No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. OpenRaiser/NanoResearch/skills/vendor-ai-research/unsloth (opens in a new tab)
Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.
Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

Pattern check
Pattern check: 2 items to review · commit 584fd06 · 29 Oct 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 584fd06 on 29 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 worksReport an incorrect finding
Files we didn't read
- references/llms-full.md · larger than 384 KB
- references/llms-txt.md · larger than 384 KB
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: version, author, tags and dependencies. 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
The description doesn't say when to use the skill. D6
Fix: Add a sentence such as "Use when …" naming the requests or files that should trigger it.
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/index.md, references/llms-full.md and references/llms.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- Warning
Claude CodePasses
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Note
Claude Code ignores fields it doesn't know: version, author, tags and dependencies. O1
Fix: Check the spelling against Claude Code's field list, or delete them.
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/index.md, references/llms-full.md and references/llms.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- Note
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: version, author, tags and dependencies. O1
Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: references/index.md, references/llms-full.md and references/llms.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- 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: version, author, tags and dependencies. 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
VS Code & CopilotPasses
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.
- Note
VS Code ignores fields it doesn't support: version, author, tags and dependencies. O1
Fix: Delete them unless another agent you target reads them.
- Note
SKILL.md
Files
Copies
These share its SKILL.md or its name and description but not all its files, so we list them separately.
