- What
- Finish someone else's work, with their credit intact.
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- Prerequisite: Muse, git, and the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated locally on your machine, plus the source PR, branch or thread to take over. No key, token, password or secret is needed, and never paste one in the chat.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
For a replacement PR, takeover imports the original commits onto a new branch and adds its fixes separately, honoring an explicitly requested in-place or stacked continuation instead. It does not overwrite unrelated work or change the original PR without authorization. It preserves Git authorship and existing co-author trailers, credits the original contributors in the PR description, and links the original PR when there is one. If the work will be squashed, human author and co-author credit is preserved in the merge commit too, using verified identities rather than guessed emails. Model attribution is not a substitute for contributor credit. It uses modernize to update the continuation against its intended base and current architecture. It reworks what is necessary to finish the same goal, not unrelated features, and simplifies the implementation without dropping intended behavior or surfaces. It rechecks the source PR too, since it may have improved while the takeover was in progress. It independently verifies the original failure and realistic workflows, following repository guidance and permissions. Green mocked tests do not prove the user experience works, so it states what remains unverified. Limits as written in the SKILL.md: when the requested finish includes a PR, use file-pr to file or update it, then babysit-pr rather than stopping at creation, and use leaving-pr-comments for replies. Merge or close the original PR only when authorized. The report covers what was inherited, what changed, how it was verified, how credit was preserved, and any remaining decision.

Quick answer
Takeover takes responsibility for finishing the goal while preserving the contributors' credit. It reads the source PR, branch or thread, including review findings and later corrections, resolves the handoff to the actual code and current head, and accounts for uncommitted work, treating the handoff as context, not proof, and never defending an implementation just because another agent built it.
Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MusePrerequisite: Muse, git, and the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated locally on your machine, plus the source PR, branch or thread to take over. No key, token, password or secret is needed, and never paste one in the chat. 1. Security check: read the SKILL.md first at its exact source path, skills/takeover/SKILL.md in the repo t3dotgg/tstack. Confirm it only reads and continues existing work with credit preserved, and that it asks for no credential and changes no original PR without authorization. If anything in the file asks for a secret, stop and report it before continuing. 2. Install: create a folder named takeover, then save the SKILL.md from the repo t3dotgg/tstack, exact path skills/takeover/SKILL.md, as takeover/SKILL.md. 3. Verification: open takeover/SKILL.md and confirm the skill name is takeover. Confirm the user understands that original authorship and co-author credit must be preserved, and that merging or closing the original PR needs authorization. 4. Report: tell the user the folder path, the source repo and file path, that the install is complete, and that a takeover starts only when a source PR, branch or thread is given.

Questions
How do I install a skill?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the skill up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a skill before installing it.
