writing-pattern-skills
100 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try.
Use when authoring a new skill for the patterns plugin, or when revising an existing pattern skill so it conforms to the plugin's conventions. Applies when a recurring design pressure needs to be captured as a named, reusable pattern, including its frontmatter, section structure, and the references directory layout.
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/'writing-pattern-skills' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'writing-pattern-skills' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named writing-pattern-skills already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/DavidSouther/ailly' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3b72cbd7d7d6d933ac8e173639b08c833d2a844a' -- 'general/skills/writing-pattern-skills' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'general/skills/writing-pattern-skills' ~/.agents/skills/'writing-pattern-skills' && 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/'writing-pattern-skills' ~/.claude/skills/'writing-pattern-skills' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
