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

Use for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.

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/'why' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'why' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named why already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Aqua-123/pstack-for-codex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd5b20bce6f0602e3155960b5ea46e47fa0692ad2' -- 'skills/why' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/why' ~/.agents/skills/'why' && 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/'why' ~/.claude/skills/'why' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
