httpie
httpie
Prefer http and https over curl for human-operated HTTP work, but treat HTTPie as ephemeral infrastructure rather than ambient machine state.
Verified locally against HTTPie 3.2.4 on April 15, 2026. The guidance is repo-agnostic, but the examples assume a Unix-like shell with http, https, and mktemp on PATH.
Decision Tree
What are you trying to do?
-
Call an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint from the shell and HTTPie is installed
- Prefer
httporhttps - Run it inside the disposable wrapper from
references/transient.md - Then read
references/commands.md
- Prefer
-
Translate a
curlexample into something easier to read or edit- Translate the intent, not the flags one-for-one
- Start with
references/patterns.md

markdown-new
Use markdown.new when the user explicitly wants markdown.new, Cloudflare Markdown for Agents, URL-to-Markdown conversion, file-to-Markdown conversion, crawl-to-Markdown, or the hosted markdown.new editor. Trigger on: 'markdown.new', 'convert this URL to markdown', 'crawl this docs site into markdown', 'file to markdown', 'upload this PDF to markdown', 'markdown.new API', or 'markdown editor'. Do NOT trigger for generic web search/scraping when another tool is enough, or for editing local Markdown without using the markdown.new service.
35skill-creator-advanced
Advanced skill creator for mission-critical, installable skills — API wrappers, progressively-disclosed technical documentation, CLI tool integrations, and complex multi-reference skills. Use when creating or improving skills that demand rigorous progressive disclosure, verified examples, tested operations, cross-harness compatibility, smart placement into the right repo-local or global skills directory, and self-improvement feedback loops. Triggers on: 'advanced skill', 'create API skill', 'create wrapper skill', 'production skill', 'installable skill', 'improve this skill for progressive disclosure', 'rigorous skill', 'mission-critical skill', or when skill-creator's output needs to be more thorough. Also use when upgrading an existing skill to production quality.
35ripgrep
Prefer ripgrep (`rg`) for text search, recursive codebase search, ignore-aware grep replacement, filename discovery via `rg --files`, and machine-readable search output. Use when the user asks to search for text, find occurrences, inspect a large tree, locate files by name or pattern, or when `grep`, `grep -R`, `find | grep`, or manual file reads would be slower. Triggers on: 'search for', 'find occurrences', 'grep', 'grep -R', 'ripgrep', 'rg', 'find files', 'look for pattern'. Do NOT trigger for reading entire files, structured JSON queries better handled by `jq`, or filesystem metadata tasks that need `find` or `fd`.
33synthetic-search
Use this skill when the user explicitly wants Synthetic Search, the Synthetic API, `api.synthetic.new`, `SYNTHETIC_API_KEY`, or zero-data-retention web search with raw `curl`/`jq` examples. It covers live-verified search requests, quota checks, and a zero-dependency Node helper for readable output. Triggers on: 'Synthetic Search', 'Synthetic API', 'api.synthetic.new', 'SYNTHETIC_API_KEY', 'Synthetic quotas'. Do NOT trigger for general browser automation, full-site crawling, or unrelated search providers.
33azure-devops-wiki-markdown
Use when writing, fixing, or reviewing Azure DevOps wiki Markdown, Mermaid diagrams, `_TOC_` and `_TOSP_`, collapsible `<details>` blocks, query-table embeds, `@` mentions, work-item links, KaTeX math, HTML video embeds, code fences, or Azure DevOps surface-specific support differences across Wiki, PR, README, Widget, and Done fields. Triggers on Azure DevOps wiki, markdown guidance, Mermaid sequence/graph/timeline/ER diagrams, proposal decision trees, table-of-subpages, query-table, code fence aliases, line-break bugs, and wiki page formatting. Do NOT use for GitHub-only Markdown, generic Mermaid authoring outside Azure DevOps, or non-Azure documentation platforms.
33tweet-replicate
Rebuild a public X/Twitter status into a deterministic local replica with a frozen snapshot, local HTML/CSS, Playwright capture, X-like media-frame fill behavior, a high-quality MP4 master, and a companion GIF capped under 24 MB. Use when asked to replicate a tweet/X post, freeze a status into video, make a tweet look like X offline, or create rerenderable tweet assets with a saved build folder. Trigger on: 'replicate this tweet', 'turn this X post into MP4', 'make this tweet into a GIF too', 'freeze this status locally'. Do NOT use for plain tweet text extraction, raw media download only, live X browser capture, authenticated pages, DMs, or promises of a pixel-perfect private X renderer.
