Before building a feature or fix, search for open-source libraries that already solve it and decide per piece whether to adopt one or build it. A library is adopted only when it is actively maintained, not outdated, and compatible with the project's exact stack (versions, runtime, module format, types). Use when scoping a large or already-solved capability, or when the user asks "is there a library for this", "should we build this ourselves", or wants to avoid reinventing something.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'adopt-or-build' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'adopt-or-build' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named adopt-or-build already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ayoubben18/ab-method' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f42668f49e75d4ecde7a9379bee78283e7965765' -- '.agents/skills/adopt-or-build' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/adopt-or-build' ~/.agents/skills/'adopt-or-build' && 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/'adopt-or-build' ~/.claude/skills/'adopt-or-build' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
