initialize

57 / 100 · Review before installing

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

Install the base skills every agent should have, globally and in one command - /initialize itself (so it can be rerun), skill-manager, /show-me, /grill-me, /wait-what, /connect-tool and /use-style, all from this kit - plus the settings that stop Claude Code and Codex from asking before each action, the cc / cx shortcuts, the usage band above the prompt in the Claude desktop app and the terminal status bar (context, cost, 5-hour and weekly limits), then asks the user which visual style they like…

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/'initialize' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'initialize' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named initialize already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6a0180aa7d89c7b572ecc7cbc47ed1d42a6ead62' -- 'skills/initialize' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/initialize' ~/.agents/skills/'initialize' && 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/'initialize' ~/.claude/skills/'initialize' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
