What is the Agent Style 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 Style?

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 Style 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 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · bf1a541

Ran its 3-step install-check against a planted project missing references/RULES.md and still pointing style-review at the old .agent-style/ path — it flagged both real gaps that a plain 'looks installed' glance missed entirely.

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

What Agent Style does

Bundles the pinned agent-style v0.3.5 rule pack (rules, upstream pin, detector notes) inside .claude/skills so it travels with SDD apply/sync, and offers an install-check to verify a target project has the rules plus a properly migrated style-review workflow. Triggers on installing, syncing, or auditing SDD Agent-Style support.
