The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works

⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 14, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.

Ran its own 'self-hosted bookmark manager, solo Python dev' scenario with live GitHub searches; it surfaced linkding (10.8k stars, pushed hours before this test) and Linkwarden (18.9k stars, heavier stack) as comparables — the exact two projects the repo's own bundled example names as the expected output, confirming the skill behaves as documented rather than just reading well.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Advise Project Approach does

Runs a structured research loop before recommending a stack, architecture, or fix: frames the project, inspects any existing repo, finds real comparable open-source projects with dates and star counts, checks operating costs, and outputs a tradeoff-driven build or review plan. Triggers on pre-build strategy, mid-build course correction, or post-build review requests; explicitly skips narrow single-bug debugging or isolated file edits.
