What is the Smart Context Loader SkillProof Score?

6.8/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Smart Context Loader?

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 Smart Context Loader 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: 6.8/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · d7ecdbb

On a clean/fresh directory with no prior tracking history, following the skill's own instructions ("skip silently") produces output identical to not having the skill at all — its value only appears after several sessions have fed the tracker, which the one-line description doesn't make clear.

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

What Smart Context Loader does

Checks a local templates directory and a Node-based usage tracker for patterns matching the user's new task, then suggests (never force-loads) up to 3-5 relevant files. Meant to activate when the user describes a new task, says 'let's work on...', or asks what files they need.
