Does Alive Capture Context work with Claude Code?

It is in our test queue — we run every skill on real work before issuing a verdict, and this one is scheduled.

How do I install Alive Capture Context?

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 Alive Capture Context 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.

What Alive Capture Context does

Use when external content arrives in the session — emails, transcripts, screenshots, documents, files, or in-session research worth keeping. Also use when there's nothing obvious to capture — the skill checks 03_Inbox/ for unrouted files and enters inbox scan mode. Stores raw content, routes to bundles, extracts tasks and insights into the stash.
