Is the Dynare Copilot skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from EconSolider/dynare-copilot. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Dynare Copilot SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Dynare Copilot?

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 Dynare Copilot 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: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b69adf8

Its R5 naming rule alone (never name a var/parameter i, e, E, or alpha/beta as-spelled - they silently collide with Dynare/MATLAB reserved tokens) catches a real, well-documented class of Dynare footgun that a naive from-memory .mod hits immediately; full auto-run-and-debug needs a paid MATLAB license (or Octave) plus a MATLAB MCP server, and several reference files ship a hardcoded `C:\dynare\7.1\...` default path flagged 'change this for your machine.'

What Dynare Copilot does

A dense rules-and-workflow skill for writing, running, debugging, and extending Dynare .mod files across the DSGE/RBC/NK/HANK/OLG model lifecycle: it forces a derive-before-code step, hard-codes eight anti-footgun rules (end-of-period timing convention, varexo-innovations-only, banned reserved names like i/e/alpha), and ships a 149-paper plus 89-example local reference library plus publication-grade IRF plotting scripts. Triggers on writing, replicating, modifying, or debugging Dynare models; the automatic run-and-fix loop additionally needs a MATLAB MCP server and a MATLAB or Octave + Dynare 7.1 install.
