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

Check a diff for overbuilt code: hidden assumptions, needless abstraction, non-surgical changes, unverified goals (Karpathy's four principles). Load whenever the user thinks they overcomplicated something or wants a pre-commit check.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'karpathy-coder' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'karpathy-coder' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named karpathy-coder already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '91a1ddaab1ae8fe95b8ecd3e98419458db86a992' -- 'engineering/karpathy-coder/skills/karpathy-coder' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'engineering/karpathy-coder/skills/karpathy-coder' ~/.agents/skills/'karpathy-coder' && 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/'karpathy-coder' ~/.claude/skills/'karpathy-coder' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
