Manage environment variables and secrets across platforms, build and cache reproducible container environments, orchestrate multi-step procedures as DAGs with retries and parallel execution, and fetch external files into a session via temporary GitHub branches.
Securely manages API credentials for multiple providers (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, GitHub). Use when skills need to access stored API keys for external service invocations.
Universal environment variable loader for AI agent environments. Loads secrets and config from Claude.ai, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Jules, and standard .env files.
Build and cache a personalized container environment from a Dockerfile-like spec. Supports both single-layer (one Containerfile -> one cached tarball) and multi-layer composition (compose [base, scientific, mojo, ...] into one container with each layer cached independently). Use when the user mentions "container layer", "Containerfile", "custom container", "environment setup", "cache my installs", "uv shim", "composable layers", or wants to persist package installations, skills, or environment config across ephemeral sessions. Also triggers when the user asks to snapshot, restore, or rebuild their environment, or wants to capture ad-hoc package installs into a reproducible spec.
DAG workflow runner that encodes control flow in code, not prose. Use when a procedure has 3+ steps with branching, retries, or validation that must be enforced — gates as `when=`, edge contracts as `validate=`, predicate loops as `retry_until=`. The runner owns the graph; the LLM provides leaves. Also covers parallel execution, checkpoint resume, detached side-effects.
File-upload bridge for Claude Code on the Web. CCotw has no native file mount; this skill creates a throwaway GitHub branch the user can drop files onto via the github.com web UI, then fetches them locally on the next turn. Use when the user wants to upload, share, or send files into the session, or when a task clearly needs files the user has on disk that aren't in the repo.

A collection of Claude skills distributed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace. Skills are primarily designed for the Claude.ai PaaS skill compute environment; mileage will vary if used as Claude Code Agent Skills.
Add this repository as a plugin marketplace in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add oaustegard/claude-skills
Then browse and install individual plugins:
/plugin install skill-name@oaustegard-claude-skills
Update all marketplace plugins to latest:
/plugin marketplace update
Install skills directly to your project with a single command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oaustegard/claude-skills/main/templates/installation/install-skills.sh | bash
Or download and customize which skills to install:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oaustegard/claude-skills/main/templates/installation/install-skills.sh
nano install-skills.sh # Edit SKILLS array
chmod +x install-skills.sh && ./install-skills.sh
CI/CD Integration:
mkdir -p .github/workflows
curl -o .github/workflows/install-skills.yml \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oaustegard/claude-skills/main/templates/installation/install-skills.yml
