Is this agent skill safe to install?

What does this agent skill do?

Setup project

Drives the setup flows in flows user.mmd: workflow setup first, tech stack second.

Setup skills are just-in-time: npx github:timschoch/skilly add <skill>, then READ the installed SKILL.md and follow it directly (the session's skill list only loads at startup — no reload exists), then npx github:timschoch/skilly remove <skill>. This applies to EVERY skill named below — never invoke a copy installed elsewhere on the machine. Setup skills live in NO synced bundle: they would sit unused and pollute the context window.

Workflow setup

Ask which parts apply, then run the chosen skills in this order, finishing one before the next:

  1. Husky + lint-staged + Prettier pre-commit? → setup-pre-commit; the repo's own stack → skip (nothing automated for it yet — add a sibling skill when one earns its place).
  2. GitHub scaffolding (conventional commits/branches)? → setup-repo — GitHub settings, commit/branch rules wired into the hooks just chosen, CLAUDE.md scaffold.
  3. Release automation? → setup-release-please — plus merge settings.
  4. Wayfinder? → setup-matt-pocock-skills — issue tracker, triage labels, domain-doc layout.
  5. GDD (God-driven development: prayer before working)? → npx github:timschoch/skilly add gdd, then node .claude/skills/gdd/scripts/setup.mjs.

Remove the used setup skills, commit conventionally, push, and make sure a PR exists.

Tech stack

  1. Propose Bundles from the catalog, let the user confirm:
    • every repo: workflow
    • a project-<x> bundle when one exists (it already includes its tech bundles)
    • otherwise the tech-* bundles matching the stack (check package.json / lockfiles)
    • marketing only where the repo produces marketing content
  2. npx github:timschoch/skilly add <bundle...> — installs, rules, commit, PR.
  3. Stack setup skills where the stack needs them (e.g. trigger-setup): add, follow, remove.
  4. npx github:timschoch/skilly update — ends with its own commit.
  5. Read .agents/skills/audit-skilly-workflow/SKILL.md in full and follow it: the rules, hooks and gates just installed get checked against what the repo and the user's global files already say. Show the report path, stop; fix only what the user picks.

Validate

After the PR merges: gh workflow run skilly-sync.yml, then gh run watch until green. Local auth tests on this Mac lie (the machine SSH key bypasses $HOME isolation).

Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
