Skills
All 33 skills, grouped the way the work is. Related work is one skill with playbooks, and you ask in plain words.
Every skill runs as /agent-kevin:<name> in Claude Code and $<name> in Codex; these docs use the bare name. You rarely need either: ask in plain words ("brief me", "set today's goals", "how's my site ranking") and the agent picks the skill and the playbook. A playbook runs by name too, after its skill: briefing pulse, goals week, seo audit. A skill with playbooks prints its menu when you ask for help (goals help).
Three skills run only when you name them, because firing one unasked would cost too much: init, release and rename-agent. Every other skill may start on its own when your request clearly calls for it. A skill that writes still asks first: nothing changes knowledge or task state without your confirmation, and the ones that edit code leave committing to you.
A pack badge means the skill works once that pack is switched on through configure-skills. A seo playbook whose key is missing names it and stops.

Tool-only packs
The GitHub pack has no skills of its own. Its tools power the engineer skill's pull-request playbooks (see Pull requests), let adversarial-review take a pull request as its target, and let helpdesk raise tickets as cards. Its writes open and label issues with screenshots attached, and update your own PR's description once you approve it; tools in Configuration. The Database pack is tools only; see Configuration. The Browser pack also grants the browser_* tools and web_search.
The App Store pack is one tool, appstore_reviews: any app's reviews from Apple's public feed, read-only and with no key. The helpdesk pulse uses it when a queue profile names an app. See App Store reviews.
Third-party libraries
Pure-prompt content and marketing libraries are not bundled. configure-skills installs them from skills.sh into <HOME>/.claude/skills/ as symlinks, so upstream updates propagate. Currently offered: aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills (20 skills, Apache-2.0) and coreyhaines31/marketingskills (23 playbooks).
Writing your own
Custom-skill authoring is not a Kevin skill. configure-skills points you at your host's skill-authoring tooling (Claude Code ships a skill-creator plugin).
