A collection of Claude Code skills. Each skill is a markdown file you drop into ~/.claude/skills/ and invoke with a slash command. No dependencies, no installs.
| Skill | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| deep-dive | /deep-dive |
DAG-based deep research. Breaks questions into dependency-ordered sub-questions, runs parallel subagents, finds gaps, writes sourced reports. |
| news-from-discussions | /news-from-discussions |
Morning briefing tailored from your past conversations and memory — checklists across your projects + a "For You" news digest based on what you've actually been thinking about, not topic tags. |
Install a single skill:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/deep-dive
cp deep-dive/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/deep-dive/SKILL.mdInstall all skills:
git clone https://github.com/kimsb2429/claude-skills.git
for skill in claude-skills/*/; do
name=$(basename "$skill")
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/"$name"
cp "$skill"SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/"$name"/SKILL.md
doneA deep research skill based on how Google's Deep Research works. It builds a dependency graph (DAG) of sub-questions, researches them in parallel using subagents, identifies gaps, follows up, and writes a final report.
Most research skills search, then summarize. Deep Dive builds a dependency graph first:
- Questions that depend on other answers wait for those answers
- Independent questions run at the same time (3-6 subagents in parallel)
- Context flows forward. Later questions get findings from earlier ones
- The research plan adapts based on what's actually found
Out of 7+ community alternatives surveyed, this is the only Claude Code skill that uses true DAG-based planning.
Usage:
/deep-dive What are the best open-source alternatives to Datadog for monitoring microservices?
What you get:
- DAG plan printed as a table before anything runs
- Real-time progress via task checklist
- Gap iteration that catches what the first pass missed
- Final report saved to
docs/deep-dive/with executive summary, themed findings, open questions, and sources
A typical run produces a 500-2000 line report covering 4-8 sub-questions, citing 15-40 sources, in 5-15 minutes.
| Feature | Deep Dive | Typical research skills |
|---|---|---|
| Query planning | DAG with dependencies | Linear pipeline |
| Parallelism | Wave-based (3-6 concurrent) | Sequential or basic parallel |
| Gap iteration | Yes (1 round) | Rarely |
| Progress tracking | Task checklist | None |
| Output | Persistent markdown report | Chat response |
| External deps | None | Often requires MCP servers or APIs |
A personal morning briefing that derives "For You" picks from your own files — memory, project TODOs, anything in ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/. The hosted alternatives (ChatGPT Pulse, etc.) personalize from chat history and inboxes; this one personalizes from the structured notes you've already been writing about who you are and what you're building.
Two phases:
- Checklists — auto-discovers any direct subdir of
~/containing aTODO.md, prints pending-first checklists per project - News digest — 6 parallel WebSearch queries: 2 personalized "For You", general news, AI & tech, your dominant niche (inferred from memory), and community buzz (HN/Reddit/X). Suggested actions get appended to project TODOs after approval.
Usage:
/news-from-discussions
Pairs well with Claude Code Routines for scheduled morning delivery. Add --out ~/brief.md (or set NEWS_FROM_DISCUSSIONS_OUT) to write the briefing to a file, then wire delivery however you want:
# Send via local mail after Routines fires
mail -s "Morning brief" you@example.com < ~/brief.md
# Or push to a Slack webhook
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
--data "{\"text\": \"$(cat ~/brief.md)\"}" \
$SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL
# Or commit to a private repo for cross-device read
cd ~/briefs && git add . && git commit -m "$(date +%F)" && git pushDifferentiator vs. existing morning-brief tools: cross-project TODO aggregation as the spine, and personalization derived from already-written memory rather than asking you to configure topic tags.
- Claude Code CLI (any version with subagent support)
- No external APIs, MCP servers, or dependencies
- Works with any Claude model (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
