Launch Positron dev server in an isolated, disposable profile and control the Electron workbench. Use to reproduce UI bugs, verify UI changes, inspect the DOM, take screenshots, interact with the workbench, or attach a debugger without first writing an end-to-end test. Do not use to provide a persistent app instance for a person; use the launch-positron command for that. Only runs when a person invokes it explicitly.
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/'drive-positron' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'drive-positron' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named drive-positron already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/posit-dev/positron' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '5d355d4cbe7e46087286c0d17f277c0d82fd2593' -- '.claude/skills/drive-positron' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/drive-positron' ~/.agents/skills/'drive-positron' && 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/'drive-positron' ~/.claude/skills/'drive-positron' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
