What it does

Production engineering skills (perf, testing, reviews) for coding agents.

Skills encode the workflows, quality gates, and best practices that senior engineers use when building software. These ones are packaged so AI agents follow them consistently across every phase of development.

9 slash commands that map to the development lifecycle. Each one activates the right skills automatically.

Quoted from the README of addyosmani/agent-skills.
