Agents

Dominik publishes agent skills, keeps one set of global agent instructions in sync across his machines, and has built apps for working with coding agents. He has also written about agent skills and about the move from chatbots to agents.

Agent skills

40 public skills, listed with the task each one does, what it needs and how to install it.

Open the skills catalogue

  • academic-pdf-to-mkd

    Converts academic PDFs, including scans, into Markdown with figures, tables and page images as separate files.

  • agent-roles

    Orchestrator playbook for Claude Code: which model plans, builds, fixes, reviews and tests, with dated seat choices, cost evidence and paste-in briefs.

  • agents-md-streamline

    Writes and tightens AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files so they tell an agent what to do, not the project's history.

  • ai-model-benchmarks

    Builds offline comparison charts and tables of AI models from Artificial Analysis, Arena and OpenRouter data.

  • ai-working-style-builder

    Helps you describe how you work so AI tools fit your communication, attention and record-keeping habits.

  • anonymise

    Finds and redacts personal information in text on your own machine with an open-weight model, with no cloud service.

  • app-design-elements

    The shared elements every desktop app carries: commands, keyboard, menus, Settings and agent access.

  • archive-scout

    Searches, quotes and counts words in your own writing and reading highlights with the local scout tool, and writes cited reports with a JSON evidence file.

  • cesky-narodni-korpus-skill

    Queries the Czech National Corpus (KonText) for concordances, frequencies and collocations from inside an agent.

  • claim-fact-checker

    Checks every factual claim in a report against its sources, one isolated checker per claim, and writes findings and a fix plan.

  • codex-images-workflow

    Treats generated images as reproducible files: a written brief first, the image beside it, both versioned.

  • cognitive-walkthrough

    Runs a cognitive walkthrough on a mockup, screenshot or live page to check how easily a new user can learn it, and writes a learnability report.

  • coordination-hub

    Sets up one hub where every agent session starts, so you never have to remember where your projects are or what state they are in.

  • corpus-tools-skill

    Sets up a local corpus-linguistics toolchain on a Mac (NLTK, spaCy, Stanza, Corpus Workbench, OPUS) with a parallel-concordance tool. Draft.

  • design-first-dev

    Takes an app or feature from user journeys and drawn designs to a locked mockup before any code is written.

  • dev-traffic-control

    Lets agents file test requests and reviews in Dev Traffic Control, a desktop review app, and collect the answers.

  • doc-editorial-skill

    Audits, reviews and fact-checks markdown documentation, proposing each change and asking before editing.

  • expository-writing

    Keeps an agent's prose literal and specific: every sentence says something checkable.

  • global-agent-instructions

    Keeps one global instruction file and installs it into Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and pi.

  • goalify

    Turns a project or product interview into durable goal prompts for OpenAI Codex.

  • image-to-design

    Takes a design from a written brief through generated mockups to HTML/CSS, keeping every prompt, image and revision on disk.

  • judgement-vs-code

    Helps an agent decide when a task needs reading and judgement rather than string matching.

  • metaphor

    Helps an agent use and examine metaphors without over-extending them.

  • paper-reviewer-skill

    Imports a paper from Zotero, extracts its text, figures and tables, and writes structured reviews.

  • project-changelog

    Keeps a structured changelog folder in a repository alongside its git history.

  • readability-skill

    Helps write more readable text and design more readable slides.

  • research-translation

    Runs auditable translation and back-translation of participant-facing research documents such as consent forms.

  • single-html-document

    Builds self-contained single-file HTML documents (reports, explainers, slide decks, feedback forms) that work offline.

  • sketchengine-skill

    Connects an agent to Sketch Engine to run word sketches, word lists and keyword analyses on its corpora.

  • skill-explorer

    Turns a SKILL.md file into an interactive web page showing its structure, code and connections.

  • speech-to-text-skill

    Transcribes audio locally on Apple Silicon (Qwen3-ASR, Parakeet, Whisper) into time-coded transcripts, with optional speaker labels.

  • talkweaver

    Lets agents write and revise presentation content for the TalkWeaver app, including converting PowerPoint files and processing recordings.

  • text-as-graph

    Treats documents and courses as connected parts so they can be reused and recombined without copies drifting.

  • text-to-image-skill

    Generates and edits images locally on Apple Silicon with open models such as FLUX.2 Klein and Qwen-Image.

  • text-to-speech-skill

    Generates speech locally on Apple Silicon with several open voice models, including voice cloning and Czech.

  • ux-journeys

    Pins down who the user is, what they are trying to do and what they see at each step, before visual design starts.

  • video-analysis

    Describes, summarises or answers questions about a video on your own machine with a local model.

  • writeflex

    Lets agents read, organise and prepare Markdown content for the WriteFlex app.

  • writing-modes

    Makes an agent decide who a text is for and in whose name it speaks before it writes, and load only that register's rules.

  • zotero-wrangler

    Manages Zotero imports, linked notes, evidence-backed tags and scoped native full-text discovery.

Global agent instructions

One set of instructions kept in sync across machines and AI coding tools.

Apps for working with agents

Dev Traffic Control collects the requests coding agents send in one inbox. Zotero Agent Bridge pulls PDFs and notes from Zotero into a local folder.

  • Dev Traffic Control

    A Mac app for the requests your coding agents send you: checks, design reviews with side-by-side decisions, and more.

  • Zotero Agent Bridge

    VS Code extension that pulls PDFs and notes from Zotero into a local folder with metadata for agents.

Write-ups

Two essays: one on agent skills, one on the move from chatbots to agents.
