Mistake-proof code so misuse cannot be expressed, rather than warning against it. Use when designing an interface, schema, or state machine and the user wants it hard to get wrong ("make invalid states unrepresentable", "so callers cannot screw it up", "type-safe API", "pit of success"); when auditing existing code for footguns ("what could bite us here", "what is easy to misuse", "poka-yoke this repo", "review this diff for ways to get it wrong"); or when a bug has recurred and the fix must cl…

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/'poka-yoke' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'poka-yoke' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named poka-yoke 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '227949a7542a55d2155c00e7cdb998d9a0fee4f3' -- 'skills/poka-yoke' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/poka-yoke' ~/.agents/skills/'poka-yoke' && 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/'poka-yoke' ~/.claude/skills/'poka-yoke' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
