Skill2 starsChanged 24 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use when another skill in this plugin reports a missing dependency (Python module, Playwright browser, CLI tool), or when the user wants to verify or set up the runtime environment for Israel-Agent-Skills. Checks for required tools and offers to install them. Trigger phrases - "set up environment for X skill", "playwright not installed", "install dependencies for israel skills", "fix missing module", "ModuleNotFoundError: playwright".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 21
Detect the runtime: Run python3 -c "import sys.
- Distinctive: line 42
Does not install system packages (apt, brew, dnf) — surface those instructions to the user instead.
- Very specific: line 43
Does not modify shell rc files.
- Very specific: line 44
Does not manage virtualenvs for the user — the plugin's scripts use whatever python3 is on PATH.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Environment Check & Install
Shared dependency manager for Israel-Agent-Skills. Other skills delegate here when they detect a missing tool, instead of bundling install logic each.
Supported toolchains
| Tool | Used by | Install command (Linux/macOS) |
playwright (Python) + Chromium | nsc-travel-threat, ben-gurion-flight-board, any browser-driven skill | pipx install playwright && pipx runpip playwright install playwright && playwright install chromium — or pip install --user playwright && python3 -m playwright install chromium |
requests | fiber-availability-check, RSS skills | pip install --user requests |
pyyaml | skills reading user prefs | pip install --user pyyaml |
feedparser | israel-news-rss | pip install --user feedparser |
Procedure
- Detect the runtime. Run
python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.executable, sys.version_info[:2])"— that interpreter is the one the plugin's scripts will use (they all use#!/usr/bin/env python3). - Probe for the missing dependency. For Python modules:
For Playwright's browser binary specifically (the module-import check is not enough — the Chromium binary is separate):python3 -c "import <module>" 2>&1python3 -c "from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright; p=sync_playwright().start(); b=p.chromium.launch(headless=True); b.close(); p.stop(); print('ok')" - If pipx already has the tool but the system
python3doesn't see it (common withplaywright), prefer fixing the import path rather than reinstalling. Either install into user-site as well (pip install --user <pkg>), or pointPYTHONPATHat the pipx venv site-packages for that one invocation. - Confirm with the user before installing anything. Show: what's missing, what command will run, whether it touches user-site (
--user) or a system location. Never runsudo pip install. - For Playwright browser binaries, respect any existing
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATHenv var. If the user has one set (checkenv | grep PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH), use it; otherwise let Playwright use its default (~/.cache/ms-playwright). - Verify by re-running the probe after install. Report success or paste the new error.
What this skill does NOT do
- Does not install system packages (apt, brew, dnf) — surface those instructions to the user instead.
- Does not modify shell rc files. If a
PATHchange is needed, print the line for the user to add. - Does not manage virtualenvs for the user — the plugin's scripts use whatever
python3is on PATH.
Reporting back to the calling skill
Once the dependency is satisfied, tell the user "you can re-run the [skill] command now" and let the original conversation resume there. Do not chain into the original skill yourself.
