getting-stuff-done

A personal collection of various things for productivity with and without AI tools from Manfred Moser.

All material in this repo is created, tested, and maintained by myself and for myself.

Skills

The skills/ directory holds reusable agent skills in the open SKILL.md format, which works across every major AI coding tool. Rather than maintain a copy per tool, install-skills.sh symlinks each skill into the user-level skills directory of each tool, so editing happens only here in the repo and there is never a second copy to drift out of sync.

My personal context and cross-tool conventions live here too: the manfred skill carries identity and working style, and manfred-git carries commit message style and attribution preferences. Invoke them explicitly when you want that context.

On any machine, after cloning this repo, run:

cd getting-stuff-done
./install-skills.sh

The script is idempotent — run it again any time to pick up newly added skills or repair links on a fresh machine. It installs into:

Tool	Skills directory
Claude Code	~/.claude/skills
opencode	~/.config/opencode/skills
Codex CLI	~/.codex/skills
GitHub Copilot	~/.copilot/skills
Antigravity	~/.gemini/antigravity/skills and ~/.gemini/config/skills

Antigravity gets both paths because its global skills location changed across versions. The script refreshes its own symlinks but never overwrites a real file or directory a tool placed there itself. To support another tool, add a single "name:$HOME/path/skills" entry to the TOOLS array in the script.

Skills run with the full permissions of the agent that loads them. Review a skill before installing it, whether it comes from this repository or any other source.

Skill catalog

The repository holds two kinds of skills. General skills are useful to anyone working on the same tools or projects. Personal skills carry Manfred's identity, preferences, and conventions, and double as a worked example of a personal context skill family.

General skills:

Skill	Purpose
trino	Shared reference facts about the Trino project for the trino-* family.
trino-java-update	Update dependencies and tooling in Java-based Trino projects with a local Renovate scan.
trino-minio	Update and troubleshoot the MinIO test container image in trino and aws-proxy.
trino-packages-update	Update a trino-packages clone to a newer Trino version.
trino-gateway-release-notes	Create and maintain Trino Gateway release notes pull requests.
trino-contributor-call-processing	Turn a Trino contributor call recording into topics and a wiki summary.
weekly-asana-task-recap	Assemble a weekly progress summary from Asana task updates.
weekly-github-issue-recap	Assemble a weekly progress summary from GitHub issue updates.
weekly-linear-issue-recap	Assemble a weekly progress summary from Linear issue updates.

Personal skills:

Skill	Purpose
manfred	Core identity, context, and working style. The gateway to the manfred-* family.
manfred-git	Commit message style, branching, PR workflow, and code review.
manfred-writing	Writing voice, audience, and markdown formatting conventions.
manfred-slides	Presentation slide deck structure and content conventions.

Installing individual skills

The install-skills.sh script installs every skill for the tools listed preceding. To install a single skill instead, and for anyone who prefers a package-manager style workflow, the skills are also installable with the skills CLI. It installs a skill directly from any public GitHub repository. Install a single skill with the owner/repo@skill shorthand:

npx skills add simpligility/getting-stuff-done@trino-packages-update

Install every skill in the repository at once by pointing at the repository:

npx skills add simpligility/getting-stuff-done

This adds a Node based dependency at install time and is entirely optional. The symlink script and a plain clone remain the primary, dependency-free path.

The npx skills find command searches the separate skills.sh registry rather than GitHub directly, so these skills do not appear in that search until they are published to the registry. Installing directly by repository or skill reference works either way.

Instructions

The instructions/ directory holds cross-tool, user-level instructions in a single canonical file, AGENTS.md. Just like skills, one source of truth feeds every tool: install-instructions.sh symlinks that file into each tool's user-level instructions path under the name that tool expects, so editing happens only here in the repo and there is never a second copy to drift out of sync.

The first section turns off automatic cross-session memory in favor of an explicit, ask-first workflow: nothing is remembered silently, and anything worth keeping gets encoded into a skill by choice rather than an opaque memory store.

On any machine, after cloning this repo, run:

cd getting-stuff-done
./install-instructions.sh

It installs into:

Tool	Instructions file
Claude Code	~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
Codex CLI	~/.codex/AGENTS.md
opencode	~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md
Gemini CLI & Antigravity	~/.gemini/AGENTS.md

Same safety rule as the skills script: it refreshes its own symlinks but never overwrites a real file a tool or you placed there. To support another tool, add a single "name:$HOME/path/INSTRUCTIONS_FILE" entry to the TOOLS array in the script. Which global paths a given tool actually reads varies by version, so verify against the tool's current docs before relying on a new entry.

Tools whose global instructions live in app settings rather than a file have no symlink target — paste the same text there by hand:

• Cursor — Settings → Rules → User Rules
• GitHub Copilot — personal custom instructions in your editor or profile

Disabling Claude Code's built-in memory is a companion one-line settings change, separate from the instructions file: set "autoMemoryEnabled": false (and "autoDreamEnabled": false) in ~/.claude/settings.json.
