Install
Each tab says whether it installs commit 0590eb8, the one we checked, or the latest version.
No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie, Amp and Antigravity, and Claude Code for Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

Or install the engram plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

Codex, Cursor, Copilot, VS Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Goose, Amp and Zed all read .agents/skills; Claude Code and Kiro list only their own folders.

npx skills@1.7.4 add nagisanzenin/engram --skill coachWhat it can touch
From the files and frontmatter at commit 0590eb8. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
What it can touch: Shell, network or credentials
Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.
Reaches the network
It sends or fetches data over the internet, for example with curl, an HTTP library or a package install.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 0590eb8 · 27 Oct 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 0590eb8 on 27 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.
Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Warning
The frontmatter uses [ ] or { } values. Most agents accept them, but the spec's validator (skills-ref) rejects the file. F4
Fix: Write lists as "- item" lines and maps as indented key: value lines, without anchors or tags.
- Warning
Fields outside the spec: argument-hint (read by Claude Code and VS Code). Uploads to the Claude apps and API, and the spec's validator, reject the file; most agents ignore these fields. O1
Fix: Delete them for a portable skill, or keep them if you only target the agents that read them.
- Warning
The body is about 9,868 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Warning
Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 311: ../../CONTRIBUTING-DATA.md (outside the skill folder). B6
Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Warning
Claude CodePasses with warnings
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Warning
Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 311: ../../CONTRIBUTING-DATA.md (outside the skill folder). B6
Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
- Note
The body is about 9,868 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. After compaction Claude Code keeps only the first 5,000 tokens of a skill. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Warning
Claude apps & API uploadFails
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Error
Upload and packaging fail on fields outside the spec: argument-hint. O1
Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.
- Warning
Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 311: ../../CONTRIBUTING-DATA.md (outside the skill folder). B6
Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
- Note
The description is 242 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
The body is about 9,868 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Error
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Warning
Fields outside the spec: argument-hint. Codex ignores them; OpenAI doesn't say whether its upload accepts them. O1
Fix: Delete them, or move your own data under metadata as text values.
- Warning
Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 311: ../../CONTRIBUTING-DATA.md (outside the skill folder). B6
Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
- Warning
VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings
VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.
- Warning
Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 311: ../../CONTRIBUTING-DATA.md (outside the skill folder). B6
Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
