85 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By jiayaoqijia/cryptoskill (GitHub) · other · 81 stars · scanned at commit 0dc9f60

Use when a request does not fit the time available and a flat "no" would read as obstruction. Declines by showing the cost and what it would displace, so the tradeoff is the requester's to make.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jiayaoqijia/cryptoskill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '0dc9f60ab1f3fcae24da49c4cef09c46c589f903' -- 'skills/payments/0xklen-decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/payments/0xklen-decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' ~/.agents/skills/'decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' && 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/'decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' ~/.claude/skills/'decline-work-with-a-costed-tradeoff' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
