if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'lean-comments' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'lean-comments' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named lean-comments already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '227949a7542a55d2155c00e7cdb998d9a0fee4f3' -- 'skills/lean-comments' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/lean-comments' ~/.agents/skills/'lean-comments' && 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/'lean-comments' ~/.claude/skills/'lean-comments' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
