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

A check whose pass condition is an ABSENCE certifies a run that never happened. Restate it as a specific PRESENCE - and an empty result is a broken instrument, never a clean run. Use when the task involves: verify, prove it, sweep, grep returned nothing, zero hits, clean run, it passed, no defects, reviewed, delivered, double check, how do we know.

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/'checks-that-fail-open' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'checks-that-fail-open' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named checks-that-fail-open already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/thefrederiksen/devthrottle' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6463c4e55530306d9a1421e8c6a61c0c48f94889' -- 'plugins/agent-discipline/skills/checks-that-fail-open' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/agent-discipline/skills/checks-that-fail-open' ~/.agents/skills/'checks-that-fail-open' && 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/'checks-that-fail-open' ~/.claude/skills/'checks-that-fail-open' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
