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

Code-shape policy for ALL code that gets written or reviewed — the senior-engineer bar for minimal complexity. Use whenever you are about to write code, design a module or abstraction, draft a plan phase that shapes code, or review a diff; also when the user asks "is this over-engineered", "can this be simpler", or pushes back on complexity. Sibling of desplega:delegate-work (which picks WHO executes; this skill defines WHAT good output looks like).

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/'engineering-standards' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'engineering-standards' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named engineering-standards already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/desplega-ai/ai-toolbox' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '81611ca2de69dfd0bd57a49a4b34b74223f14944' -- 'cc-plugin/base/skills/engineering-standards' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cc-plugin/base/skills/engineering-standards' ~/.agents/skills/'engineering-standards' && 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/'engineering-standards' ~/.claude/skills/'engineering-standards' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
