AbsolutelySkilled
A focused toolkit of production-ready skills for AI coding agents.

What is this?
AbsolutelySkilled is a focused toolkit that turns an AI coding agent into an autonomous development partner. Instead of a sprawling registry, it ships four opinionated skills that cover the loop you actually run every day: think → plan → build → polish → document.
Skills work with any agent that supports the SKILL.md format: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and 40+ more agents.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| absolute-work | End-to-end, phase-gated SDLC — brainstorm → spec → task board → safe-wave execution → verify |
| absolute-ui | Build polished, modern UIs — spacing, color, typography, components, accessibility, animations |
| absolute-simplify | Autonomously simplify your working changes — reduce complexity, remove redundancy, keep tests green |
| absolute-documentations | Write, improve, and audit docs with Diátaxis — tutorials, how-tos, reference, explanation, READMEs, ADRs |
The Skills
Absolute Work — End-to-End Development Lifecycle
One continuous, phase-gated lifecycle that takes any unit of work — a ticket, task, plan, or migration — from fuzzy intent to verified code. It relentlessly interviews you to a shared design, writes and self-reviews a spec, decomposes the work into a dependency-graphed task board, then peels tasks off one safe wave at a time with test-first verification.
Install:
npx skills add AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled --skill absolute-work
Usage:
/absolute-work "Add OAuth2 login with Google and GitHub providers"
/absolute-work "Pick up this ticket: migrate the REST API from v2 to v3"
/absolute-work "Grill me on my plan for a real-time chat feature, then build it"
How it works:
- Intake & Brainstorm — deep context scan, codebase-first questioning, adaptive question banks per work type, relentless one-at-a-time interview to mutual 100% confidence
- Spec — writes the approved design to
docs/plans/, then a separate reviewer subagent grades it on a scored rubric - Decompose & Plan — atomic tasks, a dependency graph, and safe-wave assignment on
.absolute-work/board.md - Execute — onion-peel one wave at a time; blockers run sequentially, only provably-independent tasks parallelize; TDD per task
- Verify — binary signals (test/lint/typecheck/build), then an independent scored evaluator
- Converge — full suite, summary, close the board, suggest a commit (never auto-commit)
It stops at a hard gate between every phase so you stay in control, and tracks everything on a persistent local .absolute-work/board.md that survives across sessions — resume where you left off, audit decisions, or hand off to another developer.
INTAKE & BRAINSTORM ─ gate ─ SPEC ─ gate ─ DECOMPOSE & PLAN ─ gate ─ EXECUTE ─ gate ─ VERIFY ─ gate ─ CONVERGE
Absolute UI — Polished Interface Design
The most comprehensive UI design knowledge base for AI coding agents — 25 reference guides covering typography, color theory, layout systems, dark mode, animations, accessibility, dashboards, and more. Every recommendation ships with concrete CSS/Tailwind values, not vague advice.
Install:
npx skills add AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled --skill absolute-ui
Usage:
/absolute-ui "Design a pricing page for my SaaS"
/absolute-ui "Make this dashboard feel less like AI slop"
Absolute Simplify — Autonomous Code Simplification
Detects your staged or unstaged git changes, analyzes them for simplification opportunities following clean code and clean architecture principles, applies the improvements directly, runs your tests to verify nothing broke, and shows a structured summary with reasoning.
Install:
npx skills add AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled --skill absolute-simplify
Usage:
/absolute-simplify
/absolute-simplify "clean up my changes in src/api/"
Absolute Documentations — Diátaxis-Driven Documentation
Writes, improves, and audits documentation using the Diátaxis framework — one quadrant per page (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation), plus repo developer docs like READMEs, CONTRIBUTING guides, ADRs, changelogs, and runbooks. It detects your docs stack (Fumadocs, Docusaurus, Starlight, MkDocs, VitePress, Mintlify, or plain Markdown), writes in your project's own voice, gates on an outline before writing prose, and verifies every snippet, flag, and default against your actual code.
Install:
npx skills add AbsolutelySkilled/AbsolutelySkilled --skill absolute-documentations
Usage:
/absolute-documentations "Write a getting-started tutorial for the CLI"
/absolute-documentations "Improve this README, it's 800 lines of everything"
/absolute-documentations "Audit our docs site and propose a restructure"

Recommended Workflow
The four skills are designed to chain into one loop:
- Think & Plan & Build →
absolute-worktakes the work from idea to verified code - Design the UI →
absolute-uimakes the interface look intentional, not generated - Polish →
absolute-simplifycleans up the diff before you commit - Document →
absolute-documentationswrites the docs for what you shipped
