Intellectronica - Agent Skills Setup Guide¶
Source: intellectronica/agent-skills (63.1K+ combined installs) GitHub: intellectronica/agent-skills (279 ⭐) Category: Agent Tools / Multi-Utility Quality Tier: 🟡 Beta (high installs, low GitHub stars)
A personal agent skills toolkit with 22 skills covering knowledge management (Notion, Anki, Raindrop), content tools (YouTube transcripts, Mermaid diagrams, markdown conversion), developer utilities (Context7 docs, Copilot SDK, code search), and infrastructure (Upstash Redis, Tavily search, Google Workspace). Despite low GitHub visibility (279 stars), install counts are substantial - 63.1K+ combined - driven by practical, well-scoped skills that solve specific agent needs.

Key Capabilities¶
Knowledge & Productivity (Highest Impact)¶
- notion-api (60K installs - flagship skill): Full CRUD on Notion pages, databases, blocks, and comments. Supports searching, filtering, and rich text. Most-installed skill in the toolkit by a wide margin.
- youtube-transcript (3.1K installs): Fetch transcripts with timestamps, multi-language support. Useful for content analysis and video summarization.
- anki-connect: Create, update, and review Anki flashcards programmatically - ideal for spaced repetition learning automation
- raindrop-api: Search, organize, and manage bookmarks across collections
Developer & Search¶
- context7: Retrieve current documentation for any library/framework - avoids stale training data
- copilot-sdk: Build custom Copilot extensions with streaming, tools, agents, and MCP servers
- gog-cli: Full Google Workspace automation from the command line - Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides
- mgrep-code-search: Search across multiple codebases with regex and structured output
Creative & Visual¶
- beautiful-mermaid: Render Mermaid diagrams to SVG/PNG for documentation and presentations
- ray-so-code-snippet: Generate styled code screenshots for social media and docs
- gpt-image-1-5: Programmatic image generation and editing
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js | 18+ |
| Notion API Key | For notion-api (integration token + page access) |
| Tavily API Key | For tavily search |
| Context7 API Key | For context7 docs lookup |
| Google Cloud | For gog-cli (OAuth credentials) |
| Anki + AnkiConnect | For anki-connect (desktop app + plugin) |
Quick Start¶
# 1. Install the flagship skill
npx skills add intellectronica/agent-skills --skill notion-api
# 2. Install YouTube and search tools
npx skills add intellectronica/agent-skills --skill youtube-transcript
npx skills add intellectronica/agent-skills --skill tavily
# 3. Verify
npx skills list | grep intellectronica
# 4. Use in Hermes - skills load on trigger
# "Search Notion for the Q3 roadmap" → notion-api
# "Get the transcript of this YouTube video" → youtube-transcript
Verification¶
# Check installed skills
npx skills list | grep -E "notion-api|youtube-transcript|tavily"
# Test Notion - requires NOTION_API_KEY in environment
# "List my Notion databases"
# Test YouTube transcript
# "Get transcript from https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
Notes¶
- notion-api dominates at 60K installs (95% of the toolkit's total) - it's the primary motivation for most users
- Low GitHub stars (279) despite high install counts suggests the repo is personal/niche but the skills solve real problems
- The gog-cli skill overlaps with the existing
google-workspacecatalog entry - prefer gog-cli for CLI-centric workflows, Google Workspace skill for API-centric - context7 and tavily are useful complements to existing
web-searchandweb-extractcapabilities - they provide structured, AI-optimized search results - copilot-sdk is valuable if you're building custom GitHub Copilot extensions alongside Hermes agents
- Most skills require API keys - configure in environment variables before first use
