What this skill can do

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'research-first-principle-deconstructor' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'research-first-principle-deconstructor' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named research-first-principle-deconstructor already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/diegosouzapw/awesome-omni-skill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'a6b3c3005cedf056a48b084671c6282426d6e9fc' -- 'skills/development/research-first-principle-deconstructor' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/development/research-first-principle-deconstructor' ~/.agents/skills/'research-first-principle-deconstructor' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'research-first-principle-deconstructor' ~/.claude/skills/'research-first-principle-deconstructor' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
