Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By portolan-sdi/portolan-skills (GitHub) · coding · 13 stars · scanned at commit 1714d9a

Create, maintain, or contribute to a Portolan catalog whose metadata is stored in a git repository, with CI that validates each change. Use when someone wants to publish a catalog they can roll back and take pull requests on, or wants to fix metadata in someone else's catalog.

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/'git-backed-catalog' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'git-backed-catalog' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named git-backed-catalog already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/portolan-sdi/portolan-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1714d9ab672e6a1bbc56ca12458e41b14484d426' -- 'skills/git-backed-catalog' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/git-backed-catalog' ~/.agents/skills/'git-backed-catalog' && 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/'git-backed-catalog' ~/.claude/skills/'git-backed-catalog' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
