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

End-to-end AscendC custom operator development for Ascend NPU in an ascend-kernel (csrc/ops + build.sh + torch_npu PyTorch custom op) project. Use to design, generate, build, test, document, and tune a new AscendC operator from a name and a math/functional spec. Covers project init, two-level tiling design, op_host/op_kernel code generation, framework registration, compile/install/debug, PyTorch-style API docs, precision evaluation and root-cause debugging, torch_npu.profiler performance benchm…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'ascendc' ~/.claude/skills/'ascendc' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
