Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.

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/'acquire-codebase-knowledge' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'acquire-codebase-knowledge' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named acquire-codebase-knowledge already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/anubhavg-icpl/vibe' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd51e7ac9a34111cd2e63daed83c2198f91570050' -- 'skills/ghcopilot-acquire-codebase-knowledge' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/ghcopilot-acquire-codebase-knowledge' ~/.agents/skills/'acquire-codebase-knowledge' && 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/'acquire-codebase-knowledge' ~/.claude/skills/'acquire-codebase-knowledge' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
