Personal, opinionated AI-agent skills by Tyler van der Hoeven, portable across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok, in three families: Fan Solo, a router plus focused solo-* skills for driving Solo (SoloTerm); Kalepail house skills, kalepail-* workflows tuned to Tyler's own tool stack; and Agent Browser WebAuthn, standalone passkey and Stellar smart-account browser testing through agent-browser.
Fan Solo routes broad Solo and SoloTerm requests to the focused skills below. Install the router together with all of them.
Setup and workspace
- Set up projects — configure projects,
solo.yml, and shared commands. - Customize workspace — tune workspaces, navigation, appearance, settings, and notifications.
Processes and services
- Run processes — start, stop, restart, rename, and manage process lifecycle.
- Observe services — inspect status, output, ports, URLs, and readiness.
- Troubleshoot — diagnose project, discovery, trust, shell, CLI, API, and runtime failures.
Agents and coordination
- Work with agents — manage one bounded, owned Solo agent.
- Orchestrate agents — coordinate independent worker lanes—implementation, review, or evidence-gathering—and integrate verified results.
Durable work
- Track todos — keep actionable work, blockers, locks, comments, and handoffs.
- Keep scratchpads — preserve plans, research, decisions, evidence, and project context.
- Close out work — reconcile a finished run: promote durable conclusions to repo docs, then retire completed ephemeral copies without losing incomplete work.
- Save prompts — maintain reusable cross-agent prompt templates.
Integration
- Automate — use Solo MCP, CLI, local HTTP API, hosted API, and deep links.
Personal kalepail-* workflows tuned to Tyler's own stack. They compose with Fan Solo when it is installed but do not require it.
- Deep research — cited multi-lane research synthesis across Parallel CLI/MCP, Perplexity MCP, and Stellar Raven (the first discovery surface for Stellar-ecosystem questions), with optional Solo fan-out.
Standalone; tied to neither family.
- Agent Browser WebAuthn — drive passkey and Stellar smart account browser tests with
agent-browserand Chrome DevTools virtual WebAuthn authenticators.
Skills orchestrate external tools; they do not bundle or authenticate them.
- Solo MCP — required by
fan-soloand everysolo-*skill; optional forkalepail-deep-research, which runs sequentially without it. Enable Solo's local MCP server and connect your agent host to it. - Optional research providers —
kalepail-deep-researchprefers Parallel CLI, falls back to Parallel Search/Task MCP, uses Perplexity MCP as an independent lane, and uses Stellar Raven MCP as the first discovery surface for Stellar-ecosystem questions; missing providers degrade to documented fallbacks. - agent-browser and Node.js 22+ — Agent Browser WebAuthn requires the
agent-browserCLI and Node.js 22 or newer; the$agent-browserskill is recommended but not bundled here.

# or Agent Browser WebAuthn alone
claude plugin install agent-browser-webauthn@kalepail-skillscodex plugin marketplace add kalepail/skills
codex plugin add kalepail-skills@kalepail-skillsUse the skills.sh CLI when only selected Codex skills are wanted.
Use the skills.sh CLI above. OpenCode natively discovers .agents/skills project installs and ~/.agents/skills global installs; no mirror or plugin is needed.
Grok reads Claude-compatible plugins directly:
# complete collection
grok plugin install kalepail/skills
# Agent Browser WebAuthn only
grok plugin install kalepail/skills#skills/agent-browser-webauthnReview Grok's trust prompt before enabling.
git clone https://github.com/kalepail/skills.gitCopy chosen skills/<name> directories intact into your agent's skill directory.
For broad or mixed Solo work:
Use $fan-solo to choose and run the right Solo workflow for this task.
For one clearly scoped task, invoke the matching $solo-* skill directly. For passkey testing, use $agent-browser-webauthn with $agent-browser to drive a flow against a virtual WebAuthn authenticator.
These skills are personal and opinionated: model routing and tool preferences are baked in. AGENTS.md is the guide for working in this repo.
