Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'plain-writing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'plain-writing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named plain-writing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e797ed58cfe6dd6453fe7632f89d7226d203f6f6' -- 'cursor-claude-codex/skills/plain-writing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cursor-claude-codex/skills/plain-writing' ~/.agents/skills/'plain-writing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'plain-writing' ~/.claude/skills/'plain-writing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
