Remove signs of AI-generated writing from text. Use when editing or reviewing text to make it sound more natural and human-written. Based on Wikipedia's comprehensive "Signs of AI writing" guide. Detects and fixes patterns including: inflated symbolism, promotional language, superficial -ing analyses, vague…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Computation of marginal effects, comparisons, and predictions using the marginaleffects R package. Use when computing AMEs, factor contrasts, continuous contrasts, or predicted values from regression models. NOT for plotting (use /marginal-effects-plot or /coefficient-plot).
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create professional Marp presentation slides with 7 beautiful themes (default, minimal, colorful, dark, gradient, tech, business). Use when users request slide creation, presentations, or Marp documents. Supports custom themes, image layouts, and "make it look good" requests with automatic quality improvements.

Maintain a per-repo napkin file that tracks mistakes, corrections, and what works. Activates EVERY session, unconditionally. Read the napkin before doing anything. Write to it continuously as you work — not just at session boundaries. Log your own mistakes, not just user corrections. The napkin lives in the repo at…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when tasks involve reading, creating, or reviewing PDF files where rendering and layout matter; prefer visual checks by rendering pages (Poppler) and use Python tools such as reportlab, pdfplumber, and pypdf for generation and extraction.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal (navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, UI-flow debugging) via playwright-cli or the bundled wrapper script.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Manage Qualtrics surveys via API - list blocks/questions, create/update questions, add JavaScript, manage embedded data and display logic. Use for modifying existing surveys with LLM-powered features.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when the user explicitly asks for a desktop or system screenshot (full screen, specific app or window, or a pixel region), or when tool-specific capture capabilities are unavailable and an OS-level capture is needed.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Perform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, scaffolding skill directories, packaging skills for distribution, or verifying skills work before deployment. Combines Anthropic's official skill authoring guide with TDD methodology.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Remove AI writing patterns from prose. Use when drafting, editing, or reviewing text to eliminate predictable AI tells.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Design-based survey analysis in R using the survey package. Use for survey design setup, weighted descriptives, svyglm regression, raking, and calibration. NOT for IPW/propensity scores (use /compute-survey-weights).
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when creating any data visualization, chart, figure, or plot. Also use when the user asks to "plot", "graph", "visualize", "make a figure", or refine an existing chart.
