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 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · aa1b3fa

Asked for accessible DSFR accordion markup: the skill pulled the exact official structure (section.fr-accordion > h3.fr-accordion__title > button.fr-accordion__btn[aria-expanded][aria-controls] + div.fr-collapse) straight from its bundled code.md and accessibilite.md, which a from-memory answer has no way to reproduce correctly; the catch is the README's own manual git-clone instructions are stale and would install a broken (2-levels-too-deep, undiscoverable) skill folder.

What Design System Francais (DSFR) does

Bundles synced documentation (index/accessibilite/code/design.md + working HTML examples) for 23 DSFR components used on French government websites, so Claude can answer with the exact fr-* class names, ARIA pattern and RGAA 4.1 accessibility requirements instead of guessing. Triggers when the user asks to implement a DSFR component, needs RGAA guidance, or is building a French government site.
