Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By aeonfun/aeon (GitHub) · coding · 791 stars · scanned at commit 5981e1c

Monitor Internet Computer canisters for control-plane changes - a new controller, a module-hash change (upgrade), or a canister going missing from the public index - and alert the moment one happens. Uses only the public IC dashboard API.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'canister-status' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'canister-status' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named canister-status already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '5981e1caa880e9bc186e1bf9f27c095b3ba9ef22' -- 'skills/canister-status' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/canister-status' ~/.agents/skills/'canister-status' && 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/'canister-status' ~/.claude/skills/'canister-status' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
