How do I install the Overdrive skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add radustefandumitru/overdrive in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Overdrive skill do?

Use when the user asks about installing, updating, checking, or using Overdrive from Claude Code. This plugin is a thin helper; the full cross-agent skill system is installed by the Overdrive CLI. It is listed under AI & ML on SkillMD.

Is Overdrive safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Overdrive?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Overdrive free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

Overdrive Claude Helper

This plugin does not bundle the full Overdrive skill library. It helps Claude Code explain and invoke the full Overdrive CLI installer.

Use this when the user asks to:

install Overdrive
check whether Overdrive is installed
update Overdrive-managed skills
inspect ovd-workflow status
run Overdrive doctor/checkpoint/usage commands

Commands To Prefer

If the CLI is installed, prefer:

overdrive status --project-dir "$PWD"
overdrive doctor --project-dir "$PWD"
overdrive checkpoint --project-dir "$PWD"
overdrive usage --project-dir "$PWD"
overdrive check-updates

If overdrive is not on PATH, suggest one of the public install paths:

npx -y github:radustefandumitru/overdrive -- --dry-run
npx -y github:radustefandumitru/overdrive

Or from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/radustefandumitru/overdrive.git
cd overdrive
./install.sh --dry-run
./install.sh

Safety Rules

Start with --dry-run when the user is unsure.
Do not ask the user to paste secrets, API keys, OAuth tokens, MCP config, browser session state, or private database credentials.
The CLI installs and updates managed files only; unmarked user-owned skill folders are preserved unless the user explicitly chooses a destructive conflict policy.
For Claude Code, native /security-review remains preferred for security audits when available.
