What problem does it solve? Installing third-party skills often fails due to slow clones, non-standard repositories, missing SKILL.md files, or named skills that cannot be found, wasting time on retries. This Skill provides a decision workflow that attempts fast installs first and falls back to synthesizing a valid local Codex skill from available documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Install with Time Budgets: Runs official install commands like npx skills add, but stops after defined timeouts instead of retrying failed clones endlessly. - Lightweight Source Inspection: Uses GitHub API, README files, package metadata, and exact SKILL.md paths to locate skills without full repository clones. - Local Skill Synthesis: Generates a valid Codex skill with proper frontmatter, workflow instructions, and optional references when the upstream source is unusable. - Use Case: A user shares a GitHub repository URL whose clone keeps timing out; the Skill inspects the README via the API, then creates a local skill capturing the described behavior and reports the result. ## Quick Start Install the skill from this GitHub repository, and if the install fails or stalls, create a local Codex skill from its README and documentation.
