Is the Council Implement skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from SamJHudson01/Carmack-Council. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Council Implement SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 3/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Council Implement?

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 Council Implement 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: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 11c399c

The naive 'cp -r skills/council-implement' install silently breaks: all six reference docs the workflow requires (security.md, quality-backend.md, etc.) actually live in a shared references/ folder at the repo root, not inside the skill directory, and raw-fetching them at the SKILL.md-relative path 404s. The repo's own README confirms this and ships prebuilt dist/*.skill bundles specifically to work around it.

What Council Implement does

Implements a previously generated Council Plan one task at a time for a Next.js/tRPC/Prisma/Clerk stack, loading the named domain expert's reference document (security, refactoring, frontend/backend/postgres/LLM quality) before writing each task's code, then verifying with tsc/eslint/tests and logging results for /council-review. Triggers only on explicit phrases like 'council implement,' 'carmack implement,' or the /council-implement command.

How to install Council Implement

git clone https://github.com/SamJHudson01/Carmack-Council
