Query and explore the 2600: The Hacker Quarterly magazine archive (1984-present) via DuckDB. Provides structured access to 168+ issues covering hacker culture, security, privacy, telephony, and digital rights without loading full content into context.

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/'2600-magazine' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'2600-magazine' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named 2600-magazine already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/plurigrid/asi' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '293ce9f76e3abcd5ba18db284688bc0d9ac6691d' -- 'skills/2600-magazine' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/2600-magazine' ~/.agents/skills/'2600-magazine' && 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/'2600-magazine' ~/.claude/skills/'2600-magazine' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
