This repository is the reusable skill catalog of the ellmos ecosystem. It contains standalone process skills, development workflows, research helpers, therapy-oriented methods, infrastructure playbooks, and utility tools in an Anthropic-compatible SKILL.md format. Each skill carries its own metadata directly in YAML frontmatter, so runtimes can inspect provenance, compatibility, and dependencies without a central registry.
