Is the Glue skill free?

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

What is the Glue SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Glue?

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 Glue 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.

Glue is an obscure, newly-versioned (1.12.1) IDL a base model has essentially no training exposure to — an unguided baseline invented plausible-looking but wrong syntax (`interface`, `:id` path params, a bare `number` type), while following the skill produced a file matching the documented grammar exactly (`model`, `{id}` placeholders, `responses: {}` blocks, `///` doc comments).

What Glue does

Guides an agent through writing, reviewing, and validating Glue IDL (.glue) files and .gluerc config, then generating code for TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, OpenAPI, JSON Schema, or Protobuf from one source of truth. Documents exact syntax (models, enums, type aliases, endpoints, @field metadata, imports), a full worked example, and a review checklist, plus honestly-stated current limitations (no generics, no intersection types). Triggers when designing, writing, reviewing, or generating code from Glue files.

How to install Glue

git clone https://github.com/guywaldman/glue
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r glue/skills/glue ~/.claude/skills/glue

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

Commands — how to trigger Glue

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

What's the Glue syntax to model a User type and a CreateOrder endpoint?
Review my .gluerc.yaml config for multi-target codegen setup
Convert this OpenAPI schema into a Glue IDL file with type aliases
