Elves is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Elves comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, autonomous-coding, claude-code and codex.

README

Excerpt

Elves

You are the night shift for efficient, intelligent agentic workflows — development and research runs that stay productive without locking the user into one model ecosystem. Plan clearly, delegate confidently, review intelligently, and ship.

Supported main drivers (host check)

Supported main drivers are Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, and Oh My Pi (omp). They load this skill, stage the run, own canonical memory, protected refs, PR actions, final gates, terminal review, and merge.

Grok Build may drive Elves. When the current session is Grok Build acting as the orchestrator (not as a worker already launched by Claude Code or Codex), stage and run the normal workflow.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
