$ npx skills add pytorch/executorch --skill setup -a claude-code

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

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install pytorch/executorch setup --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/pytorch/executorch.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/setup .claude/skills/setup && rm -rf skills-src

At a glance

Set up ExecuTorch development environment. An agent skill from pytorch/executorch.

  • Works in 3 steps: Activate conda: conda activate executorch → Install executorch:… → (Optional) For Huggingface integration
  • Installing dependencies
  • Calls conda and pip; reaches github.com
  • Setting up conda environments

What it does

Setup is an agent skill from pytorch/executorch. Set up ExecuTorch development environment. Use when installing dependencies, setting up conda environments, or preparing to develop with ExecuTorch.

Its SKILL.md is about 140 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: On-device AI across mobile, embedded and edge for PyTorch.

When your agent uses it

  • Installing dependencies
  • Setting up conda environments
  • Preparing to develop with ExecuTorch

Example prompts

  • “/setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Activate conda: conda activate executorch
  2. Install executorch: ./install_executorch.sh
  3. (Optional) For Huggingface integration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 852b1ff. 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:

    • conda
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Setup loads about 142 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 33 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~142

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 33 words (~142 tokens).

Can I use Setup in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pytorch/executorch --skill setup -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/setup, .gemini/skills/setup, .github/skills/setup and .opencode/skills/setup in your project.

What does Setup need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Setup needs the command-line tools its instructions call (conda and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker.

Does Setup access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Setup safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Setup use?

Setup has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Setup use?

About 142 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 568 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Setup?
