Install once, use everywhere (one line)
Copy the skill folder into ~/.agents/skills, which Codex reads and Cursor and Gemini CLI also read, then symlink it into ~/.claude/skills for Claude Code:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git /tmp/anthropic-skills \
&& mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills ~/.claude/skills \
&& cp -R /tmp/anthropic-skills/skills/pdf ~/.agents/skills/ \
&& ln -sfn ~/.agents/skills/pdf ~/.claude/skills/pdfThe folder contains: SKILL.md, forms.md, reference.md, scripts/. Skills with scripts/ run code on your machine, so read them first. We don't copy the skill's content here; read it at the source.
Check a SKILL.md before you install it
Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded. It checks the frontmatter (name, description length) and flags hidden HTML comments, remote URLs, shell commands and referenced scripts so you know what to review.
