What dbskill is

dbskill is a Chinese AI Skills toolkit made by dontbesilent, with 34 Skills. After you install it in Doubao, WorkBuddy, Claude Code, Codex, or another Agent that supports Skills, you can use it directly in the conversation.

A Skill is a working method written for an Agent. With dbskill installed, you can ask your Agent to:

• Find where a business problem comes from, for example low renewals or customers saying the price is too high
• Find peers worth learning from and see exactly how they work
• Turn a topic into a content plan, and check where a draft fails to connect with readers
• Write the title, cover text, and opening for a video, and check it for platform-review risks before publishing
• Analyze why you know what to do but still have not done it
• Turn a local folder into a knowledge base you can query at any time

The methods come from 16,152 public posts by dontbesilent, organized into 4,176 knowledge atoms. Author: @dontbesilent

Quick start

Step 1: Install

Run in a terminal:

npx -y skills add dontbesilent2025/dbskill -g --all

To use the Claude Code marketplace or install a single Skill, see Installation details below.

In Grok Bot, just add the ready-made dbs 创业教练 (startup coach) or dbs 内容教练 (content coach). See Use it in Grok Bot.

Step 2: Give your question to /dbs

In your Agent's chat box, enter /dbs followed by your situation and question. Incomplete information is fine:

/dbs I run coding classes for children. I have 40 paid students, but renewals are low. I don't know whether to check the product, pricing, or customer fit first.

If this is your first time, you can enter /dbs 新手入门 to see which tasks it can handle.

Step 3: Continue in the same conversation

After you get a result, add facts, material, or change requests directly. You do not need to enter the command again. When you switch to a new goal, enter /dbs again.

Use it in Grok Bot

In Grok Bot you don't type any commands. Add one of the ready-made coaches, and it installs dbskill by itself in your first chat. The coaches talk in Chinese.

Coach	What it helps with	Add link
dbs 创业教练 (startup coach)	Find where your business is stuck and the one thing to do this week; if you want, it checks in every Monday	https://x.ai/bot/kpZtlm5CADHoXaaAqTV5Z
dbs 内容教练 (content coach)	Pick topics, write titles, cover text and openings, check drafts, review how each post did; if you want, it checks in every Friday	https://x.ai/bot/qonh7lyBBYsbUXsR9LtO2

How to use it

1. Open a link above, tap "Add to Grok Bot", and confirm in the Grok Bot app
2. Say "hi" to the new coach. It spends a few minutes installing dbskill, then asks you a few questions about your business or account
3. Then just ask your question, for example "My course renewal rate is low. What should I check first?"

If the coach says it cannot install

Send it the block below as-is. For the content coach, replace the final startup with content:

Please run these two commands in your environment to install dbskill, and show me the output as-is:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dontbesilent2025/dbskill /tmp/dbskill 2>/dev/null || git -C /tmp/dbskill pull --ff-only
python3 /tmp/dbskill/tools/grok/install.py --coach startup

To install dbskill in your own Grok Bot without a coach, send the same block with startup replaced by all. This installs all 29 public Skills.

How /dbs arranges Skills

/dbs is the Skill dispatch desk of dbskill. It starts from the final result you want, then decides which Skills to use and in what order. It uses as few as possible: simple questions get a direct answer, and if one Skill is enough, it uses only one.

There are 6 common arrangements:

1. Use only one: to diagnose a business model, it uses only dbs-diagnosis
2. Run in sequence: the next step needs the result of the previous one. dbs-content gives a content plan, you write the draft, then dbs-content-risk-check checks publishing risks
3. Run separately: the tasks are unrelated. dbs-ai-check checks for AI-sounding text, dbs-wechat-html does the layout, and you get two separate results
4. Judge first, then decide whether to proceed: dbs-content-value first judges whether a topic is worth doing; if it is, dbs-content produces the plan
5. Analyze separately, then compare: one problem can have several possible causes. When a post gets low traffic, dbs-content-value and dbs-resonate each give their reasons, and /dbs compares them
6. Check after writing, then revise: for text with high requirements, dbs-plain-writing writes it, dbs-ai-check checks it, and then it is revised based on the issues found

When a direction needs your decision, /dbs lists the options for you and does not choose for you. Before it starts, it explains how it plans to arrange the work and why.

Installation details

Run the following commands in a terminal. Do not send them to the Agent as chat messages.

Skills CLI

npx -y skills add dontbesilent2025/dbskill -g --all

-g means global installation, and --all means installing to every Agent the Skills CLI recognizes. To install to only one Agent, remove --all and choose when prompted.

Claude Code marketplace

claude plugin marketplace add dontbesilent2025/dbskill
claude plugin install dbs@dontbesilent-skills

With the plugin, commands need the dbs: prefix, for example /dbs:dbs and /dbs:dbs-diagnosis.

To install only one Skill, install its plugin, for example:

claude plugin install dbs-diagnosis@dontbesilent-skills

Commands not showing after installation

First confirm that the install command succeeded and that it installed to the Agent you are using. Skills CLI installs use short commands, such as /dbs; Claude Code plugins use commands with dbs:. The exact names are whatever your Agent shows.

More usage

Call a Skill directly

After the command, write your question, material, and the result you want:

/dbs-diagnosis I offer home-organization consulting at 3,000 yuan per client. Of my last 10 inquiries, 6 said it was too expensive and 3 did not reply. Please judge what I should verify first.

/dbs-title-cover-intro This is a short-video script I plan to shoot. Please target Xiaohongshu and give me the title, cover text, and opening: paste script

Your results will be more accurate if you include:

• The facts and numbers you already have, such as price, headcount, and sales
• The full draft or material, not just a summary
• The result you want, such as a judgment, a plan, or text you can use directly

Skills that read local files, go online, or process video also need the Agent to have the matching permissions or tools. See each Skill's description for details.

Use a three-digit code from a video

After you get a three-digit code from one of dontbesilent's videos, enter:

/dbs 123

Replace 123 with the code from the video. To see all current codes, enter /dbs 给我所有隐藏级 skill. The code content is read from GitHub when used, so the Agent needs access to GitHub.

Keep conclusions across conversations

Use /dbs-save to save the current conclusions, and /dbs-restore next time to continue. Saved records are stored on your computer in ~/.dbs/.

Repository resources

Installing the Skills does not download these resources. Look them up in the repository when needed.

Resource	Use
Public post collection (Markdown)	Search, read, or give to an AI for analysis
Public post collection (PDF)	Read and keep
Atom library guide	Data scope, fields, and how to use it
Knowledge atom data	Build your own search, analysis, or RAG
Skill knowledge packs	Method material organized by Skill

Updates and help

Say this in your Agent conversation:

更新 dbskill

Updating syncs the official dbskill, keeps the saved records and logs in ~/.dbs/, and automatically removes old Skills that have been retired. For manual cleanup, see the beginner guide. For past changes, see the commit history.
