Curated by Skill Harbor — the meta-skill that governs Addy Osmani's engineering workflow collection: when a task arrives, identify the development phase and apply the matching skill. It ships a decision tree — don't know what you want yet → interview-me; rough concept needing variants → idea-refine; new project → spec-driven-development; implementing → incremental-implementation (with UI/API/context branches); writing tests → test-driven-development; something broke → debugging-and-error-recovery; reviewing → code-review-and-quality; shipping → release readiness. Distinct from every other addyosmani skill on the catalog — this one doesn't do the work, it routes to the skill that does. By @addyosmani, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: it only knows the skills in this collection — it can't route to skills it hasn't seen; if your task doesn't fit a phase, the tree won't help. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: none — useful if you have several agent skills installed Install "Using Agent Skills" for me. The meta-skill — discover which engineering workflow skill applies to the task at hand, by development phase Repository: https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/using-agent-skills/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the addyosmani-using-agent-skills skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "addyosmani-using-agent-skills". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
