What it does
The author personal skill collection in the dotfiles spirit: reusable modules with prompt logic, references and scripts for deterministic work. The list includes skills for Codex session recovery (`codex-session-recovery`), goal mining (`codex-goal-mining`), code memory (`codebase-memory-mcp`), documentation and AI-trace cleanup (`technical-documentation`, `technical-deslop`), GitHub work for OpenClaw (`openclaw-github-dedupe`, `openclaw-pr-batch-sweep`), organization branch cleanup and worktrees. Skills install one at a time with `npx skills add vincentkoc/dotskills --skill <name> -y`. The repository also has validation, publishing and copying of Codex slash commands to `~/.codex/prompts`, for example `/sectriage`.
Who it is for. Codex, Cursor and OpenClaw users who want ready skills for maintaining GitHub projects and managing agent sessions.
Good fit when
- A Codex session must be recovered after a break.
- A repository has duplicate issues and a batch of PRs to sort.
- Goals for the next tasks should be mined from past sessions.
- An organization needs stale branches cleaned up.
Not a fit when
- You need a single supported product: this is a personal registry and the set changes at the author discretion.
- Branch cleanup skills must not run on working repositories without review.
- You only need one skill and the whole registry is overkill.
Example request
Install the `codex-session-recovery` skill from `vincentkoc/dotskills` and show how to recover an interrupted Codex session.Limitations
The registry is personal and some skills are written for the OpenClaw ecosystem and the author tools. The `github-airplane-mode` skill needs an installed `low-data` command: the skill installs no network guard and does not change the mode. `make sync` works on macOS and Linux, updates only its own symlinks and unchanged copies, and foreign files need manual reconciliation. Skills do not configure MCP or credentials, the platform installer does.
How to disable. Delete the skills from the agent directory or reverse the sync. Remove slash commands in `~/.codex/prompts` and attached submodules by hand.
