What are Skills?

Skills are markdown files that give AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows for specific tasks. When you add these to your project, your AI coding assistant can recognize when you're working on a task and apply the right frameworks and best practices.

Available Skills

More skills coming soon — scheduling, notifications, browser automation, and more.

Installation

Option 1: CLI Install (Recommended for Claude Code)

Use the skills CLI to install directly:

# Install all skills
npx skills add goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills

# Install specific skills
npx skills add goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills --skill clawdbot-setup

# List available skills
npx skills add goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills --list

This automatically installs to your .claude/skills/ directory.

Option 2: Clone and Copy (Works with all agents)

git clone https://github.com/goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills.git

Then copy to your agent's skills directory:

# Example for Cursor
cp -r dailyhackerskills/skills/* .cursor/skills/

# Example for Claude Code
cp -r dailyhackerskills/skills/* .claude/skills/

Option 3: Git Submodule

Add as a submodule for easy updates:

# For Cursor
git submodule add https://github.com/goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills.git .cursor/dailyhackerskills

# For Claude Code
git submodule add https://github.com/goodrahstar/dailyhackerskills.git .claude/dailyhackerskills

Option 4: Fork and Customize

1. Fork this repository
2. Customize skills for your specific needs
3. Clone your fork into your projects

Usage

Once installed, just ask your AI coding assistant to help with daily tasks:

"Help me set up Clawdbot from scratch"
→ Uses clawdbot-setup skill

"Configure my personal AI with Telegram"
→ Uses clawdbot-setup skill

"Connect Gmail to my AI assistant"
→ Uses clawdbot-setup skill

The agent will automatically detect the relevant skill and apply it.

Testing Installation

After installing, verify the skills are available:

For Claude Code

# Check if skills directory exists
ls -la .claude/skills/

# Should see: clawdbot-setup/

Then test in Claude Code by asking:

• "Help me set up Clawdbot from scratch"
• "I need to install Clawdbot with Telegram integration"

For Cursor

# Check if skills directory exists
ls -la .cursor/skills/

# Should see: clawdbot-setup/

Then test in Cursor by asking:

• "Help me set up Clawdbot from scratch"
• "I need to install Clawdbot with Telegram integration"

The AI assistant should automatically recognize the skill and provide detailed setup instructions.
