Is the Cix Workspace skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from dvcdsys/code-index. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Cix Workspace SkillProof Score?

8.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Cix Workspace?

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 Cix Workspace 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: Works with setup
Score: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · e6376ca

The skill's own README admits the bundled cix-workspace-investigator sub-agent must be copied to ~/.claude/agents/ separately from the skill folder -- a straight `cp -r skills/cix-workspace ~/.claude/skills/` silently loses the parallel fan-out feature, and using the skill at all first requires standing up a self-hosted cix-server (Docker/Go, embedding pipeline) with a workspace already indexed.

What Cix Workspace does

Structures an agent's cross-project research when a task spans multiple repos in a cix workspace: run a short term-rich workspace search, read the BM25/dense project ranking with ten empirically-derived trust rules, drill into each repo via single-project search or a bundled read-only cix-workspace-investigator sub-agent, then synthesize a per-repo change plan. Manual-invocation only (description says 'do not auto-trigger'); requires a self-hosted cix-server with a workspace already created and its repos indexed.

How to install Cix Workspace

git clone https://github.com/dvcdsys/code-index
cp -r code-index/skills/cix-workspace ~/.claude/skills/cix-workspace
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents && cp code-index/skills/cix-workspace/agents/cix-workspace-investigator.md ~/.claude/agents/

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

Commands — how to trigger Cix Workspace

/cix-workspace Cross-repo research workflow for self-hosted cix workspaces: which repos, which code, what changes.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Which repos in our cix workspace touch the payment retry logic?
I need to change the auth flow, what code across our repos does that?
Search our workspace for every service that reads the config manifest
