absorb-upstream

75 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

An outside source (a GitHub repository or one web page or post) absorbed into a tracked docs/upstream record: per idea, what it does, the problem behind it upstream and here, and a take, adapt, already-have or reject disposition. Use when the user asks to absorb an upstream repository or post, decide what to borrow from it, or write a docs/upstream record for it. A docs page digested into the knowledge base goes to /knowledge:docpage-digest.

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/'absorb-upstream' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'absorb-upstream' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named absorb-upstream already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/knowledge/skills/absorb-upstream' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/knowledge/skills/absorb-upstream' ~/.agents/skills/'absorb-upstream' && 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/'absorb-upstream' ~/.claude/skills/'absorb-upstream' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
