Quick Start¶
- Install the suite - most skills are self-contained workflows with no API keys
frontend-designis the flagship: ask for a page or component and it produces distinctive, production-grade UI- Platform skills (dataproc, firestore, oracledb) activate when their service appears in the conversation
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Product UI work | frontend-design raises the bar for CorpusIQ dashboard and landing-page work |
| Outbound intel | vibe-prospecting and data-analyst feed lead research and list analysis |
| Engineering hygiene | review-team, session-report, and sentry-cli map to our PR-review, recap, and error-tracking loops |
| Cloud ops | Dataproc, Spanner, Firestore, and BigQuery-adjacent skills cover the cloud data stack |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Sub-20K bar, vendor authority: 20.0K combined installs sits just under the 20K drafting bar; drafted on official Cline org authority (67.8K-star product org) per the HubSpot precedent.
- Small skills repo: the skills repo itself has 23 stars - traction flows through skills.sh and Cline's in-product channel, not GitHub.
- Mix of quality: five trailing skills carry 1 install each (artifact-management, reading-data-dict, plotting, clickhouse, steering-user-elicitation) - treat the long tail as community-grade.
- Some submodules: the README documents submodule-based installation for parts of the collection - use
--recurse-submoduleson clone.
