Platform Setup

Claude Skills works with 10 AI coding assistants. Each platform has a different configuration file where you reference skills.

Supported Platforms

Platform Config File Status
Claude Code CLAUDE.md Full support (skills + agents + subagents)
OpenAI Codex AGENTS.md Full support (skills + agents)
Cursor .cursorrules Full support
GitHub Copilot .github/copilot-instructions.md Full support
Google Gemini GEMINI.md Full support
Windsurf .windsurfrules Full support
Cline .clinerules Full support
Aider .aider.conf.yml Full support
Goose .goosehints Full support
RooCode .roo/rules Full support

Platform-Specific Setup

Claude Code has the deepest integration. It supports SKILL.md references, subagents, slash commands, and hooks.

<!-- CLAUDE.md -->
## Skills
When reviewing code, load engineering/code-reviewer/SKILL.md
When optimizing SEO, load marketing/seo-specialist/SKILL.md

Subagents live in .claude/agents/ and run autonomously: 

> /agents/code-reviewer Review the last 3 commits

Slash commands live in .claude/commands/: 

> /review        # Run quality gate
> /security-scan # Run security audit
> /git:pr        # Create a pull request

Add skill references to .cursorrules at your project root:

# .cursorrules
When writing backend code, follow engineering/senior-backend/SKILL.md patterns.
When creating tests, follow engineering/senior-qa/SKILL.md test strategy.
For database design, apply engineering/database-designer/SKILL.md principles.

Reference skills in .github/copilot-instructions.md:

## Code Standards
Follow engineering/code-reviewer/SKILL.md for all code reviews.
Apply engineering/senior-security/SKILL.md for security patterns.

Configure in AGENTS.md at your project root:

## Skills
- engineering/senior-fullstack/SKILL.md - Fullstack development
- marketing/seo-specialist/SKILL.md - SEO optimization

See engineering/codex-cli-specialist/SKILL.md for the full Codex integration guide.

Add to .windsurfrules:

Follow engineering/senior-frontend/SKILL.md for React/Next.js patterns.
Apply product-team/product-manager-toolkit/SKILL.md for feature specs.

Each tool has its own config file (.clinerules, .aider.conf.yml, .goosehints). The pattern is the same -- reference the SKILL.md path:

Use engineering/senior-fullstack/SKILL.md for development guidelines.

Cross-Platform Skills

Every SKILL.md file is platform-agnostic. The same skill works in Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and all other supported assistants. Only the configuration file differs.

Python tools are universal

The scripts/ folder in each skill contains standard Python CLI tools. They run identically regardless of which AI platform you use.
