Review a third-party skill
Third-party skills are installed by npx skills add <owner/repo> -s <name> as real directories under .agents/skills/<name>, linked from .claude/skills/<name>, and recorded in skills-lock.json at the workspace root. Committing one commits prose that will steer future sessions, so review it like code from a stranger.
Steps
- Find what is new:
git diff HEAD -- skills-lock.json, or every entry if the file is untracked. If the user names a skill, review only that one. - Read every file under
.agents/skills/<name>/in full. Short skills hide their dependencies in a single line. - Run the checks below.
- Report a verdict.
Checks
Dependencies. Everything the skill references must exist here.
- Other skills, whether Skill tool calls,
/nameinvocations, or "use the X skill": each must be present in.agents/skills/orskills/. A skill that only delegates to a missing sibling is not valid on its own. Fix:npx skills add <source> -s <missing>from the same source, or drop this one. - Files and scripts relative to the skill directory, and commands it expects on PATH.
- Anything that assumes an agent or runtime this workspace does not run.
