Is the Metaskill skill free?

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

What is the Metaskill 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 Metaskill?

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 Metaskill 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: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · d0341dc

Asked it to design a pre-merge PR-security-review skill: the flow-guided build added an argument-hint, a scoped allowed-tools list, live git-diff context injection, and an explicit anti-hallucination instruction that my own unguided SKILL.md skipped entirely — a concrete, usable delta.

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

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Metaskill does

Metaskill is a meta-skill for Claude Code: it detects whether you want a full multi-agent project team, one subagent, or one slash-command skill, then runs a research-then-build flow (web search for domain conventions, MCP servers, and tooling) before writing CLAUDE.md, .claude/agents/, .claude/skills/, and .mcp.json. Trigger it when the user asks to generate an agent team for a project type, or to create a single agent or skill.

How to install Metaskill

git clone https://github.com/xvirobotics/metaskill
cd metaskill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skill ~/.claude/skills/metaskill

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