genesis
Use this skill BEFORE drafting any agentic primitive module (skill, persona scoping file, scope-attached rule file, orchestrator workflow) or when refactoring an existing one. Activate whenever the task asks to design, restructure, or critique an agentic module across any agent harness (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex), or when the task asks to make a workflow cost-effective, route model calls by capability, design for cache discipline, prune token spend, or pick a model class. This skill drives an 8-step disciplined design process whose output is mermaid diagrams + an interfa

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# genesis: agentic primitives architecture (design discipline) [Architect persona](agents/genesis-architect.agent.md) This skill encodes a disciplined process for designing agentic primitive modules. Markdown that steers an LLM is code; you do not write production code without a design. The output of this skill is DESIGN ARTIFACTS, not finished modules. A separate coding step emits the natural-lan
What does the genesis skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add danielmeppiel/genesis --skill genesis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From danielmeppiel/genesis, a repository with 60 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
