Fetched the SKILL.md raw from the repo; the connect-apps dir contains only SKILL.md, no scripts. Frontmatter parses cleanly with name+description (plus an id field). The body's only "install" instructions are external plugin commands (/plugin install composio-toolrouter, /composio-toolrouter:setup) that pull in Composio's Tool Router MCP and require a free platform.composio.dev API key and per-app OAuth — I could not run any of these, so no skill artifact could be produced or compared to a baseline. No security smells beyond utm-tagged marketing badges; note the plugin, once set up, gets broad send/post/create permissions in the user's real accounts. Trigger description is action-oriented and clean: I would load it for "send an email to my teammate", "create a GitHub issue for the login bug", "post to Slack #general that the release shipped", and would NOT load it for "draft an email text I'll send myself later" or "write a Python function to connect to PostgreSQL" (5/5).

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 4/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Connect Apps does

A thin pointer skill that tells Claude to install the external Composio Tool Router plugin so it can take real actions in external apps (send Gmail, create GitHub issues, post to Slack, write to Notion) instead of only generating text. It triggers when the user asks Claude to actually perform an action in a connected service. All functionality lives in the third-party plugin and requires a free composio.dev API key plus per-app OAuth.

How to install Connect Apps

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill.git /tmp/connect-apps-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/connect-apps-src/SkillBank/Common/AwesomeClaudeSkills/connect-apps ~/.claude/skills/connect-apps
# The SKILL.md is only a pointer. Actual functionality requires the external plugin:
#   /plugin install composio-toolrouter
#   /composio-toolrouter:setup   (asks for a free API key from https://platform.composio.dev)
# Then restart Claude Code. Each target app also needs one-time OAuth authorization.
# None of these external steps could be executed or verified in this test environment.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

How do I install Connect Apps?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Connect Apps with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
