Are you able to open the link directly? It should be a public repo and the link works on my end.
Which platform are you using? What is your default web browser?
Looks like the commit 15 hours ago resolved this issue, as the link is no longer 404ing. Sorry for the noise!
The link https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.experimental is not working now.
Thanks for reporting. I've updated the skill description to remove the outdated link.
The https://github.com/openai/skills/blob/main/README.md refers to experimental link which is also broken. https://github.com/openai/skills/blob/main/skills/.experimental
Can you also share the actual link for experimental skill as well?
