Is the Dev Requirements skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Dev Requirements SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Dev Requirements?

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 Dev Requirements 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: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 14fd44a

Live-ran every CLI call the SKILL.md promises in a fresh repo: `ai-devkit lint` correctly failed with 5 missing docs, `init` fixed it, and `docs init-feature csv-export-reports` wrote seven dated requirement/design/testing files to disk exactly as documented — but finishing an actual requirements doc genuinely requires a live back-and-forth on open questions, so it can't be completed in one autonomous pass.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Dev Requirements does

Runs phases 1-2 of the ai-devkit dev-lifecycle: capturing a new feature's problem statement, user stories, and success criteria into versioned docs, then reviewing an existing requirements doc for gaps. Triggers when a user wants to start a feature, clarify scope, or review requirements before design/implementation begins.

How to install Dev Requirements

git clone https://github.com/codeaholicguy/ai-devkit
cd ai-devkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/dev-requirements ~/.claude/skills/dev-requirements

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