Agent safety v2
Usable candidate, but the agent should surface permission and audit notes before installation.
Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.
medium
Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.
medium
Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.
Install targets
Copy the registry command or an agent-specific install prompt for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.
Use the registry command when your workflow supports the OpenAgentSkill installer.

Workflow fit
Build and ship code
I need a coding agent that can understand a repository, edit code, and review pull requests.
Parse messy files
I need my agent to read PDFs, extract tables, and turn documents into structured data.
Manage repositories
I need my agent to triage GitHub issues, review pull requests, and summarize repository changes.
Stack fit
Inspect, patch, and verify code
A stack for software agents that inspect repositories, review pull requests, generate tests, and turn findings into shippable patches.
Ingest, retrieve, and cite
A stack for document-heavy agents that ingest files, create searchable knowledge, retrieve relevant context, and answer with grounded sources.
Operate and verify web apps
A stack for agents that navigate products, fill forms, take screenshots, and verify real user flows across web applications.
Alternative shortlist
Similar skills in this category, ranked with the same readiness and quality signals.
A relentless interview that pressure-tests a plan against the codebase, sharpens domain language, and updates CONTEXT.md and ADRs when decisions become durable.
Review a branch or diff against repository standards and the originating spec in two independent analysis passes.
Turn the current conversation and codebase context into a structured implementation spec, then publish it to the configured project issue tracker.
Break a plan, spec, or conversation into independently actionable tracer-bullet tickets with explicit blocking relationships.

<p align="center"><sub><b>⚗️ Experimental (v0.22.0).</b> Under active development — not yet stable, but usable. Its effect is measured in the open (see <a href="evals/RESULTS.md">evals/RESULTS.md</a>); APIs and defaults may change.</sub></p>
> **Make your AI coding assistant trustworthy.** MasterMind is plain Markdown that gives Claude Code, > Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and any AGENTS.md tool sharp defaults, real engineering judgment, and the > discipline to **check its own work** — so you can rely on what it produces instead of watching every edit.
No app, no dependencies — just text that loads into your AI. **You don't learn any commands: you talk normally** ("build me X", "why is this slow?", "review this") and MasterMind applies the right discipline automatically. It **improves itself** over time, and it's **tool-agnostic** — one brain for every editor.

## Why it exists
Your AI already knows JavaScript, React, and algorithms. Re-teaching those wastes tokens. MasterMind adds only what's *missing* — the judgment and rigor that turn "looks right" into "verified":
- **Good defaults** — which tool/pattern to reach for, so it picks the best option, not the average one. - **A way to decide** — how to choose when there's no obvious default. - **A habit of checking** — verify the work end-to-

Most coding agents don't fail from lack of model power. They fail when repo context disappears. Mastermind gives coding agents a repeatable way to plan, patch, review, or ship. 12 stars https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/mehrad-dm-mastermind?ref=x #AIAgents
