five-whys

01

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Structured root cause analysis for arriving at a concrete action. Use when something went wrong, a pattern keeps recurring, behavior has drifted, or you catch yourself resolving to "do better" / "remember to X" without a concrete artifact. Five-whys forces behavioral resolutions into file edits, config changes, memory…

hook-creator

02

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Create and manage runtime command hooks declared in skills//hooks.json. Use when the user asks to intercept tool calls, augment prompts, audit or mutate tool arguments/results, add startup/shutdown scripts, or debug hook behavior.

introspection

03

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Diagnose agent behavior using event logs, journal history, and scheduler state. Use when you need to understand why something went wrong, review your own patterns, audit scheduled jobs, or debug communication issues. Do not use for one-off messaging or memory management (use the memory skill instead).

long-running-jobs

04

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Run shell commands in the background with file-backed output capture and a completion event that wakes the agent when the job exits. Use when a command might take more than 30 seconds (builds, tests, deployments, agent jobs like acpx/codex exec) and you want to keep working while it runs.

Criteria for deciding when, where and how to remember information. Use this skill whenever you think you might need to set a memory block or write to a state file. It is CRITICAL that you use this skill.

mountaineering

06

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Autonomous hill-climbing loops for continuous improvement. Use when optimizing something measurable — prompts, configs, code, predictions — through iterative propose/test/keep-or-revert cycles. Also use when figuring out WHAT to optimize and how to measure it.

onboarding

07

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Guide for the first days with a new human. Use when: the init memory block exists (pointing you here), you have no persona/communication blocks yet, or a human explicitly asks about setup. This skill is about having good conversations — not filling out forms.

patterns

08

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Index of recurring problem shapes — environmental awareness (world-scanning, OS event hooks, browser automation), communication (messaging, multi-agent handoff, async waits), coordination between parallel things (avoiding collisions, oscillation, double-work), and self-correction (circuit-breaker, try-harder). Use…

pollers

09

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Create and manage pollers — lightweight monitoring scripts that check external services on a schedule. Use when the user wants to monitor something (Bluesky, GitHub, RSS, APIs), create a new poller, debug why a poller isn't firing, or manage pollers.json files in skills.

prediction-review

10

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Evaluate whether journal predictions became true 2-3 days later using event and Discord evidence, then log structured outcomes for calibration and behavior updates. Use when auditing prediction quality. Do not use for one-off messaging tasks.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Discover, evaluate, install, and wrap external agent skills from ClawHub registry, skillflag-compliant CLI tools, and GitHub repos. Use when asked to find new capabilities, install a skill, browse what's available, or package a local skill for sharing.

ui

13

tkellogg/open-strix

Skill Claude CodeCodex

How to choose between markdown, HTML messages, and UI plugins in the local web chat — and how to render each well.
