Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Generate and improve accessible alt text for data visualizations and images in R packages and Quarto documents. Use when the user wants to add, improve, or audit alt text for figures in a pkgdown site or .qmd files. Activate for requests that mention fig-alt, fig.alt, figure descriptions, or alt text in the context of an R package or Quarto document.

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/'alt-text' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alt-text' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alt-text already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/posit-dev/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '951959403f4ecc9d0274adf35538fc67153b6f31' -- 'alt-text' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'alt-text' ~/.agents/skills/'alt-text' && 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/'alt-text' ~/.claude/skills/'alt-text' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
