80 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By affaan-m/ECC (GitHub) · coding · 300,508 stars · scanned at commit d2ef268
Research-before-coding workflow: search npm/PyPI, MCP servers, skills, and GitHub for existing tools before writing custom code, then adopt, extend, or build. Launches the researcher agent for non-trivial needs. Use when starting a feature, adding a dependency or integration, or about to write a utility that may already exist.
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/'search-first' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'search-first' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named search-first already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd2ef2680594f9a17526a6e1a2e18b3d242c5d17b' -- 'skills/search-first' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/search-first' ~/.agents/skills/'search-first' && 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/'search-first' ~/.claude/skills/'search-first' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
