akakika-skills

A small, carefully curated set of agent skills for building calm, native-feeling software — and for running AI coding agents well.

Apple/macOS design craft · SwiftUI · AI-agent workflows · project intelligence · upkeep · launch polish.

Browse the collection at akakika-skills.vercel.app — every skill, searchable, with copy-paste installs.

---

These are agent skills — plain SKILL.md files that teach an AI coding agent how to do one thing well. They work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and anything else that reads the SKILL.md format. No build step, no dependencies — open one and read it.

This isn't a dump of everything I've made. It's only what I'd hand to someone — each skill stripped down, de-branded, and polished to the same bar. The through-line is taste: calm UI, native patterns, privacy by default, project upkeep that won't bite you, and agent workflows that don't fall apart on the second run.

The collection follows the life of a project — decide, design, build, run, maintain, launch, tell people, close the session well:

Project intelligence · Design · Apple HIG · Swift & macOS · AI agent workflows · Session rituals · Maintenance · Launch & review · Content & publishing

If you only grab three: new-project-gate before you build, apple-hig-command-palette while you design, macos-permissions-privacy when macOS says no.

Quickstart

Install everything on a Mac (recommended)

One-liner — clones (or updates) the repo under ~/Projects/akakika-skills and symlinks all 40 skills into every agent skill directory it knows about (Claude Code, Grok, Goose, Cursor, Codex, Desktop Commander, ~/.agents/skills):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aka-kika/akakika-skills/main/install.sh | bash

From a clone:

git clone https://github.com/aka-kika/akakika-skills
cd akakika-skills
./install.sh

Useful flags:

./install.sh --dry-run                 # show what would happen
./install.sh --copy                    # copy instead of symlink
./install.sh --targets claude,grok     # only some agents
./install.sh --dir ~/src/akakika-skills

Symlink installs track the clone: later updates are just git -C ~/Projects/akakika-skills pull (re-run ./install.sh only when new skill names appear). Existing skill folders with the same name are moved aside under ~/.skills-backup/ before linking.

Install one skill by hand

Every skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md (Markdown + a little YAML). Drop the folder wherever your agent loads skills:

Agent	Where it goes
Claude Code	Copy into ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project), then invoke it by name.
Codex	Copy into your project and reference it from AGENTS.md, or paste the SKILL.md body into context.
Cursor	Copy into .cursor/skills/ (or your rules folder) and reference it.
Anything else	Open the SKILL.md and paste the part you need. It's just Markdown.
