Is the Workthreads skill free?

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

What is the Workthreads SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Workthreads?

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 Workthreads 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.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 20, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 213074d

Fetched workthreads/SKILL.md + all 6 lib scripts from the dev branch and ran the engine against the repo's own fixtures: `index` ingested 6 sessions across 2 projects, `threads` grouped them per-repo into New/Open/Recently-closed with exact path:line evidence, and correctly flagged the PAYMENT_RETRY thread as reverted:true from a git rollback. Self-contained (node:sqlite built-in, zero deps), git called only via execFileSync with fixed array args, and it ships deterministic secret-redaction (AWS/GitHub/Slack/OpenAI/Anthropic/JWT/bearer patterns) before any output — no network, no curl|sh, no exfiltration found; 11/11 bundled tests pass on Node 24.7.

What Workthreads does

Runs a zero-dependency Node engine over a team's .specstory/history transcripts to cluster sessions into work threads per repo, label each new/open/closed with a reverted marker, and emit path:line evidence — then you synthesize the lead's weekly report. Triggers on "what happened this week", "what's still open", "give me the weekly rollup" over a coding-history corpus.

How to install Workthreads

Clone the repo, then `bash workthreads/install.sh` (copies the engine to ~/.agents/skills/workthreads and symlinks into ~/.claude/skills). Requires Node >=22.5 for the built-in node:sqlite. Zero npm dependencies.

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

Commands — how to trigger Workthreads

/workthreads Deterministic weekly rollup of team work threads from .specstory coding histories.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

What happened on the team this week
Give me the weekly rollup across our repos
What is still open from last week's work
