garden-skills
ConardLi's open-source Skills collection, featuring web design, knowledge retrieval, image generation, and more.
Garden Skills is a professionally-curated collection of five production-ready agent skills that extend AI coding assistants with specialized capabilities in web design, video presentations, image generation, knowledge retrieval, and editorial publishing. Each skill ships as a self-contained SKILL.md with reference docs, scripts, and assets that agents load on-demand. The collection includes web-design-engineer (25 anchored style recipes from Linear to Bloomberg Terminal), web-video-presentation (23 built-in themes for screen-recordable React presentations), gpt-image-2 (79 structured prompt templates across 18 visual categories), kb-retriever (progressive local knowledge-base search), and beautiful-article (10 article types with 11 authoring theme profiles). All skills follow the portable agentskills.io spec and work across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other compatible agents.
