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/'macos-patterns' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'macos-patterns' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named macos-patterns already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/freekmurze/dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '26bd6ac3c4ef9afd949dc1de12d96fddc2548710' -- 'config/claude/skills/macos-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'config/claude/skills/macos-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'macos-patterns' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

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