Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/aden-hive/hive --skill browser-edge-cases

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aden-hive/hive.git /tmp/hive
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/hive/.claude/skills/browser-edge-cases ~/.claude/skills/browser-edge-cases

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

All skills in this repo
  1. hive.browser-automationaden-hive/hive

    Required before any hive-browser CLI command. The browser is driven from the terminal by running `hive-browser <command> ... --json` via terminal_exec — not via MCP tools. Teaches the browser lifecycle rules (the bridge attaches to the USER'S running Chrome — never kill or launch browser processes; timeouts are transport issues, not crashes), the screenshot + coordinate workflow (hive-browser interact with a fractional coordinate) that reaches shadow-DOM inputs selectors can't see, the viewport-fraction coordinate rule (not pixels), rich-text editor quirks ("send button stays disabled" failures), and CSP gotchas. Covers Chrome via CDP through the GCU Beeline extension.

  2. hive.chart-creation-foundationsaden-hive/hive

    Required reading whenever any chart_* tool is available. Teaches the one-tool embedding contract (call chart_render → live chart appears in chat AND a downloadable PNG lands in the queen session dir), the ECharts (data viz) vs Mermaid (structural diagrams) decision, the BI/financial-grade aesthetic baseline (no chartjunk, restrained palette, proper typography, single message per chart), and the canonical spec patterns for the 12 most-common chart types. Skipping this leads to 1990s-Excel charts, missing downloads, and the agent writing markdown image links by hand instead of letting chart_render drive the UI.

  3. hive.colony-progress-trackeraden-hive/hive

    Claim tasks, record step progress, and verify SOP gates in the colony SQLite queue. Applies when your spawn message includes a db_path field.

  4. hive.context-preservationaden-hive/hive

    Proactively extract critical values from tool results into working notes before automatic context pruning destroys them.

    11k24 tok idle · 231 in use
  5. hive.error-recoveryaden-hive/hive

    Follow a structured recovery decision tree when tool calls fail instead of blindly retrying or giving up.

    11k25 tok idle · 278 in use
  6. hive.image-generationaden-hive/hive

    Required before calling image_generate. Create and edit images from a prompt — generate an image, make a picture / logo / illustration / icon / banner / poster / thumbnail / hero image / mockup / product shot / social graphic, or edit / restyle / combine existing images from reference images. Uses OpenAI gpt-image-2 through the Hive image service, billed to the user's Hive credits like an LLM call (no API key needed). Teaches the exact call shape, the quality/cost tradeoff (quality="low" is the default and cheapest), reference-image editing, how to show the result to the user with attach_file, and the failure modes (out of credits, model unavailable, moderation).

  7. hive.linkedin-automationaden-hive/hive

    Read before automating LinkedIn with browser_* tools. LinkedIn combines shadow DOM (#interop-outlet), strict Trusted Types CSP that silently drops innerHTML, Lexical composer, native beforeunload dialogs that hang the bridge, and aggressive spam filters — each has bitten us at least once. Verified flows for profile messaging, connection-request acceptance, feed composition, and search. Requires hive.browser-automation. Verified against logged-in production 2026-04-11.

  8. hive.note-takingaden-hive/hive

    Maintain a free-form scratchpad of decisions, extracted values, and open questions so context pruning doesn't lose anything you still need.
