Sixteen 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 sixteen
Microsoft 365 mail and calendar, from the terminal
Reads and sends Microsoft 365 mail, runs a calendar, and handles drafts, attachments and availability over the Graph API with no MCP server. Replies keep every recipient by default. A second skill turns a PST export into markdown with a SHA256 chain of custody.
/plugin install outlook@dbhq
Your boards, run from your agent
Trello skills in one install, over the REST API: boards, lists and cards end to end, a status digest for a board, a radar for what is slipping across all of them, and a shopping list sorted into supermarket aisle order.
/plugin install trello@dbhq
Research that settles a decision, and says when it cannot
Multi-source research where every claim carries how well it is supported, a source is judged by the claim it backs rather than by its domain, and corroboration counts only across sources that could have disagreed. A run that settles nothing says so.
/plugin install legwork@dbhq
Checks whether your repository still agrees with itself
Seventeen deterministic checks over a repository - dead links, moved heading anchors, orphaned files, duplicated content, documented flags a script does not accept, manifests that disagree about a version - with no model, no network and no packages, and every finding marked proven or heuristic. Model reviewers add what Python cannot settle, such as contradictions between documents.
/plugin install dovetail@dbhq
Strips AI tells from prose and puts a voice back
Strips the tells that mark writing as machine-made and puts a voice back, in British or American English, pitched at a named reader. Four tone presets, three strengths, a two-way politeness check, and meaning as a veto: no figure, name or claim changes.
/plugin install verve@dbhq
Compiler-exact code search, in any language you index
Definitions, references, direct callers and implementations in about a second. Roslyn-exact for C#, Visual Basic, Razor and Blazor, whose compiler-resolved references it saves to an index you query with no server running, and any other language through its SCIP index, in the same database.
/plugin install vela@dbhq
Your Garmin data, answered in the terminal
Body Battery, HRV, resting heart rate, stress, sleep stages and score, activities, VO2 max, training load and readiness, from Garmin Connect. Answered live, or written down as a day's markdown snapshot and a week's rollup you keep. The password is never stored, and nothing but Garmin is ever called.
/plugin install garmin@dbhq
Images from OpenAI, costed before it spends
Generates and edits images with OpenAI's GPT Image models - 27 style presets, platform sizing, transparent backgrounds, masked edits and carousels held together by a reference image. It prices the run before it spends, and a draft costs a fraction of a final, so you iterate on drafts and pay for the one you approved.
/plugin install imager@dbhq
Which branches are finished, and which only look like it
One table per repository: worktree, uncommitted changes, branch, open pull request, ahead, behind, unpushed, and whether the branch can go. It decides the last column by test-merging with git merge-tree, because a squash-merged branch stays ahead of the trunk forever and every obvious check gets it wrong. Work that exists nowhere but this clone is named first.
/plugin install gitview@dbhq
It edits a real page without losing what it does not understand
Raises, reads and comments on Jira issues and moves one at a time through its workflow, after checking the project key, the issue type and the required fields against your site. Searches, reads, creates and updates Confluence pages, and publishes a markdown file to a page. REST API and an API token, no MCP server. To change one block it splices your fragment into the live page, so the macros, colours and inline comments around it never pass through the converter.
/plugin install atlassian@dbhq
A physical letter, posted from the terminal
Puts a PDF in the post: printed in the UK, delivered by Royal Mail, with Signed For, Tracked 24 or 48 and Special Delivery, and the tracking number recorded once Royal Mail issues it. Drafting and sending are separate commands and every draft is a test draft until you say otherwise.
/plugin install pennyblack@dbhq
Your open issues, run as parallel agents
Puts one agent on each issue you pick, in its own git worktree with its own pull request, then runs mechanical quality control and git merge-tree trial merges over the results and proposes an order to merge them in, with a reason per position. It refuses to fan out when the issues are really one piece of work.
/plugin install buildwork@dbhq
What an agent noticed, tracked as real work
Turns what an agent noticed into a tracked GitHub issue, keeps the dependency edges between issues honest, and writes a roadmap into the repository carrying the date, the issue count behind it and a line of reasoning per call - so the ordering can be argued with.
/plugin install deskwork@dbhq
A second agent on the work, and a result you can cite
Four blind patterns for a second agent: red team, second opinion, verify and panel. None is told your conclusion, and that is enforced in code rather than promised in prose. Red team starts in an empty directory rather than your repository, and every run keeps the exact brief it was sent, with its hash in the citation.
/plugin install groupwork@dbhq
One decision at a time, with a recommendation
Puts the decision blocking you as one question, in plain English, with every option carrying its own justification, one named as the recommendation, and a clause saying what would overturn it. It asks nothing it could have answered by reading the repository first, nothing too cheap to be worth your attention, and one thing at a time.
/plugin install headwork@dbhq
Debug a machine you cannot log into
Publish a step, an operator runs it on a machine you cannot log into, and the whole run comes back as a log with every line stamped in UTC - so a hang reads as a gap rather than as slow progress. The station is plain text the operator can read before running it, and nothing holds a connection open.
/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. 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. 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. It is the same judgement you would be buying on an engagement, in a smaller box.
Every page states what its skill will not do
That block is the credibility mechanism this whole site rests on. 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.
