Each tab says whether it installs commit 931b13e, 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.

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make skill-verify.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&
  git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/nyldn/claude-octopus.git "$tmp" &&
  git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 931b13e20393e7bb3d4b178e6d6ac97c959e8df0 &&

  git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 931b13e20393e7bb3d4b178e6d6ac97c959e8df0 &&
  out="$(mktemp -d)" &&
  cp -R "$tmp"/skills/skill-verify "$out"/skill-verify &&
  (cd "$out" && zip -qr - skill-verify) > skill-verify.zip &&
  rm -rf "$tmp" "$out"

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose skill-verify.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

In a running Copilot CLI session, run /skills reload.

Or install it with gh skill, which also installs the commit we checked. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90 or later.

gh skill install nyldn/claude-octopus skills/skill-verify/SKILL.md@931b13e20393e7bb3d4b178e6d6ac97c959e8df0 --agent github-copilot --scope project

Gemini CLI docs

Pinned to commit 931b13e, the one we checked.

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.

From your project's root folder:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&
  git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/nyldn/claude-octopus.git "$tmp" &&
  git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 931b13e20393e7bb3d4b178e6d6ac97c959e8df0 &&
  git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- skills/skill-verify &&
  git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 931b13e20393e7bb3d4b178e6d6ac97c959e8df0 &&
  mkdir -p .agents/skills &&
  mkdir .agents/skills/skill-verify &&
  cp -R "$tmp"/skills/skill-verify/. .agents/skills/skill-verify/ &&
  rm -rf "$tmp"

Or use the skills CLI from skills.sh. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. The skills CLI reports installs to skills.sh unless you set DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1.

Agent Skills docs

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit 931b13e. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

What it can touch: Scripts or outside hosts

Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 931b13e · 27 Oct 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 931b13e 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.

How the check works Report an incorrect finding

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
  Fields outside the spec: disable-model-invocation (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.
- 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.
Claude CodePasses
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: disable-model-invocation. O1
  Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.
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: disable-model-invocation. 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.
VS Code & CopilotPasses
