Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted - publisher authority (Li Jigang, veteran Chinese tech blogger) with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket Pass, but Snyk carries a warning on the top skill (see Security Audit Status)
Li Jigang - a long-time Chinese tech blogger and community moderator - publishes a 30-skill personal knowledge-work suite. The skills encode his own working methods: ljg-card turns content into PNG share cards (long-form narrative, full-text layout, comic panels, and whiteboard argument modes via -l, -f, -c, -w flags), ljg-paper and ljg-paper-flow structure academic paper reading, ljg-writes and ljg-word-flow cover writing workflows, ljg-learn handles deliberate learning, ljg-think structures thinking, and ljg-invest supports investment research.
The suite is distinctive for its tightly parameterized interfaces: ljg-card declares its four modes as a parameter table with dimensions, image roles, and required read order - an unusually precise skill design. The skills are consistent bestsellers on skills.sh (top skills all 6-7K installs).

Security Audit Status (skills.sh, verified Aug 31, 2026)¶
| Skill | Gen Agent Trust Hub | Socket | Snyk |
|---|---|---|---|
| ljg-card | Pass | Pass | Warn |
Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket Pass; Snyk carries a warning - the reason this suite ships 🟡 Trusted rather than 🟢 Production.
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Share-card generation | ljg-card's parameterized card modes are a reference pattern for visual content produced from text |
| Research synthesis | ljg-paper + ljg-paper-flow structure reading pipelines for research sweeps |
| Skill design reference | The ljg-card parameter table (modes, dimensions, image roles, read order) is a model for writing precise, parameterized skills |
| Writing workflows | ljg-writes and ljg-word-flow complement CorpusIQ content production |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Source language is Chinese. The SKILL.md files ship in the original Chinese and are not translated; agents must handle the original-language instruction text, and downstream English output requires translation discipline. Named per the non-English-suite precedent (wecomteam, genshijin).
- The suite is one author's personal method collection; it is opinionated by design.
- Snyk warning is named in the tier above.
Verification after install:
