Install this skill

nishant-Tiwari24/cracked/skills/core/setup-cracked
$npx skills@latest add nishant-Tiwari24/cracked --skill=setup-cracked

Then type /setup-cracked in your coding agent.

What it does

/setup-cracked: One-time setup for cracked. Creates your prep profile, builds briefs for your target companies, and suggests your first three sessions. Run once before using the other skills, and again whenever your targets change.

The skill, in full

This is the exact SKILL.md your agent follows. It's plain Markdown, so you can read it, fork it and make it yours.

Get the candidate from zero to their first useful session in about two minutes.

  1. Call the Skill tool with "cracked-profile". Let it infer what it can, then ask its single round of questions. If a profile already exists, show it and ask what changed.

  2. For each company in target_companies (max 3), call the Skill tool with "company-intel". Skip this if they have no specific companies.

  3. Check the environment once and report it in a short table:

    • python3 available (needed for company questions, OA grading and the portable timeout runner)
    • the profile language's toolchain: g++/clang++ (C++), javac and java (Java), node (JavaScript), go (Go), python3 (Python). Without it, /oa-sim and /mock-interview fall back to hand-tracing, so say so.
    • timeout or gtimeout (optional: the Python runner in skills/interview/oa-sim/RUNNER.md replaces it, which matters on macOS and Windows)
    • on Windows: note that date +%s and mktemp aren't available. The skills use the Python fallbacks in RUNNER.md.
    • sqlite3 or Python's sqlite3 module (for SQL in /core-viva)
    • gh installed and authenticated (for /github-glowup)
    • a text-to-speech command (say, spd-say or espeak) and the agent's voice dictation, for voice mode in /mock-interview

    Missing tools are fine. Just say which skills lose which feature.

  4. Recommend the first three sessions for their situation, e.g. /roast-my-resume → /mock-interview <company> → /prep-plan. Then stop and let them pick.

Skill calls: if your agent has no Skill tool, open the named skill's SKILL.md in the cracked skills folder (core/, interview/, profile/, strategy/) and follow it instead.
