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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/adapt-skill@sha256:8bd783b02dfe1fccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.85bc17a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
