Oliver's original Claude Code skills — writing, development, automation, finance, and AI tools (26 skills)
Use when working with API keys, secrets, tokens, credentials, SSH keys, or 1Password. Triggers for: "vault this key", "store credential", "audit for secrets", "scan for API keys", "secure my MCP config", "rotate this token", "add to 1Password", "check for exposed credentials", "op://", "read from vault", "look up my password", or any task involving credential storage, retrieval, rotation, or security auditing. Also use when setting up new services that need API keys, when reviewing .env files, or when the user mentions their credentials repo. If you encounter a plaintext API key or secret during any task, consult this skill before proceeding.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "download Apple Music tracks", "rip Apple Music", "download songs", "get DRM-free music", "download music for my headphones", or asks anything about the apple-music-rip workflow or Apple Music AAC downloads.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an Apple Note", "format for Apple Notes", "write to Apple Notes", "save this to Notes", "add to my notes", "make a note", "update my note", "edit that note", "search my notes", "find a note about", "read that note", or needs to create, read, update, search, or format notes via the Apple Notes MCP tools. Also use when the user asks to "add a checklist", "make it collapsible", "add block quotes", "highlight text in Notes", "add a dashed list", or any GUI-only Apple Notes formatting. Provides HTML structure, formatting rules, spacing guidelines, and known limitations for the Apple Notes API.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a workout", "build a workout file", "generate a .workout file", "make an Apple Watch workout", "create a running/cycling/swimming/HIIT workout", or needs to generate .workout files that can be imported into Apple Watch via iPhone. Supports creating workouts from text descriptions, images of workout plans, or structured specifications.
Use when the user asks to "download an audiobook", "rip Audible", "liberate a book", "sync audiobooks", "back up my Audible library", "add a book to Audiobookshelf", "search my audiobooks", "convert audiobook to MP3", "run libation-sync", "clean up audiobook metadata", "fix book metadata", "transfer audiobooks", or asks anything about Libation, Audiobookshelf, or their Audible library.

Oliver's personal Claude Code plugins, skills, and marketplace — all in one repo. This is the source of truth for the portable Claude setup: plugins feed Claude Code directly via the ames-claude marketplace.
plugins/<name>/ Plugins (each has .claude-plugin/plugin.json)
plugins/ames-standalone-skills/skills/ Standalone skills (edit here directly, no build step)
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json Marketplace manifest (auto-generated by sync)
Skills are developed directly inside plugins/ames-standalone-skills/skills/. There is no top-level skills/ directory — the plugin IS the delivery mechanism.
sync-skills # In PATH via ~/Developer/scripts/
Two phases:
Phase 1 — Publish (local repo → GitHub):
plugin.json.claude-plugin/marketplace.json from all active plugin manifestsplugin.json and marketplace.json, pushes to GitHubPhase 2 — Install (GitHub → local Claude, via official claude plugin CLI):
4. Register marketplace — adds github.com/oliverames/ames-claude as a claude plugin marketplace source
5. Update marketplace — runs claude plugin marketplace update ames-claude
6. Install / update plugins — runs claude plugin update or claude plugin install for each plugin
7. Remove stale plugins — uninstalls any @ames-claude plugins no longer in the marketplace

Third-party Claude Code skills curated by Oliver Ames. Includes humanizer (blader), SwiftUI Pro (Paul Hudson/twostraws), and Apple platform dev skills from OpenAI's Codex plugins.
Preferred third-party MCP servers curated by Oliver Ames. Includes 1Password, Apple Docs, Apple Notifier, Docling, Drafts, Excel, Google Workspace, macOS Automator, MarkItDown, Pandoc, Peekaboo, Shortcuts, XcodeBuild, iMCP, Sim Genie, and Sosumi integrations. Run sync-sources to install or update non-npm dependencies.
Developer tools for maintaining Claude Code plugins. Upgrade skills, audit structure, and align with latest platform capabilities.
Daymade skills core suite. Bundles skill creation, quality review, governance, and marketplace development tooling under one shared namespace. Existing-skill edits use an old-vs-new capability audit and content-bound packaging attestation so prompt compression cannot silently delete runtime contracts. When the official skill-creator plugin is also installed, skill-creator detects the coexistence and offers a consent-based, reversible SessionStart routing hook so the daymade edition wins deterministically; on machines without the official plugin nothing is ever installed.
Toolkit for authoring and validating Claude Code skills and agents. Script-backed skills-toolkit skill runs a real deterministic validator (validate_skills.py), plus agent-author/agent-validator and 13 templates. Auto-invoke on 'create skill', 'validate agent', 'build agent'.
Create new skills, improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, or benchmark skill performance with variance analysis.
