95 / 100 · Low risk

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

Run a vault backup right now and report the verified result. Use when the user says 'back up now', 'take a backup before I do this', or is about to make a big change. Not for scheduling or changing where backups go (`backup-setup`); not for getting files back (`backup-restore`).

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/'backup-now' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'backup-now' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named backup-now already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davekilleen/Dex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd759c3a0e91e617d1bd879dc449d6d61681b90fb' -- '.agents/skills/backup-now' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/backup-now' ~/.agents/skills/'backup-now' && 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/'backup-now' ~/.claude/skills/'backup-now' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
