Uncertain​

  • Install commands beyond the two quoted above (e.g. pip install kdense-skills) were not re-verified — check each repo's README before running.
  • Descriptions are summarized from the post images; nuance may differ from the repos' own READMEs.
  • No DMs were read for these posts; some captions mention links shared via DM (e.g. @godofprompt offered setup guides by DM), which were not retrieved.
