmux but not OpenRig identity; shrink/remove leaves stale topology references) and the rule that mutation must work while the rig is active, not just in clean fixtures.OtherNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- rigsmvschwarz/openrigUse when a person in their own Claude Code or Codex session mentions OpenRig, rigs or the rig command, or wants a team of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) on their project. That includes installing, setting up, starting or updating OpenRig, seeing, getting back to or re-attaching to their OpenRig agents (including bringing a stopped team back), TUI or operator, starting or sharing a team, and joining this session to one. Operating a running rig from inside it (fleet recovery, seat handover, watchdog wakes, in-rig upgrades) is the openrig-skills skill.EngineeringNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- office-hoursmvschwarz/openrigYC-style product validation using six forcing questions. Pressure-tests a feature idea before it becomes a requirement — ensuring real demand, a clear wedge, and evidence behind assumptions.TestingNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- sound-effectselevenlabs/skillsGenerate sound effects from text descriptions using ElevenLabs. Use when creating sound effects, generating audio textures, producing ambient sounds, cinematic impacts, UI sounds, or any audio that isn't speech. Supports looping, duration control, and prompt influence tuning.OfficialDesignNo warnings★ 508↓ —
- test-driven-developmentmvschwarz/openrigUse when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation codeTestingNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo

- cross-host-rig-commandsmvschwarz/openrigUse when addressing a registered remote OpenRig host, choosing its transport, or interpreting a cross-host result.OtherNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- openrig-software-factorymvschwarz/openrigUse when a user wants a continuing software team for a real repository, or has a first OpenRig team and needs a repeatable path for reviewed work and later tasks.ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- agent-startup-and-context-ingestionmvschwarz/openrigUse when designing or auditing how an agent becomes useful after launch — AGENTS.md overlays, role files, skills, rig specs, workflow specs, startup checklists, refocus messages, "rig context" surface. Covers the 4 failure modes that make startup context fail (old rig spec misses current operating mode; current agents never told about new guidance; startup file as dumping ground; orchestrator transmits implementation without preserving product intent).ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- specification-systemmvschwarz/openrigUse when authoring rig specs, agent specs, workflow specs, startup/context fragments, operating-mode declarations, or designing the user spec library. Covers the 4 failure modes (spec instantiates topology but not workflow/mode; spec depends on local paths and fails on another host; agents modify specs as one-off files instead of preserving reusable intent; validation proves YAML shape but not whether topology can run) and the validation-vs-runtime-realization distinction.PlanningNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- context-engineeringmvschwarz/openrigUse when designing, reviewing, or debugging how an agent's context window gets filled, pruned, or shared — choosing what loads at boot versus on demand, sizing an install or an always-loaded file, fixing an agent that drifts, repeats itself, or forgets constraints mid-task, planning compaction or summarization, deciding single-agent versus subagents, engineering handoffs between agents, or picking a tool loadout. NOT for rewording a prompt's tone, choosing which model to pin, or debugging business logic — those are adjacent moments this skill does not serve. Historical 2024–2025 snapshot; not normative for present-day frontier models — see the Status section.ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- rig-bundles-and-shareable-artifactsmvschwarz/openrigUse when authoring or installing a rig bundle (packaged, shareable artifact that instantiates an opinionated OpenRig topology + workflow), reasoning about the bundle vs extension boundary, or auditing a bundle for portability. Covers the 4 failure modes that prevent bundles from working anywhere but the operator's machine, and the inspect-before-install discipline.ProductivityNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- speech-engineelevenlabs/skillsAdd real-time voice conversations to a custom agent runtime with ElevenLabs Speech Engine. Use when building Speech Engine servers, WebSocket handlers, WebRTC browser clients, conversation token endpoints, interruption-aware streaming responses, or voice-enabled chat agents that connect developer-owned server logic to ElevenLabs speech-to-text and text-to-speech.OfficialBrowserNo warnings★ 508↓ —
- openrig-architectmvschwarz/openrigUse when designing multi-agent topologies that run ON OpenRig — authoring RigSpec and AgentSpec files for new rigs, creating agent startup content (guidance / skills / culture), or diagnosing why a launched rig's agents aren't behaving as intended. NOT for changing OpenRig itself (use developing-openrig); NOT for ordinary CLI operation of an existing rig (use openrig-user). Covers the full authoring lifecycle from user intent to validated, launchable rig.PlanningNo warnings★ 8.1K↓ —Also in 1 other repo

OfficialDevOpsUpdated yesterday
From the author
Investigate Kubernetes workload, node, and control-plane issues using OTel telemetry (EDOT). Use when diagnosing pod failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, Error), node pressure, resource exhaustion, image pull failures, admission rejections, autoscaling anomalies, or correlating K8s state with application signals. OTel ingest path only — the legacy ECS Kubernetes integration shape is out of scope.
