Yes. The skill itself is free from wshobson/agents. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the FastAPI Templates SkillProof Score?

7.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 4/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install FastAPI Templates?

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 FastAPI Templates 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: 7.2/10
Tested: Jul 11, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · bd8a2ab

Full test: verbatim install worked first try (documented repo path exists, strict-YAML frontmatter, referenced 409-line patterns file present, no API keys or external deps). A/B on an async CRUD router task showed skill-arm output equal in quality to the no-skill baseline — both correct and idiomatic FastAPI; the skill is a solid reference but adds no measurable lift over what the model already knows. Description triggers accurately on new-FastAPI-project prompts with mild over-breadth on generic 'backend API' phrasing.

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