Is the Agent Copy skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from shane9coy/Agent-Skill-Architecture-Guide. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Agent Copy SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Agent Copy?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Agent Copy with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

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.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 3d7fd70

Ran the full workflow against a throwaway repo with HOME pointed at a fake canonical source: the skill's own `head | cmp` verification step confirmed a byte-exact preamble copy, something a baseline unguided rewrite got wrong by paraphrasing the source instructions instead of copying them.

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

What Agent Copy does

Copies a canonical global agent-instruction file (default $HOME/.codex/AGENTS.md) verbatim into a repo-root AGENTS.md, then appends a fixed-template repo-specific guide populated from README/package manifests/git state, marking unknowns as TBD rather than inventing them. Triggers when a user asks to copy, install, refresh, or update a repo's AGENTS.md from their canonical instruction source, or says "agent copy".

How to install Agent Copy

git clone https://github.com/shane9coy/Agent-Skill-Architecture-Guide.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r Agent-Skill-Architecture-Guide/skills/agent-copy ~/.claude/skills/agent-copy

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Agent Copy

/agent-copy Byte-verified copy of your canonical AGENTS.md into a repo, plus a structured repo-specific tail

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Refresh this repo's AGENTS.md from my canonical instruction file.
Install my standard agent instructions into this new project, verbatim.
Update AGENTS.md here so it matches my global Codex instructions exactly.
