adapt-skill skillA

adapt-skill is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills: Adapt a skill written for another AI assistant (OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor) into a proper Amplifier SKILL.md. Use when the user wants to adapt a skill, port a skill, convert a skill to amplifier, translate a skill, or has a SKILL.md from another platform they want to bring into Amplifier..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Adapt Skill

Adapt a skill from another AI coding assistant into a properly structured
Amplifier SKILL.md. The output must conform to the Agent Skills specification
with Amplifier extensions and be immediately usable via `/skill-name`.

## Inputs

- `$ARGUMENTS`: (Optional) Path to the source skill file or description of
  what to adapt. Also accepts a skill directory, plugin directory, or plugin cache
  for a batch migration. The requested destination and host are part of the input.

Honor decisions already authorized in the conversation. For an explicit batch
port, report the proposed mapping and proceed with routine reversible work;
ask only about unresolved scope, rights, or consequential capability changes.
Do not require repeated approval of every file. Keep source packages unchanged.

## Steps

### 1. Consult Skills-Assist

Before writing any skill content, load the authoritative skills reference:

```
load_skill("skills-assist")
```

Ask skills-assist about:
- Current frontmatter field reference and best practices
- Fork vs inline decision criteria
- Step annotation conventions
- Testing patterns for the type of skill being created
…
