- Runs Shell and PowerShell scripts from its folder
What it does
This skill writes every skill into one common agents directory that Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Augment, Roo Code, OpenCode, and OpenHands all read, and only writes a client-specific symlink or Windows junction for the handful of hosts that still need their own directory, never both for the same skill.
It resolves a source skill from a name, a relative or absolute path, a collection directory, or the skill just discussed in the current conversation, then relies on its own bundled install script to create the links rather than improvising commands on the spot. Every run also cleans up redundant links, stale aliases, and broken links left by removed sources, without deleting the source skill itself or overwriting a real directory it finds in the way.
When your agent uses it
- Installing a skill into every AI agent on a machine
- Syncing a skill collection across multiple coding agents
- Removing stale skill links after moving or renaming a skill
Example prompts
- “Install this skill into every agent I have set up.”
- “Sync my skills folder across Claude Code and Cursor.”
- “Uninstall the dbs-hook skill links from this machine.”
Requirements
- Bash on Unix-like systems, or PowerShell for the Windows junction script
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 删除公共入口兼容客户端专属目录中指向同一真源的冗余链接；
- 删除旧版脚本曾写入、当前已停止维护的宿主链接；
- 删除同一宿主中指向同一真源、且规范名称已经存在的旧别名；
- 集合安装时删除指向集合内已失效源目录的断裂链接和 Grok 适配层；
- 保留真实目录、真实文件以及指向其他来源的链接，并报告冲突；
- 不删除源 Skill。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d3ed39. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell and PowerShell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cross-Agent Skill Installer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 249 words (~1,089 tokens).
