cp -r rust-skills ~/.claude/skills/rust-skills # personal, or .claude/skills in a projectIn the Claude apps, zip the rust-skills folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).
ChatGPT / Codex
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/leonardomso/rust-skills.git
cp -r rust-skills .agents/skills/rust-skills # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projectsStandalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.
