By mcollina/skills (GitHub) · coding · 1,968 stars · scanned at commit c75d70d
Contributes to and debugs Node.js core, including nodejs/node commit and PR tone, contribution workflows, native crashes, V8 performance, node-gyp builds, N-API bindings, and libuv issues. Use when drafting or reviewing a Node.js core commit or pull request, working in nodejs/node, or diagnosing C++ addons, binding.gyp failures, segfaults, native leaks, V8 deoptimizations, and event-loop internals.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'nodejs-core' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'nodejs-core' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named nodejs-core already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mcollina/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c75d70dbfbe991d8cec42aeda0b64ff14fbb9ac7' -- 'skills/nodejs-core' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/nodejs-core' ~/.agents/skills/'nodejs-core' && 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/'nodejs-core' ~/.claude/skills/'nodejs-core' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
