Is the SkillOpt-Sleep skill free?

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

What is the SkillOpt-Sleep 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 SkillOpt-Sleep?

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 SkillOpt-Sleep 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.

Compared a naive direct-rewrite approach against the skill's stage-then-gate-then-adopt flow with backups; reading the actual gate code confirmed the harmful-edit block is implemented exactly as documented.

What SkillOpt-Sleep does

SkillOpt-Sleep runs an offline six-stage cycle -- harvest past Claude Code session logs, mine recurring tasks, replay them under the current skill/memory, and propose bounded CLAUDE.md/SKILL.md edits -- but only stages the results and requires a held-out validation gate to pass before any live file is touched. It triggers on phrases like 'run the sleep cycle,' 'learn my preferences,' or 'consolidate what you learned.' Ships as a real Claude Code plugin backed by a Python package, with a deterministic mock-backend demo that proves the gate blocks harmful edits without spending API budget.

How to install SkillOpt-Sleep

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/SkillOpt
