hal-skills
By vinta
Automate git staging and commits with AI-driven analysis that groups changes into logical atomic units using conventional messages. Brainstorm ideas and architectures via parallel agents powered by Claude Opus, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini. Get second opinions on code reviews, plans, and diffs from multiple AI models.
npx claudepluginhub vinta/hal-9000 --plugin hal-skillsComponent Overview
Component Details
Skills (5)
Use when making any git commit. All git add and commit operations must go through this skill, including from subagents and other skills. Always pass a brief description of what changed as the argument
Use when brainstorming ideas, features, or directions for a project where independent perspectives from different model families (Claude/Codex/Gemini) would surface blind spots and spark creative options the user hasn't considered — especially "what cool things can I add", "what should I build next", "give me ideas for X"
Use only when the user explicitly requests brainstorming, evaluating architecture choices, or comparing options where no single concern dominates
Use when wanting independent perspectives from external models (Codex, Gemini) on code, plans, docs, or any task — or when the user asks for a second opinion, codex review, or gemini review
Use when creating or editing a skill that uses Bash commands, external tools, or skill invocations and the allowed-tools frontmatter may be incomplete

HAL 9000
Opinionated macOS development environment automation that dominates your dev setup like cats rule the Internet.
This project is named after Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, a heuristic algorithmic computer designed for sentient processing and total mission control.
