System Requirements
OS: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, or compatible Architecture: x64 (recommended), ARM64
Upstream passage · L68 ↗⚠️ CRITICAL #3: Qt5 Dependencies
Problem: SDK requires Qt5 libraries (bundled, NOT system Qt5). See: Qt Dependencies

No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
