Start-of-work triage in this monorepo.

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/'tackle-issue' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'tackle-issue' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named tackle-issue already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/gtapps/hermitd' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c2d971ab801daa0725f1554f92e405e62f76a3e8' -- '.agents/skills/tackle-issue' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/tackle-issue' ~/.agents/skills/'tackle-issue' && 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/'tackle-issue' ~/.claude/skills/'tackle-issue' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
