Only if you trust the author. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By mikeyobrien/rho (GitHub) · coding · 378 stars · scanned at commit 073a3ee
Install and configure Rho from scratch (Doom-style init.toml + sync). Only prereq: a coding agent that can run shell commands.
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/'install-rho' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'install-rho' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named install-rho already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mikeyobrien/rho' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '073a3ee8a5dc0efd5dd32d773a760575ed38abc7' -- '.' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d/." ~/.agents/skills/'install-rho' && rm -rf ~/.agents/skills/'install-rho'/.git && 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/'install-rho' ~/.claude/skills/'install-rho' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
