Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'makefile-validator' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'makefile-validator' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named makefile-validator already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '276af751e659315aaf56d3ad13d7c26f4e72e28a' -- 'devops-skills-plugin/skills/makefile-validator' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'devops-skills-plugin/skills/makefile-validator' ~/.agents/skills/'makefile-validator' && 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/'makefile-validator' ~/.claude/skills/'makefile-validator' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
