Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · writing · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when writing a new skill for an AI agent. Covers scoping, description writing for reliable triggering, progressive disclosure, and the difference between a skill and a prompt. Trigger on "write a skill for", "turn this prompt into a skill", "create a skill.md", "how do i write a skill description". Do not use for auditing an existing skill or library — see the skill-review skill; for workflows the user invokes by name, see the slash-commands skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-authoring already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/agent-tooling/skill-authoring' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/agent-tooling/skill-authoring' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' && 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/'skill-authoring' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-authoring' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
