What it is
Garden Skills is a set of Agent Skills, which are packaged instructions and resources that AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can load to perform specific tasks. The README lists six skills, including motion-showreel for code-rendered short videos, web-video-presentation for click-driven web slides, web-design-engineer, gpt-image-2 for image prompting, beautiful-article, and kb-retriever for local knowledge retrieval. It is MIT licensed.
- Generate a short motion video from a brief using the motion-showreel skill
- Turn an article or script into a 16:9 Vite and React presentation with web-video-presentation
- Install a skill into a project via the skills CLI or manual copy
- Pin a specific skill release from the Releases page as a .zip file
Great for
- Developers who use Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and want ready-made skills
- Developers building web presentations that they plan to screen-record
- Creators who want short code-rendered motion videos with narration or music
- Teams wanting a local knowledge retrieval skill for their AI agent
Not ideal for
- People who do not use an AI coding agent, since the skills are built for agents
- Users wanting a standalone desktop app; the README describes skills loaded into agents
- Anyone needing guarantees on output quality, as the README does not benchmark results
How to get it
- 1
See the README
You'll need: An AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ConardLi/garden-skills - 2
Run it
- Choose an install option from the README, such as the skills CLI or manual copy
- Copy or install the skill you want into your agent's skills location
- Open your AI agent and ask it to use the skill for a task that matches its description
- 3
Get the most out of it
- Read each skill's own README and SKILL.md for its workflow and checkpoints
- For motion-showreel, provide your own script or recording if you want narration
- Use the pinned .zip from Releases if you want a fixed version
- Check the web-video-presentation theme gallery to pick one of its 23 built-in themes
Downloads
Strengths
- Covers several distinct tasks (video, presentations, design, images, retrieval) in one repo
- Includes multiple install options, including a pinned .zip and a git submodule
- MIT licensed with a clear README and per-skill documentation links
Trade-offs
- Each skill has its own requirements and workflow, so the README is long and takes time to digest
- Some features depend on external services such as TTS providers, which the README names but this summary does not verify
- The README is truncated, so details for the web-design, gpt-image-2, and kb-retriever skills are unclear here
