Ran a real create->corrupt->repair cycle: `par2j64.exe` (as literally documented) is 'command not found' on Mac, but swapping in Homebrew's `par2` with the exact same flags the skill teaches (-r10, -r100, c/v/r) worked end-to-end, and the skill's own redundancy-tier and troubleshooting guidance correctly predicted and then fixed an under-redundancy repair failure I hit mid-test.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Multipar CLI does
A 900-line reference for MultiPar's par2j64.exe: creating PAR2 recovery files, verifying/repairing damaged archives, redundancy-percentage planning, and troubleshooting. Triggers on multipar/par2/parity-archive/data-recovery language. Windows-only binary by design; Mac/Linux users must substitute the par2cmdline 'par2' binary (same flag syntax, different binary name) themselves — not spelled out in the doc.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Help me create PAR2 recovery files for my backup archive -
My archive got corrupted, how do I repair it with PAR2 redundancy? -
What redundancy percentage should I use for a 5GB backup with par2?
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Multipar CLI skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from DoiiarX/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Multipar CLI work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Ran a real create->corrupt->repair cycle: `par2j64.exe` (as literally documented) is 'command not found' on Mac, but swapping in Homebrew's `par2` with the exact same flags the skill teaches (-r10, -r100, c/v/r) worked end-to-end, and the skill's own redundancy-tier and troubleshooting guidance correctly predicted and then fixed an under-redundancy repair failure I hit mid-test.
- What is the Multipar CLI SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Multipar CLI?
- 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 Multipar CLI 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.
