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

What is the Hive Terminal: Job Control SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 4/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Hive Terminal: Job Control?

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 Hive Terminal: Job Control 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: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 12, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · d7928ee

Teaches three Hive-runtime MCP tools (terminal_job_start / terminal_job_logs / terminal_job_manage) whose implementations live inside the Hive framework and are not callable in a plain Claude Code shell, so it was tested on knowledge-application rather than live execution. Verbatim install is clean (valid YAML frontmatter, references/signals.md present). In the A/B, the skill produced a materially more correct sequence than the base: it nailed the negative subprocess exit-code convention (-2/-15/-9 mapping each signal to what actually killed the job) and the truncated_bytes_dropped fall-behind signal, both of which the base's general shell-job-control knowledge got only approximately right.

What Hive Terminal: Job Control does

Use when launching anything that runs longer than a minute, anything that streams logs, anything you want to keep running while doing other work — or when terminal_exec auto-backgrounded on you and returned a job_id. Teaches the start→poll→wait pattern with terminal_job_logs offset bookkeeping, the `wait_until_exit=True` blocking-poll idiom, the truncated_bytes_dropped resumption signal, the…
