dogfood-cli

80 / 100 · Low risk

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

By zernie/vigiles (GitHub) · coding · 15 stars · scanned at commit 1a1de50

Hunt for real bugs in the vigiles CLI/codebase with a parallel expert fan-out, then FIX them directly — source-trace each defect to file:line, add a regression test, commit per theme. Use when asked to dogfood vigiles, find/fix bugs across the CLI the source-traced way, or fan out agents to audit the tool on itself.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'dogfood-cli' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'dogfood-cli' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named dogfood-cli already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/zernie/vigiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1a1de50f62f5c1093a46455488dcf6e8157c6182' -- '.claude/skills/dogfood-cli' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/dogfood-cli' ~/.agents/skills/'dogfood-cli' && 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/'dogfood-cli' ~/.claude/skills/'dogfood-cli' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
