8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install CodeAlive Context Engine?

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 CodeAlive Context Engine 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.

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

Every script but get_version.py hard-requires a CodeAlive account, indexed repos, and a stored API key (verified: datasources.py fails cleanly with a setup pointer, no key found) — the skill itself is clean and well-designed, but there's a real signup/indexing wall before it does anything.

What CodeAlive Context Engine does

Wraps the CodeAlive SaaS API in stdlib-only Python scripts for semantic search, exact grep, artifact fetch, and call-graph/inheritance drilldown across repos indexed on the CodeAlive platform. Triggers when the user names CodeAlive, asks to list data sources/indexed repos, search code or docs across remote repos, or trace call graphs across repositories.
