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
Add the DBHQ marketplace, once
/plugin marketplace add dbhq-uk/marketplaceInstall 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)
The nine
Microsoft 365 mail and calendar, from the terminal
/plugin install outlook-graph@dbhq
Your boards, run from your agent
/plugin install trello@dbhq
Research that settles a decision, and says when it cannot
/plugin install legwork@dbhq
Checks whether your repository still agrees with itself
/plugin install dovetail@dbhq
Strips AI tells from prose and puts a voice back
/plugin install verve@dbhq
Compiler-exact code search for .NET
/plugin install vela@dbhq
Your Garmin data, answered in the terminal
/plugin install garmin@dbhq
Images from GPT Image 2, costed before it spends
/plugin install gpt-image-2@dbhq
Debug a machine you cannot log into
/plugin install heliograph@dbhq
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.
