Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

oss-bounty-finder

Find paid open-source work, OSS bounties, open source grants, or ways to get paid contributing to open source. Use when someone asks any of the following — "find me paid open source work", "show me OSS bounties for Rust", "how do I get paid for open source", "find GitHub bounties", "are there any open source grants I can apply to", "I want to earn money contributing to open source", "find bounties for Python developers", "show me open source funding opportunities", "what repos are paying for contributions", "find me issues with bounties", "show me open source stipends", "I want to contribute to open source and get paid", "find developer grants", "show me NLNet grants", "GSoC alternatives", "paid open source issues". Accepts a stack (Rust, Python, Go, TypeScript, etc.) and optional keywords. Runs a 3-tier parallel TinyFish agent system; Tier 1 scrapes Algora and IssueHunt, Tier 2 fans out across awesome-list repos checking for bounty-labelled issues, Tier 3 scrapes NLNet, Sovereign Tech Fund, Mozilla MOSS, LFX Mentorship, GSoC, and Outreachy. Synthesizes all findings into a structured paid opportunities report.

project-idea-validator

Researches any project idea against live data from GitHub and Dev.to to surface what already exists, how mature the space is, and where the real opportunity lives. Use when a developer describes something they want to build and wants to know if it's been done before. Triggers on phrases like "validate my idea", "has this been built", "is this already a thing", "what exists for X", "should I build this", "is this idea original", "check if my project exists", "what are the alternatives to what I want to build", "is the market saturated for X", or any request to research the competitive landscape before starting a project.

dev-pain-finder

Scrape real developer pain points for any keyword, technology, or problem space from Reddit, Hacker News, dev.to, and GitHub Discussions simultaneously — then group complaints by theme, score them by frequency and upvote weight, and return a ranked opportunity map showing where developer frustration is high and solutions are thin. Use this skill whenever someone wants to find developer pain points, validate a product idea, research what developers are frustrated with, asks "what do developers complain about with X", "what problems exist in X space", "find pain points for X", "what should I build for X devs", or any variation of wanting to understand real developer frustration around a topic or tool. Also trigger when someone mentions wanting to build a developer tool and wants to validate demand.

interview-prep

Generate a structured interview preparation guide for any company by scraping real candidate experiences from Glassdoor, Blind, and Reddit in real time using parallel TinyFish agents. Use this skill whenever a user mentions preparing for an interview at a specific company, wants to know what a company's interview process is like, asks "what questions does X ask", "how hard is X's interview", "what should I prepare for X", "X interview experience", or any variation of wanting to know what actually happens in interviews at a named company. Returns a structured prep guide: most frequent topics, real questions that came up, actual difficulty level, what candidates wish they had studied, and role-specific patterns.

kb-builder

Build an Obsidian-compatible knowledge base from public web sources using the TinyFish CLI. Use this skill when a user wants a builder-grade markdown knowledge base on a technical topic, asks for a structured research vault, or wants a topic compiled from live public sources into interlinked markdown files. Supports two input modes: topic only, or topic plus starter URLs. Supports both first-build and update workflows. Always generates index.md, sources.md, audit.md, and manifest.json. Creates additional files only when the evidence supports them. The output must synthesize the topic into a usable mental model, not just summarize pages. Uses explicit tinyfish agent run commands and public web sources only. Optional `--trace` mode saves raw TinyFish outputs under `_trace/` for debugging.

npm-package-comparator

Compare two or more npm packages side by side using live data — downloads, bundle size, GitHub stars, last update, known vulnerabilities, and community sentiment. Use this skill when a user asks "zustand vs jotai vs redux", "compare react-query and swr", "which state management library should I use", "what's the difference between X and Y", "is X better than Y for my use case", "help me choose between these packages", or any request to compare npm packages or decide between JavaScript libraries.

oss-alternatives

Find actively maintained open source alternatives to any paid SaaS tool or commercial API. Use this skill whenever a user mentions wanting to replace, swap out, self-host, or find a free/open source version of a paid tool — including but not limited to tools like Datadog, Algolia, Twilio, Stripe, Auth0, Segment, Mixpanel, Intercom, PagerDuty, LaunchDarkly, SendGrid, Cloudinary, or any other commercial developer tool or API. Also trigger when the user says things like "is there an open source version of X", "I don't want to pay for X", "self-host alternative to X", or "what can I use instead of X for free". Runs parallel TinyFish agents to search GitHub and developer communities, then checks the real health of each candidate — last release, contributor count, stars, Docker support, and feature parity — and returns a ranked comparison with a plain English gain/loss summary.
