Addy Osmani / Hacker News·medium signal

Google Chrome engineer Addy Osmani open-sourced 'Agent Skills,' a collection of 20 production-grade engineering workflows and 7 slash commands (/spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, /ship, /code-simplify) designed to make AI coding agents behave like senior engineers. Each skill includes quality gates, verification steps, and tables of 'common excuses agents use to skip steps.' Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and Kiro — skills are plain markdown with frontmatter, no framework lock-in.
