proc-cli from yazeed/proc-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Finds, inspects and stops processes and ports with the proc CLI (macOS, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD) under a safety protocol: preview, show the user, then act by PID. Use when a port is busy or in use (EADDRINUSE, "address already in use") and needs freeing, to see what listens on a port, runs from a directory or holds a file, to kill a process or stop, free a port, pause, resume or wait for one, to clean up the dev servers and headless browsers an agent started, or to look into a slow…
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
# proc: find and stop processes and ports without hitting the wrong one proc finds what is on a port, frees a port in use, and kills or stops a process, targeting it by port, PID, name, file or directory. It can kill, stop and freeze processes, so the risk is acting on one that is not yours. Read the safety model before any command that changes a process. Run `proc --version`. This skill is for proc 2.0 or later. If it prints a version below 2.0, or a command here exits 4 with "unexpected argument", stop: run read-only commands only, and tell the user that on their version `--json` alone acts without `--yes`, names match any part of a command line, and several targets need commas, so you will run nothing that changes a process until they upgrade. Never run a changing command with `--json` there unless it also has `--dry-run`. If proc is missing, ask the user before installing: `brew install yazeed/proc/proc`, `cargo install proc-cli` or `npm install -g proc-cli` (the last two on Windows too). https://proc-cli.com/install lists the other ways, by system: Scoop, apt, dnf, pip and more. ## Safety model | Class | Commands | What to do | |-------|----------|------------| …

How to install
mdr add yazeed/proc-cli/proc-cli@sha256:53823b388ee9e4acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.731825b, 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.
