$ npx skills add harunkurtdev/ros2-claude-code-template --skill gz-build -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install harunkurtdev/ros2-claude-code-template gz-build --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/harunkurtdev/ros2-claude-code-template.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/gz-build .claude/skills/gz-build && rm -rf skills-src

At a glance

Configure and build gz-sim from source using either CMake/Ninja directly or a colcon workspace.

  • Works in 2 steps: Direct CMake (single repo) → colcon workspace (Gazebo source build)
  • The user asks to build
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Direct CMake (single repo), 2. colcon workspace (Gazebo…, Bazel (alternative) and After building, plus 1 more section
  • Calls cmake and bazel

What it does

Gz Build is an agent skill from harunkurtdev/ros2-claude-code-template. Configure and build gz-sim from source using either CMake/Ninja directly or a colcon workspace. Trigger when the user asks to build, recompile, configure, or set up the gz-sim binary tree.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with C++.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to build
  • Set up the gz-sim binary tree

Example prompts

  • “/gz-build”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Direct CMake (single repo)
  2. colcon workspace (Gazebo source build)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b3a43d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cmake
    • bazel

    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

Gz Build loads about 641 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~641

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 195 words (~641 tokens).

“gz-sim follows the Gazebo project's standard build process. Two equally valid front-ends exist; pick based on what the user already has set up.”
