Nine skills for your coding agent

Free, open-source skills that extend Claude Code and Codex with capabilities drawn from real delivery work - each installs from the DBHQ marketplace with a single command, no sign-up.

Two commands, then you have it

  1. Add the DBHQ marketplace, once

    /plugin marketplace add dbhq-uk/marketplace
  2. Install any skill by name

    /plugin install <name>@dbhq

Both commands work in Claude Code and in Codex. The marketplace is a public repository you can read first: dbhq-uk/marketplace (external site)

What is a skill?

A package of instructions and tooling that teaches a coding agent - Claude Code or Codex - to do something it could not do before. Not a chatbot wrapper: the agent gains a real capability, calls real APIs, and works in your terminal alongside your code. Each of these started as something I needed on an engagement, got hardened until it was reliable enough to depend on, and then got published. That is the whole selection rule - if I do not use it myself, it is not here.

Why are they free?

Because they are the most honest demonstration I have. You can read every line, install it in one command and judge the engineering yourself, before you ever talk to me. That is a stronger argument than a case study and a far stronger one than a slide - and it is the same judgement you would be buying on an engagement, just given away in a smaller box.

Every page states what its skill will not do

That is not modesty, and it is not a disclaimer either. Legwork tells you how well a finding is supported and will say it settled nothing. Dovetail refuses to pick a side, because what disagrees is decidable and which side is right usually is not. Verve treats meaning as a veto and is not a detector-evasion tool. Vela says so when a project fails to load rather than returning a shorter answer. A tool that never names its ceiling is one you cannot calibrate, and a limit you find out about yourself, later, costs more than one you were told.
