What it does
The set adds several self-contained skills for everyday tasks. brave-search provides web search and page content extraction via the official Brave API without a browser. browser-tools drives Chrome over the DevTools Protocol: navigation, screenshots, element picking and script execution. gccli, gdcli and gmcli are command-line wrappers over Google Calendar, Drive and Gmail for viewing and creating events, managing files and handling mail. transcribe turns speech into text via Whisper on Groq, youtube-transcript fetches video transcripts, and vscode helps compare files and show diffs. Each skill is a SKILL.md with instructions and helper files, and the agent picks the right one from its description. The set is built for pi-coding-agent and is compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp and Droid.
Who it is for. For developers who want ready skills for search, the browser and Google services straight from the agent.
Good fit when
- You need web search or page content extraction without an interactive browser
- You need Chrome automation: navigation, screenshots, running scripts
- You need Gmail, Google Calendar and Drive from the command line
Not a fit when
- You have no keys or accounts for the needed services: Brave, Google, Groq
- Policy forbids connecting the agent to personal mail, calendar and drive
- You want a single MCP server rather than a set of separate CLIs and skills
Example request
Search the web for current docs on this library and extract the content of the first resultLimitations
The skills are thin wrappers over external services, so keys and accounts are required: a Brave Search account with a free subscription (a card is required to create it, with no charges), a Google Cloud project with OAuth for calendar, drive and mail, and a Groq key for transcription. Some skills need Node.js and npm packages, browser-tools needs Chrome, and vscode needs the code CLI in PATH. The Google wrappers act on the user's personal data: they create events, drafts and manage files, so access rights need care.
How to disable. Remove the symlinks or skill folders from ~/.claude/skills/ or the agent's directory (.pi, .codex, .factory). Globally installed CLIs can be removed with npm uninstall -g.
FAQ
Is this one skill or a set?
A set of separate skills: web search, browser, Gmail, calendar, drive, speech transcription, YouTube transcripts and VS Code integration. Install only what you need.
Does it only work with pi?
No. The set is built for pi-coding-agent but is compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp and Droid, each with its own install path in the README.

README in short
The README lists eight skills and gives install paths for pi-coding-agent, Codex CLI, Amp, Droid and Claude Code. In Claude Code, which looks for SKILL.md one level deep, each skill folder is attached by its own symlink. It documents the skill format: YAML frontmatter with name and description, instructions and a {baseDir} placeholder replaced with the skill's directory path at runtime. The requirements section notes which skills need Node.js, npm packages, Chrome, Brave and Groq keys or VS Code. MIT licensed.
