Wtf does this do

This repository is a small, personal collection of two Agent Skills shared by its author, described in the README with a casual, no frills tone: a short line saying these are skills the author uses, that others might find useful, and nothing more. The first skill is called effect. Its description is a single line: production TypeScript with Effect v4, referring to Effect, a TypeScript library for writing functional, effect based programs. The README does not go further than that one line, so it is not clear from the source material exactly what guidance or actions the skill provides beyond helping someone write TypeScript code using the Effect v4 library in a way suited for production use. The second skill is called code-walkthrough. It is described as producing visible, verified code tours inside Neovim, a text editor, using something called Terminal Control and a tool named Navi, with optional recording through OBS, a screen recording program. Again, the README gives only this brief description and does not explain further what a code tour looks like in practice or how verification works. Both skills are meant to be installed using a command line tool called skills, by running a command that adds this repository as a source and specifies which of the two skills to install, either effect or code-walkthrough. There is no other setup information, no license statement, and no further documentation included in the README. Overall, this is a minimal, sparsely documented repository: it names two skills, gives a one line description of each, and shows the install command, without expanding on how either skill behaves once installed.
