Runapi CLI
Use the RunAPI CLI for one-off artifacts and results, or RunAPI's standard x402 REST flow for wallet-funded Task calls without an API key. Use when an agent needs to discover models or prices, create a paid Task, poll its result, or run a supported CLI service. Use an SDK for app or production integration.

# RunAPI CLI The `runapi` CLI executes one-off artifacts or results only for services in its installed command catalog. An app, backend, worker, library, or production code integration uses a RunAPI SDK instead. ## Choose route Use the CLI for a one-off artifact or result. Use an SDK for an app, backend, worker, library, or production code. Before composing a service command, discover the installed command catalog with `runapi --help`; proceed only when it lists the service. An absent service routes to its SDK or public API contract, not to a guessed CLI command. ## Install | Target | Command | |---|---| | macOS / Linux (interactive) | `brew install runapi-ai/tap/runapi` | | Server / CI (headless) | `curl -fsSL https://runapi.ai/cli/install.sh \| sh` | The installer detects OS and architecture (Linux and macOS, amd64 and arm64), verifies a SHA-256 checksum from `https://runapi.ai/cli/latest.json`, and refuses to write the binary if verification fails. ## Authentication Check the current state first: ```shell runapi auth status ``` | Source | How | |---|---| | Environment (agent/headless default) | Read `RUNAPI_API_KEY` from the environment | | Saved config (agent/server/CI) | `printf '%s' "$RUNAPI_API_KEY" \| runapi auth import-token --token -` (writes `~/.config/runapi/config.json` with mode 0600) | | Browser login (interactive fallback) | `runapi login` in a terminal, or the MCP `login` tool from an MCP host | `RUNAPI_BASE_URL` overrides the default base URL.

What Could Break
2stas4000/what-could-break
Find what a change could break outside its own diff, then prove the one fact that makes it safe by running real code instead of writing an essay. Use before any multi-file edit or an edit to a shared path (API payload, config, stored data, a client other apps read, a prompt or policy file), when asked 'what could this break' or 'blast radius of X', for a small diff you do not trust, or when a task asserts something about existing code ('X already handles Y', 'just make X public') before you design against that assertion.
Punchcard
2Maksim-Burtsev/punchcard
Architecture-level design review of a code change: module boundaries, dependency direction, data model, error paths, cost of the next change — never naming, formatting, or anything a linter catches. Use when the user invokes /punchcard, says 'punchcard review', or asks for any design, architecture, or structural review of a diff, branch, merge request, or PR. Do not use for general correctness/bug review, style feedback, or whole-repo audits.
Delegate
1aayushpokhrel1/delegation-pipeline
Use when a coding request contains work you can write a tight spec for and verify from a diff: boilerplate, scaffolding, repetitive edits, test stubs and docstrings, but equally a whole module from a clear contract, a real multi-file refactor, a non-trivial first-draft implementation or a clear-spec bug fix. Offloads it to a headless worker via the delegate CLI, then reviews the git diff. Do not route by hand: name no backend and the worker runs free ($0) and escalates to deepseek itself. The gate is a good spec, not low difficulty. Keeps design, tricky debugging, security-sensitive code, deep
Regulex Plus
3PipeDream941/regulex-plus
Visualize a JavaScript regular expression as a railroad diagram (PNG/SVG) or a Mermaid flowchart by shelling out to the `regulex-plus` CLI. Use whenever the user asks to explain, debug, understand, optimize, or document a regex — especially complex patterns with quantifiers, lookarounds, alternations, or CJK/Chinese characters — and also proactively after you yourself generate or modify a non-trivial regex, so the user can verify it visually. Pick Mermaid for embedding in docs / PRs / chats that render Mermaid natively (GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, mermaid.live); pick PNG for inline image preview
Apitube News API
apitube/news-api-skills
Query the APITube News API — authenticate, search and filter worldwide news articles by keyword, entity, sentiment, source, country and date, and parse the JSON response. Use when an agent needs live or historical news data, media monitoring, or news for a RAG pipeline.
Zlib Skill
5soluna/zlib-skill
Find and download ebooks from Z-Library and Anna's Archive. Use when the user wants to search by title, author, ISBN, or partial clues; compare editions, languages, or formats; download a chosen book; use Anna's Archive without an account; log in to Z-Library; or diagnose a source that is unavailable.
