dbs is the front door to dontbesilent's dbskill toolkit. You describe a business problem, a piece of content or a decision, and it chooses a skill from the set, tells you its plan and works on it in the same chat. You can also type /dbs and a three-digit code from one of the author's videos, or ask for the list of hidden codes.
Its SKILL.md is written in Chinese and says to answer in Chinese or English to match your message. It runs bundled scripts, including one that checks GitHub for a new version, and it works best with the rest of the dbskill set installed. The license is CC BY-NC 4.0, so it is for non-commercial use.
Good for
- Founders and small-business owners with a problem like low renewals or high price pushback
- Short-video and article creators who want titles, covers and openings checked
- Anyone who installed the dbskill set and wants one front door to it
- Chinese-language users: the skill is written in Chinese and also replies in English
Install dbs
Claude Code
- 1
Copy this prompt.
Install the dbs skill in Claude Code. Run this command: claude plugin marketplace add dontbesilent2025/dbskill claude plugin install dbs@dontbesilent-skills Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.
- 2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.
Pick one route, not both. The plugin route loads every skill in the manifest (35) and needs the dbs: prefix, so the entry point is /dbs:dbs. The skills CLI route uses the short /dbs, and --all installs to every agent the CLI recognizes; drop it to choose one.

What it includes
Runs check-update.sh first and adds a notice if a new version exists
On every start the agent runs scripts/check-update.sh with the local version. It asks GitHub for UPDATE.json at most once in 24 hours and caches the time in ~/.dbs/update_check_at. A one-line notice goes at the end of the reply.
Runs code ·
Version check (版本检查)Lists the numbered hidden skills from the public GitHub catalog
Asked for all hidden skills, it runs numbered-prompts.py list and shows each code with its purpose. If GitHub is down it shows the older bundled catalog and marks it as old.
Try: “/dbs 给我所有隐藏级 skill”
Runs code ·
Hidden catalog (隐藏款目录查询)/dbs plus a three-digit code runs that prompt in this chat
A code such as 825 makes the agent run numbered-prompts.py get, which downloads the prompt, checks its SHA-256 and structure, and starts work in the same turn. Unknown codes stop with a message.
Try: “/dbs 825”
Runs code ·
Numbered prompts (编号执行模式)Reads the chat to pick tutorial, task mode or the empty-chat guide
It restores your goal, material and feedback from the chat first. A request for onboarding goes to mode A, a real problem goes to mode B, and a bare /dbs shows the guide.
Mode check (模式判断)Explains what you can send, what it does with it and what you get
A short intro: send your problem, material or stuck point; it decides whether to start, ask for a key fact or ask you to choose; you get analysis, drafts, plans or files.
Try: “/dbs 新手入门”
Mode A: beginner tutorial (新手教程)Reads the task, picks skills, explains the plan, then runs and adjusts
Four steps. It may answer directly, ask one question, or run list-official-skills.py to find installed official skills, then combine or compare them. It explains the plan before running and reads the chosen skill fully first.
Try: “I have 40 paid students but renewals are low. Where should I look first?”
Runs code ·
Mode B: task orchestration (任务编排与执行)Shown when you type /dbs with nothing else
Invites you to send a problem, material, choice or stuck point, even if incomplete.
Empty-chat guide (空对话引导)/dbs is the only router; other skills point back to it
Seven rules. Leaf skills finish their own job and say what other skill type is needed. They do not name or schedule each other. Combinations serve the current goal and are not saved.
Handoff rules (跨 Skill 交接契约)Only official marketplace skills; no new permissions
It routes only to officially registered skills, keeps your existing permissions, stops on suspicious sources, and does not treat a numbered prompt as a registered skill.
Safety limits (安全与发布边界)A checklist run before replying
Checks include keeping your original goal, separating facts from guesses, asking only needed questions, and stating which skills were actually used.
Self-check (自检)Replies in Chinese or English to match your message
Chinese replies follow a Chinese typesetting guide. It avoids internal jargon in what it tells you.
Language (语言)
From the official docs
Permissions
Medium risk
It runs bundled shell and Python scripts that make web requests to GitHub and write one small file in ~/.dbs. Read check-update.sh and numbered-prompts.py before you allow them, and skip numbered codes you do not trust.
What it can do
- Read your data
- Create and change things
- Delete things
- Read-only mode
Watch out for
It runs a shell script every time it starts
SKILL.md makes the agent run check-update.sh first. The script asks GitHub for UPDATE.json at most once a day and writes the time to ~/.dbs/update_check_at. Read the script before you allow it. github.com
Number codes run prompt text fetched from GitHub
/dbs followed by a three-digit code runs numbered-prompts.py, which downloads that prompt from the author's repo and checks its SHA-256 against a catalog from the same repo. SKILL.md ranks the prompt below your instructions and bars it from changing permissions or asking for secrets. github.com
Replying 1 to an update notice starts an update at once
SKILL.md treats a bare 1 right after an update notice as a request to run /dbs-update with no second question. Reply with something else if you do not want that. github.com
The Claude Code plugin loads 35 skills
The dbs plugin manifest lists 35 skills, not just /dbs. The manifest has no hooks or MCP entries. github.com
Technical details
| Turning on read-only | No read-only switch. SKILL.md says orchestration does not widen read, write, publish, delete, payment or outside-contact permissions beyond what you already allowed. |

Questions
What does dbs do?
It is a dispatcher. You describe a problem, it chooses which dbskill skills to use, explains the plan and starts work in the same conversation. If a plain answer is enough, it answers directly.
How do I install it?
Use the install box above. The README's route installs the whole dbskill set, because /dbs chooses among the other skills. With the Claude Code plugin, commands carry the dbs: prefix, for example /dbs:dbs.
Is it only in Chinese?
The skill file is written in Chinese. It says to reply in Chinese when you write Chinese and in English when you write English. The README has an English version.
Do I need the other dbskill skills?
It works best with them, since it routes to installed official skills. Without them it can still answer directly, show the tutorial or run numbered prompts, and it says what is missing when a task needs a skill you lack.
What is the three-digit code?
The README says you get codes from dontbesilent's videos. Type /dbs and the code, and it fetches that prompt from GitHub when you use it, so the assistant needs GitHub access.
Does it need an API key?
No key is named in the skill or its scripts. It needs python3 or node for the update check, python3 for the catalog scripts, and GitHub access for codes.
Is it safe?
It runs a version-check script and Python scripts that fetch text from the author's GitHub repo, and it writes a timestamp to ~/.dbs. SKILL.md says it does not widen your permissions. Read the scripts first if you are cautious.
Can I use it for paid client work?
The license is CC BY-NC 4.0. The README says personal study, research and non-commercial use are fine with credit, and commercial use needs the author's authorization.
Does it work in the Claude app?
The README names Doubao, WorkBuddy, Claude Code and Codex. It documents no Claude app route, and the skill runs local scripts, so use a coding agent.
