friction

95 / 100 · Low risk

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

By bendrucker/claude (GitHub) · coding · 18 stars · scanned at commit 497d619

Find persistent friction in the development setup (contention, slow or failing commands, tool gaps) from machine telemetry, count each symptom across days in a ledger, and surface only small fixes for symptoms that keep recurring. Use for the scheduled daily or weekly friction run, or to pick an item from a run's below-the-cut list.

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/'friction' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'friction' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named friction already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/bendrucker/claude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '497d619eb22e6f93dd49c4d8f6ff4a52578e0949' -- 'plugins/friction/skills/friction' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/friction/skills/friction' ~/.agents/skills/'friction' && 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/'friction' ~/.claude/skills/'friction' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
