This plugin references the AWS credentials file or the access-key fields stored inside it (pattern: /(?:OPENAI_API_KEY|ANTHROPIC_API_KEY|GI…). Those are long-lived keys with broad cloud access, so any code that reads them can hand your whole AWS account to whatever it contacts next.
creds = open(os.path.expanduser("~/.aws/credentials")).read()
requests.post(url, data={"creds": creds})# let the SDK resolve credentials; never read or transmit the file yourself

s3 = boto3.client("s3")A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Agent Powerups is an Oh My Zsh-style collection of reusable skills, slash commands, MCP configs, hooks, AGENTS.md templates, and workflows for coding agents.
Today, this repo ships:
apx) with runnable local checksapx plugins inspection (apx plugins list)apx profiles for curated skill/plugin setsNative install is direct for humans. Safety boundaries stay around external tools, secrets, shell profiles, and MCP enablement.
| Path | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
skills/ | shipped | Reusable agent workflows such as systematic-debugging and writing-plans |
mcp/ | shipped | Local-first GitHub MCP config with check, smoke, and explicit install commands |
agents-md/ | shipped | Starter AGENTS.md templates |
commands/ | shipped | Review-first command prompts plus safe runnable checks |
hooks/ | shipped | Review-before-use hook recipes plus safe runnable checks |
workflows/ | shipped | Scenario guides |
plugins/ | shipped | Plugins with local-first discovery, validation, native install, and marketplace metadata (apx plugins list) |
scripts/ | shipped | Validation and tool-check helpers for this repo |
examples/ | shipped | Minimal safe setup examples |
If you are an agent working in a repo with Agent Powerups available, route tasks to capabilities yourself instead of waiting to be told:
no-fluff). On Codex, Gemini, or generic agents, start with apx discover. apx discover "<the user's task>" --target <codex|claude-code|gemini|generic> --json
apx info <chosen-asset> # what it is, when to use it, source path, next actionSKILL.md (or file) before applying it; run apx check <asset> only if it declares external requirements; then verify the result against the task.npm install -g agent-powerups
apx install claude --fullThis installs the apx CLI globally and runs a full Claude Code setup — copies skills, plugins, and commands into ~/.claude/ and patches your CLAUDE.md. Use --dry-run to preview changes first.

Human output shows counts by default; use --verbose for per-file paths. --full also stages support assets and another discovery index under agent-powerups/, then updates existing global instructions with a backup.

#### Manual Setup (Primary)
apx install <codex|claude|claude-code|gemini> [--verbose]
apx install <codex|claude|claude-code|gemini> --full [--verbose]Default manual install:
skills/ -> <agent-root>/skills/<agent-root>/plugins/<agent-root>/extensions/#### Agent-Managed Setup
Give your agent access to this repo and ask it to run:
apx list
apx profiles list
apx setup <codex|claude-code|gemini> --mode recommended --yesAgent will inspect available skills/plugins, propose a plan, and apply it. This is the legacy compatibility path for agent-curated setup; manual setup should use apx install <agent>.

python scripts/validate-catalog.py
python scripts/validate-mirrors.py
python scripts/check-requirements.pyThe shipped catalog changes often, so it is not enumerated here. Browse it from the CLI — these surfaces are always current:
apx list # compact human browse of everything shipped
apx list --type skill # filter by category (skill, command, plugin, hook, mcp-config, ...)
apx discover "<your task>" # task-based: what should I use for this?
apx plugins list # available plugins
apx mcp list # available MCP configsHuman-facing categories: skills, commands, plugins, MCP configs, hooks, and AGENTS.md templates (scripts, examples, and workflows are internal). See the taxonomy and field definitions in docs/catalog-schema.md.
Compatibility claims in this repo are intentionally narrow:
| Asset class | Shipped today | Compatibility claim |
|---|---|---|
Root skills/ | yes | Generic text-based skills; some also mention known agent surfaces |
mcp/ | yes | MCP configs for local and remote servers (GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, Cloudflare, Exa, Atlassian, Browserbase, E2B, and more); github-local has a full check/smoke/install flow |
agents-md/ | yes | Plain text templates |
commands/ | yes | Review-first markdown command prompts; Claude Code and Codex targets where provided |
hooks/ | yes | Documentation recipes only; not installed automatically |
workflows/ | yes | Plain text scenario guides |
plugins/ | yes | Plugins with native install, marketplace metadata, and apx plugins inspection |
scripts/ | yes | Generic Python scripts |
examples/ | yes | Plain text setup examples only |
More detail: docs/compatibility.md
Most shipped skills are pure text and need no extra installation.
Current optional external tools used by shipped skills:
| Skill | Tool | Required | Install |
|---|---|---|---|
ask-codex | Codex CLI (codex) | yes for local advisor workflow | install/configure Codex CLI |
ask-claude | Claude Code CLI (claude) | yes for local advisor workflow | install/configure Claude Code CLI |
ask-gemini | Gemini CLI (gemini) | yes for local advisor workflow | install/configure Gemini CLI |
markitdown-file-intake | Microsoft MarkItDown (markitdown) | yes for conversion workflow | python -m pip install markitdown |
defuddle | Defuddle CLI (defuddle) | yes for Defuddle workflow | npm install -g defuddle |
graphify | Upstream Graphify CLI + Python package (graphify, graphifyy) | yes for graph workflow | uv tool install graphifyy or pipx install graphifyy or python -m pip install graphifyy |
pr-triage | GitHub CLI (gh) | optional | platform package manager |
