⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 18, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Copy-install works and the interactive 7-question intake runs, but this is only the front door of a four-skill system: the signature S0-S3 tier step reads shared-references/role-tiers.md and Phase 3 reads templates/skill-state.template.json, both living two levels ABOVE the skill dir (../../), so a single-dir catalog install leaves them unreachable and those steps silently degrade to plain questions. The repo's own install.sh instead symlinks the whole skills/ folder to keep the shared refs resolvable. The real differentiator the README sells, BOSS Zhipin live recruiting data, is behind a QR-code login, region wall and human-in-the-loop scraper, so no output delta over a plain career-intake baseline could be measured.
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 3/5
What Skill Init does
Front-end onboarding step for the cheat-on-skill career toolkit. Runs a 7-question capability inventory, classifies the user into a starting tier (S0-S3), applies an anti-scam framing, and writes a persistent .skill-state.json consumed by the downstream skill-scan/skill-plan skills. Triggers on Chinese career-transition phrasings like 能力盘点, 我想转AI相关工作, 找AI时代高薪工作.
How to install Skill Init
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Skill Init skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from XBuilderLAB/cheat-on-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Skill Init work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 18, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass. Copy-install works and the interactive 7-question intake runs, but this is only the front door of a four-skill system: the signature S0-S3 tier step reads shared-references/role-tiers.md and Phase 3 reads templates/skill-state.template.json, both living two levels ABOVE the skill dir (../../), so a single-dir catalog install leaves them unreachable and those steps silently degrade to plain questions.

- How do I install Skill Init?
- 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 Skill Init 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.
