Compatibility
The Agent Skills standard, originally introduced by Anthropic for Claude Code, is an open format now adopted by several AI coding agents, including:
| Agent | Skills support |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Native support since the introduction of Agent Skills. Reads only its own .claude/skills/ (project) or ~/.claude/skills/ (personal) — not the shared .agents/skills/ location. |
| OpenAI Codex | Reads the shared .agents/skills/ directory (project and personal) directly; no dedicated Codex-specific directory needed. |
| GitHub Copilot | Supported in the Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, agent mode (VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio), and code review. Reads .github/skills/, .claude/skills/, or the shared .agents/skills/ — no dedicated directory required. |
See the full Agent Skills client list for other compatible agents — any of them can
use this skill the same way, by installing it into that agent’s own skills directory. See
Installation for how npx skills add handles this automatically.
