Toggle the badges-page Honesty Mode build-time flag on or off. ON makes the README badge generator emit direct /badges/_assets/<handle>/<file>.svg URLs (no Cloudflare Worker, no ?repo= validation). OFF restores worker-validated URLs. Use when the user says "/honesty-mode on", "/honesty-mode off", "turn honesty mode on/off", or asks for the current honesty-mode state.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'honesty-mode' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'honesty-mode' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named honesty-mode already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/gaia-research/gaia-skill-tree' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9b4d9b98043140188f00b14d0ac8fa6bc02491b7' -- '.agents/skills/honesty-mode' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/honesty-mode' ~/.agents/skills/'honesty-mode' && 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/'honesty-mode' ~/.claude/skills/'honesty-mode' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
