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/'monolith-to-services-extraction' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'monolith-to-services-extraction' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named monolith-to-services-extraction already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/MadBomber/experiments' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8139ff68e8895b544661aa2ba8b53268d68652bc' -- 'ai_misc/skills/rails-skills/42-monolith-to-services-extraction' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'ai_misc/skills/rails-skills/42-monolith-to-services-extraction' ~/.agents/skills/'monolith-to-services-extraction' && 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/'monolith-to-services-extraction' ~/.claude/skills/'monolith-to-services-extraction' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
