Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add MoizIbnYousaf/ai-agent-skills --skill review-a-skillThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01

02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads review-a-skill when the request matches its description.

Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the review-a-skill skill”. In Codex, type $review-a-skill.
Review A Skill
Goal
Evaluate a single skill's quality, relevance, and safety before it enters or stays in a library.
Guardrails
- Always use
--format jsonfor machine-readable output in automated pipelines. - Always use
--fieldsto limit output size when inspecting catalog entries. - Always use
--dry-runbefore curating or removing a skill. - Never remove a skill without first checking if other skills depend on it via
info --format jsondependencies.
Workflow
- Preview the skill content to check for quality and safety.
npx ai-agent-skills preview <skill-name>
The preview command sanitizes content — if it flags sanitization, investigate before proceeding.
- Inspect the catalog entry for metadata completeness.
npx ai-agent-skills info <skill-name> --format json --fields name,description,tags,collections,dependencies
- Validate the skill's SKILL.md structure.
npx ai-agent-skills validate <skill-name>
- If the skill needs curation (notes, collections, verification):
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: solid patterns" --verify --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: solid patterns" --verify
- If the skill should be removed:
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --remove --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --remove --yes
Decision Criteria
- Keep: Clear description, valid frontmatter, useful to the library's audience, no injection patterns.
- Curate: Needs better whyHere, collection placement, or verification status.
- Remove: Duplicate, outdated, broken source, or contains suspicious content.
Gotchas
- The
previewcommand only works for vendored (house) skills. Upstream skills show description and whyHere only. - The
validatecommand checks frontmatter structure but not content quality — that requires human or agent judgment. - Removing a skill that other skills depend on will break the dependency graph. Always check
dependencies.usedByfirst.
Tips for Review A Skill
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It is part of a pack with 18 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
