Third-Party Packaged Skills
Third-party packaged skills are externally sourced or optional skills that HivemindOS curates for the shared brain.
They can be auto-installed only when they are foundational and safe for a fresh install. Otherwise they live in the optional catalog until the user chooses them.
Auto-Installed Third-Party Pack
The Obsidian Native Brain Pack is auto-installed because agents need reliable Obsidian-native writing skills immediately:
| Skill | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
obsidian-markdown |
kepano/obsidian-skills |
Obsidian Flavored Markdown, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, tags, math, Mermaid, and footnotes. |
obsidian-bases |
kepano/obsidian-skills |
Native .base YAML views over vault notes. |
json-canvas |
kepano/obsidian-skills |
Obsidian .canvas maps, boards, and flowcharts. |
defuddle |
kepano/obsidian-skills |
Clean markdown extraction from web pages when the local Defuddle CLI is installed. |
HivemindOS does not auto-install the upstream obsidian-cli skill because the app already carries HivemindOS-aware Obsidian CLI and vault write policy.
Optional Third-Party Skills
Optional skills live in:
packaged-skills/optional/
Current optional catalog:
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
design/ UI Skills pack |
109 optional UI and design-engineering skills from the UI Skills directory, grouped as design/<source>/<skill>/ so duplicate upstream names remain distinct, and installable together through the Design Optional Skills Directory pack. |
design/nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max |
UI/UX implementation guidance, design stack data, templates, and helper scripts for richer frontend work. |
media/higgsfield/higgsfield-generate |
Higgsfield media-generation skill for images, video, 3D, audio, Marketing Studio, and Virality Predictor. It supports both Higgsfield Cloud API via shared env keys and the standard consumer CLI/dashboard, asks which surface to use when unspecified, and forbids procedural fallback for Higgsfield requests. |
n8n/ n8n GTM pack |
8 optional n8n GTM-automation skills from forma-norden/n8n-gtm-workflow-pack (MIT), grouped as n8n/forma-norden/<skill>/ and installable together through the N8N Optional Skills Directory pack. Covers lead ingestion/enrichment, outreach orchestration, CRM sync, lead scoring/routing, workflow reliability guardrails, observability/cost control, Clay integration, and self-hosting. |
Optional third-party skills are vendored by scripts/import-packaged-skills.mjs, which pins each skill to an upstream commit and sha256 in skills-lock.json; run node scripts/import-packaged-skills.mjs --verify to detect drift.
Optional skills must be self-contained and installable without relying on any single machine’s local runtime paths.
Review Rules
Before promoting a third-party skill to auto-install:
- Confirm license compatibility and record upstream source metadata.
- Remove or adapt commands that could mutate user data unexpectedly.
- Make sure the skill respects HivemindOS vault, shared env, and secret-handling rules.
- Update this docs section,
packaged-skills/README.md, and the whole-brain shared-skill docs.
