Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Remove repeated NuGet restores from multi-step .NET builds safely. USE FOR: build/test/publish steps that each restore, Directory.Build.rsp with -restore, safe restore suppression, NETSDK1004/NETSDK1047 after --no-restore. DO NOT USE FOR: slow first restore, only one restore, version or lock errors, unranked build slowness (use build-perf-baseline).

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/'eliminate-redundant-restores' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'eliminate-redundant-restores' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named eliminate-redundant-restores already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/microsoft/testfx' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8dd78e1347417e400c3ef8d786059a8bb346162f' -- '.agents/skills/eliminate-redundant-restores' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/eliminate-redundant-restores' ~/.agents/skills/'eliminate-redundant-restores' && 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/'eliminate-redundant-restores' ~/.claude/skills/'eliminate-redundant-restores' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
