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

Open an executable and its argument array in a visible terminal window through a reusable, shell-free launch plan with dry-run, JSON, capability detection, detached fallback, and standalone recovery modes. Use when Codex needs to open an interactive CLI, SSH session, local development process, sandbox, or other argv-based command in a new host terminal; diagnose whether a supported terminal is available; or provide an actionable plan when the requested terminal is unsupported.
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/'terminal-opener' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'terminal-opener' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named terminal-opener 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 "$d" checkout --quiet 'd2ef2680594f9a17526a6e1a2e18b3d242c5d17b' -- 'skills/terminal-opener' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/terminal-opener' ~/.agents/skills/'terminal-opener' && 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/'terminal-opener' ~/.claude/skills/'terminal-opener' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
