95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Keep agent skills lean and correct. Use before editing an existing skill, such as adding a lesson; when a code change touches names or behavior a skill describes; and to put a skill on a full diet when it is large, loads detail most tasks never use, or has drifted from the tool it teaches.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-diet' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-diet' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-diet already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ivanrvpereira/.agents' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '7d016345fd103890b4edd83f78ef33bc1f9917b3' -- 'skills/auto/skill-diet' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/auto/skill-diet' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-diet' && 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/'skill-diet' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-diet' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
