if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'brooks-debt' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'brooks-debt' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named brooks-debt already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3e1e6b20ffc28f42923e391f29f075c424e19e64' -- 'plugins/hyhmrright/brooks-lint/skills/brooks-debt' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/hyhmrright/brooks-lint/skills/brooks-debt' ~/.agents/skills/'brooks-debt' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

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