What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
avoid-overkill
Keep engineering and academic writing proportional, evidence-grounded, and centered on the intended outcome. Use for coding, tests, ML experiments, technical reviews, papers, rebuttals, and paper sections when Codex may add speculative checks, fallbacks, abstractions, scope creep, defensive qualifications, self-weakening claims, work-log narration, literal translations, or AI-styled prose.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
