SKILLS
Teach AI some new tricks
Skills hand-picked by Xiaoming. Each one says what it does and who it's for, with examples you can copy.
What's a Skill?
It's a how-to manual for AI. Once it's installed, say something like “Grill me on this plan: I'm taking my parents on a road trip over the long weekend,” and it follows the manual, asking round after round until you've got it all figured out. No step-by-step coaching needed.
Where it works: AI tools on your computer that can read and write files, like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Trae and Tongyi Lingma, plus Claude App. Chat apps like ChatGPT on the web, DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao, Yuanbao can't install them yet.
Which AI tool do you use?
Pick one, and the steps below plus every Skill's install command will switch to match. We'll remember it on this device.
- 1Install your AI tool firstAny AI tool that supports Skills works. The install command will detect it for you.
- 2Copy the command, paste it in a terminalOn a Skill's page, click “Copy command”, open your computer's terminal, paste it and press Enter (the page has a “First time using the terminal?” guide). If it says npx is missing, install Node.js first.
- 3Restart, then just askReopen your AI tool and say what you want, like the examples on the Skill's page.
