This repository is the reusable skill catalog of the ellmos ecosystem. It contains standalone process skills, development workflows, research helpers, therapy-oriented methods, infrastructure playbooks, and utility tools in an Anthropic-compatible SKILL.md format. Each skill carries its own metadata directly in YAML frontmatter, so runtimes can inspect provenance, compatibility, and dependencies without a central registry.

`education`	3	Academic planning, source-based learning, and exam preparation workflows
`game-dev`	4	Blender, Roblox, Rojo, Studio, asset safety, and game-design workflows
`infrastructure`	6	Portable AI setup, skill landscape management, MCP config sync between agent apps
`research`	1	Research-agent workflow support
`therapy`	19	German-language psychoeducation and counseling method playbooks
`utilities`	14	Batch operations, thinking frameworks, decision briefings, document chunking, encoding repair, YouTube transcripts
`web`	1	Web-reading protocol support

Featured Skills

Some skills are especially useful as entry points because they coordinate other tools, prevent messy agent workflows, or turn local procedures into repeatable playbooks:

Skill	Why it stands out
`skill-explorer`	Meta-skill for managing the skill landscape: audits existing skills, clusters them into families, researches external skills/plugins, and installs only after safety review and explicit approval.
`model-strategy`	Multi-model routing for Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Ollama with score-based selection, delegation paths, escalation triggers, and cost/quality tradeoffs.
`pipeline-optimizer`	Six-step renovation protocol for existing project folders, documentation systems, and software stacks; designed to avoid duplicate standards and broken workflows.
`github-repo-care`	Publication and maintenance gate for GitHub repos: local rules, locks, `.gitignore`, privacy checks, README/i18n, releases, and repository metadata.
`mcp-config-sync`	Synchronizes MCP server configuration between Claude Code and Claude Desktop with a shared master file and Windows/macOS helper scripts.
`video-transcriber`	Extracts video subtitles/transcripts plus metadata (supports YouTube sources) into Markdown, JSON, or plain text so video analysis starts from source-backed text.
`roblox-studio`	Covers Studio/Rojo scene-vs-code work, MCP control of Roblox Studio, asset-pipeline handoff, and mandatory malware checks for Creator Store assets.
`using-blender`	Routes Blender work between GUI, headless `bpy`, export/reimport checks, and reviewed MCP options without forcing a specific local setup.
`decision-briefing`	Turns many open decisions into a numbered A/B/C/D briefing with recommendations, accepts batch replies, and records the chosen outcomes.

Education Skills

Three institution-neutral skills for academic study. Placeholders (<INSTITUTION>, <LMS>, <MODULE_PREFIX>, etc.) are resolved to the concrete context on first use. All three skills are available in German (base) and English; ES, JA, RU, ZH are planned for Stage 2.

Skill	What it does
`academic-study-control`	Semester planning, deadline tracking, exam registration, re-enrollment, mail/portal checks, and calendar reminders with source verification and privacy guardrails.
`academic-study-learn`	Five-phase source-based learning cycle: clarify objective → extract key ideas → build glossary → transfer/apply → retrieval practice with gap tracking.
`academic-study-test`	Five test modes (quick test, exam block, oral exam, assignment training, error diagnosis) with a rubric-based assessment system and a strict ethics boundary against live-exam support.

Skill Metadata

Every SKILL.md declares whether it works standalone, whether it is compatible with BACH, and where it came from:

standalone: true
bach_compatible: true
bach_origin: true
provenance:
  origin: "bach"
  origin_path: "system/skills/therapie/"
  origin_version: "1.0.0"
  last_sync_from_origin: "2026-03-12"
  last_sync_to_origin: null
  local_changes_since_sync: false

Supported skill types are skill, agent, expert, service, protocol, and tool.
