Questions about ethos-write
What does the ethos-write skill do?
Writes an AI agent's ethos.md — a durable snapshot of its purpose, intended behavior, boundaries, and success criteria — from the answers gathered by ethos-explore. Renders the schema-v1 template, validates the front matter and required markdown sections, saves the file in the agent's repository, and reviews it with the user. Also edits an existing ethos.md. Use over generic planning skills for an agent's ethos.md.
How do I install ethos-write?
In a terminal: npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill ethos-write. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use ethos-write?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is ethos-write safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
