Niche Skills
Very niche skills I use every day.
I'm Yaman Can. This is my personal collection of agent skills: workflows I keep coming back to, written down so I can reuse them and you can make them your own.
They're organized around the work: coding, building a startup, working with a team, and the very specific tasks in between. Coding is the first collection available here.

Coding
For Claude Code and Codex. Choose by the job you want done:
| When you want to… | Use | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Get a second model's review of a change | Duo | Pairs Codex and Claude/Opus, keeping the same peer conversation for follow-ups. |
| Coordinate several independently owned tasks | Orkestra | Organizes ownership, dependencies, and integration. Includes Duo. |
| Give a focused task to OpenCode | Let Chinese | Runs a worker with your selected supported provider/model, or a free OpenCode model with no key; your main agent checks the result. |
| Use Dolly 1 Security through Zro | Let Chinese Somehow | Runs the Zro/OpenCode route with automatic OpenCode approvals. |
| Fix conflicting or missing agent instructions | Project Context | Audits the repository's instructions and proposes changes to its context. |
Install
Choose one method per agent. The plugins install the Coding collection; the npm shortcuts let you choose skills and agents.
Claude Code · Coding collection
claude plugin marketplace add yamancan/skills
claude plugin install niche-coding@yamancan
Installs across your projects. Start a fresh session after installation.
Codex · Coding collection
codex plugin marketplace add yamancan/skills
codex plugin add niche-coding@yamancan
Start a fresh session after installation.
Choose individual skills:
npx niche-skills
Or use the GitHub shortcut:
npx yamancan/skills
Both open the same selection flow. Choosing Orkestra includes Duo. See the setup guide for prerequisites, global installs, scripted commands, and other agents.
The Coding helpers support macOS/Linux with Python 3.9+ and Git. The npm route also needs Node.js 22.20+. Bring your own coding tools and provider accounts; model calls can incur charges. Complete first-use setup for your chosen skill before delegating work.
First use
Start with Project Context to inspect the instructions your agent receives. It needs no additional provider account.
In Codex with the plugin installed:
$niche-coding:project-context Audit this repo's agent instructions. Find conflicts and missing context, then propose changes.
In Claude Code, use /niche-coding:project-context. With an npm-installed skill in Codex, use $project-context.
Once Duo is configured, try a focused change with a peer review:
$niche-coding:duo Fix the failing checkout test. Have the peer review the diff and test results.
Your current agent owns the change and resolves the review findings.
Keep it current
Update plugins through your plugin manager and npm-installed skills through Skills CLI. See update commands and auto-update settings.
Trust and limits
The skills use your accounts. Credentials and private task history stay outside the distribution; selected task context goes to the model provider. Workers run with the parent's OS permissions. The Zro route uses automatic approvals, so review the security boundaries before using it.
Read tested versions and known limits, including the outstanding live checks for Zro 0.3.0 and OpenRouter.
License and credits
MIT. Read the skills, adapt them, and use what fits your work. External tools keep their own licenses and terms. Duo setup was inspired by Matt Pocock's Wizard approach.
