The card's file-copy install works (SKILL.md and all reference files present, frontmatter parses), but the skill's own documented dependency (npm install -g @refly/cli) is a nonexistent npm package that 404s on the registry; the real CLI is an undocumented @powerformer/refly-cli that hits AUTH_REQUIRED on every command since the skill only routes to the hosted api.refly.ai backend. No task can produce a working output on a verbatim install without a Refly account and login, so the skill is inert out of the box. Confirms a prior SkillProof finding that a refly skill referenced a nonexistent package.

What Refly does
Base skill for Refly ecosystem: creates, discovers, and runs domain-specific skills bound to workflows. Routes user intent to matching domain skills via symlinks, delegates execution to Refly backend. Use when user asks to: create skills, run workflows, automate multi-step tasks, or manage pipelines. Triggers: refly, skill, workflow, run skill, create skill, automation, pipeline. Requires:…
How to install Refly

cp -r packages/cli/skill ~/.claude/skills/refly
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Refly
-
/reflyCreates, discovers, and runs domain-specific skills bound to Refly workflows.

-
Create a new Refly skill for this workflow -
Run this Refly automation pipeline -
Route this task to the matching Refly skill
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Refly skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from refly-ai/refly. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Refly work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 12, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass.

- How do I install Refly?
- 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 Refly 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.
