Fine to try.

By oaustegard/claude-skills (GitHub) · design · 158 stars · scanned at commit 487272b

Disciplined, validation-gated revision of an EXISTING skill so each edit is a measured improvement rather than a guess. Use when editing, revising, or tuning a skill that already exists and there is evidence it underperforms (observed failures, drift, complaints) — invoke by name, or have versioning-skills / creating-skill defer to it before applying edits. Not for authoring a brand-new skill from scratch (use creating-skill) or one-off prose.

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/'optimizing-skills' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'optimizing-skills' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named optimizing-skills already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/oaustegard/claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '487272b6d1d9a2c5248d9adfa2d7765f8ca2b6af' -- 'optimizing-skills' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'optimizing-skills' ~/.agents/skills/'optimizing-skills' && 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/'optimizing-skills' ~/.claude/skills/'optimizing-skills' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
