Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 3027f20, 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.

Pinned to commit 3027f20, the one we checked.

From your project's root folder:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&
  git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/softaworks/agent-toolkit.git "$tmp" &&
  git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 3027f20f3181758385a1bb8c022d4041dfb4de84 &&
  git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- skills/codex &&
  git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 3027f20f3181758385a1bb8c022d4041dfb4de84 &&
  mkdir -p .claude/skills &&
  mkdir .claude/skills/codex &&
  cp -R "$tmp"/skills/codex/. .claude/skills/codex/ &&
  rm -rf "$tmp"

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit 3027f20. 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.

  • Names web addresses

    It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.

  • Changes agent settings

    It writes to agent memory or settings files such as CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or .claude/settings.json.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 3027f20 · 27 Oct 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 3027f20 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

    The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.

    • 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 uploadPasses

    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.

    • Note

      The description is 214 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.
