Package an existing local skill (a SKILL.md, optionally with scripts/, references/, or assets/) as a plugin in the apparata-plugins marketplace repo, following that repo's own "Adding a New Plugin" process: create the plugin directory, adapt the frontmatter, register it in marketplace.json, bump the version, update README.md, run the validator, then branch, commit, push, open a PR, and merge. Use this skill whenever the user wants to publish, package, add, ship, or release a skill as a plugin in the apparata-plugins marketplace — phrases like "turn this skill into a plugin", "add my skill to apparata", "publish this to the marketplace", or "make a plugin from this skill". Trigger even if they don't name the repo, as long as the intent is moving a local skill into the apparata-plugins marketplace.
Instantiate a project from a Bootstrapp template bundle
Extract timestamped transcripts from WWDC session videos. Use this skill whenever the user wants to read, search, or get the transcript of a WWDC session or Apple developer video — even if they just say something like "what did they say about concurrency in that talk" or "get me the transcript for session 230". Also use this when the user provides a developer.apple.com/videos URL and wants to know what the video covers.
Analyze and review mobile app screenshots from a UX/UI design perspective.
Refine a specification markdown file through an in-depth interview process. Use when the user wants to improve, flesh out, or stress-test a spec.
Generate a build, sign, notarize, and package script for a macOS app with Sparkle auto-update support via GitHub Releases. Use when the user asks to create a build script, notarization script, distribution script, release pipeline, or auto-update setup for a Mac app. Also use when the user mentions Sparkle, appcast, notarization, or distributing a macOS app outside the App Store.
Download WWDC session videos in HD or SD quality. Use this skill whenever the user wants to download a WWDC video, save a session video to disk, or get the video file for a specific WWDC talk. Supports lookup by URL, session ID (e.g. "wwdc2025/230"), session number, or title. Also use when the user says things like "download the AlarmKit session" or "grab the HD video for session 287".
Generate a blog-post-style HTML page from a WWDC session, interleaving transcript text with slide screenshots. Use when the user wants to create a blog post, readable page, or visual summary from a WWDC talk — e.g. "create blog post from WWDC session 230", "generate HTML for that WWDC talk", "make a readable version of the AlarmKit session".
Generate a HANDOFF-<slug>.md document that captures the full state of the current work session — goal, progress, next steps, key files, decisions, open questions, and how to run/resume — so the work can be picked up later, including on a different machine by a fresh session with none of this conversation's context. Use this skill whenever the user wants to wrap up, pause, end, stop, or save a session to continue later; whenever they mention a "handoff", "pick this up later", "resume on another computer/machine", "continue tomorrow", "save where we are", "hand off to someone else", or want to carry context into a fresh session. Trigger even if they don't say the word "handoff" but clearly want to preserve session state for later continuation.
Control Spotify playback and check what's currently playing. Use when the user asks what music or song is playing, wants to play/pause/stop music, skip tracks, or interact with Spotify in any way.
Summarize every chapter of an epub or ibooks book into a markdown file. Use when the user wants to summarize an epub, ibooks, or ebook.
Generate a comprehensive Mac setup migration checklist as a self-contained interactive HTML file. Scans the current macOS environment — dock layout, installed apps, shell config, SSH keys, git config, Homebrew packages, fonts, developer tools, app-specific configs, and more — then produces a beautiful dark/light themed checklist page with progress tracking and localStorage persistence. Use this skill whenever the user wants to create a migration checklist, document their Mac setup, prepare for a new Mac, generate a setup guide, or capture their development environment configuration. Also trigger when users mention "mac migration", "new mac setup", "machine setup checklist", "dev environment snapshot", or similar phrases.
Fetch the WWDC session catalog from Apple's CDN by extracting the catalog URL from the Developer.app's WWDCCore binary. Use this skill whenever the user asks about WWDC sessions, WWDC videos, WWDC catalog, Apple developer conference content, or wants to browse, search, list, or look up any WWDC session or talk — even if they just say something like "what sessions are there about SwiftUI" or "find me that WWDC video about concurrency". Also use this when the user wants to download or work with WWDC session metadata.
