Peekaboo
Peekaboo is a full macOS UI automation CLI: capture/inspect screens, target UI
elements, drive input, and manage apps/windows/menus. Commands share a snapshot
cache and most support --json-output for scripting. Run peekaboo or
peekaboo <cmd> --help for flags; peekaboo --version prints build metadata.
Tip: run via polter peekaboo to ensure fresh builds.

sglang
MetaSGLang is a high-performance LLM serving framework that specializes in fast, structured generation for JSON, regex, and agentic workflows using its RadixAttention prefix caching. It delivers significantly faster inference, especially for tasks with repeated prefixes, making it ideal for complex, structured outputs and multi-turn conversations. Choose SGLang over alternatives like vLLM when you need constrained decoding or are building applications with extensive prefix sharing.
langchain
MetaLangChain is a framework for building LLM applications using agents, chains, and RAG pipelines. It supports multiple LLM providers, offers 500+ integrations, and includes features like tool calling and memory management. Use it for rapid prototyping and deploying production systems like chatbots, autonomous agents, and question-answering services.
Algorithmic Art Generation
MetaThis skill helps developers create algorithmic art using p5.js, focusing on generative art, computational aesthetics, and interactive visualizations. It automatically activates for topics like "generative art" or "p5.js visualization" and guides you through creating unique algorithms with features like seeded randomness, flow fields, and particle systems. Use it when you need to build reproducible, code-driven artistic patterns.
webapp-testing
TestingThis Claude Skill provides a Playwright-based toolkit for testing local web applications through Python scripts. It enables frontend verification, UI debugging, screenshot capture, and log viewing while managing server lifecycles. Use it for browser automation tasks but run scripts directly rather than reading their source code to avoid context pollution.
