This skill should be used when the user wants to check whether an agent skill is portable across providers. Common triggers include "is this skill cross-provider safe", "will my skill work in cursor", "audit skill compatibility", "check if this loads in codex", and "which providers support this skill". Spawns one agent per provider in parallel using bundled provider-doc snapshots (refreshed on cadence — never fetched at runtime) and produces a compatibility matrix plus a COMPAT.md report. Skip when authoring a new skill (use skill-creator) or rerunning baselines (use skill-eval).

Audits whether an agent skill loads and behaves correctly across the major
providers — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex CLI, and the Agents-Skills
Baseline (covering Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Pi). See scripts/providers.mjs
for the canonical list. The audit covers three layers:
Format-level — does the file/dir structure and frontmatter match what
the provider expects?
Body-level — does the body reference provider-specific conventions
(XML tags, headings) that other providers ignore?
Tool-surface-level — does the body name tools (e.g.,
AskUserQuestion) that only exist in one provider?
The canonical provider list, required/forbidden frontmatter fields, and
bundled doc snapshots live in scripts/providers.mjs
and references/providers/. Provider docs are
refreshed at authoring time via pnpm skill-tools refresh-provider-docs
and committed — the audit never fetches at runtime, so per-provider
verdicts are deterministic and offline-capable.
When to use
Verbatim trigger phrases:
"is this skill cross-provider safe"
"will my skill work in cursor"
"will this load in codex"
"audit skill compatibility"
"check if this skill is portable"
"which providers support this skill"
"is my skill claude-only"
When NOT to use
Authoring a brand-new skill → use skill-creator
Rerunning a skill's existing eval baselines → use skill-eval
Linting a skill against this monorepo's rules → use pnpm skill-tools lint
Comparing skill behavior across model versions → that's skill-eval, not this
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS — one of:
A path to a skill directory (skills/code-reviewer/ or
skills/skill-creator/)
A path to a single SKILL.md / .mdc / AGENTS.md file
A glob (skills/*) — bulk audit
A literal frontmatter+body block pasted into the prompt
Empty — discover via ls skills/ and ask which to audit
Workflow
1. Resolve the input
Determine what the user is auditing.
Input
Action
Directory path
Read the SKILL.md (or .mdc / AGENTS.md) inside
Single file path
Read the file directly
Glob
Expand and audit each match
Pasted content
Treat the prompt body as the skill content
Empty $ARGUMENTS
List skills/*/SKILL.md and ask the user which to audit
Parse the frontmatter (YAML between leading --- markers) and remember the
body content. Both feed into the per-provider checks.
2. Load the canonical provider list
Run the bundled ESM script — no shell required, works on macOS, Linux, and
Windows:
Capture the JSON. Each entry has id, name, fileFormat, fileLocation,
docUrls, localDocPath, requiredFrontmatter, optionalFrontmatter,
ignoredFrontmatter, forbiddenFrontmatter, toolSurface, and notes.
This script is the single source of truth. Don't hardcode provider details
into the audit body — re-run the script each time.
3. Fan out: one agent per provider, in parallel
Dispatch one Agent call per provider returned by step 2 (concurrent — one
tool message with all tool uses). Don't hardcode the count — providers.mjs
is the source of truth and may grow. Each agent gets:
The provider entry from step 2 (id, format requirements, toolSurface, notes)
The bundled provider doc snapshot read from localDocPath (e.g.
references/providers/cursor.md). Read the file with the Read tool
before dispatching the subagent and pass its contents inline in the
subagent prompt — do NOT instruct the subagent to fetch.
The skill content from step 1 (frontmatter + body)
These instructions to the subagent:
Use the provider doc snapshot included in this prompt — it was bundled
with the skill at authoring time and is the authoritative reference
for this audit. Do NOT WebFetch any URL; if the snapshot is missing
details, surface that as a NOTES finding rather than fetching.
Evaluate the skill against three layers:
Format: does it match fileFormat? Are all requiredFrontmatter
fields present? Are any forbiddenFrontmatter fields present?
Body: does the body lean on conventions this provider doesn't
parse (e.g., XML tags Cursor strips, headings the baseline ignores)?
Tool surface: does the body name tools not in this provider's
toolSurface? List each unmatched tool name.
Return a structured verdict:
VERDICT: compatible | partial | incompatible
FORMAT: <one-line summary>
BODY: <one-line summary>
TOOLS: <comma-separated unmatched tool names, or "none">
NOTES: <2–3 specific findings with file/line references where possible>
Use subagent_type: "general-purpose". Run all dispatches in one
message so they execute concurrently.
4. Aggregate the verdicts into a matrix
Build a markdown table with one row per provider and one column per layer:
Add a NOTES paragraph below summarizing the most actionable change to make
the skill more portable.
5. Write COMPAT.md and print the matrix inline
Two outputs:
Inline: print the matrix + notes in chat so the user sees it immediately.
Persisted: write <skill-dir>/COMPAT.md (or ./COMPAT.md if no skill
dir), containing: the matrix, the per-provider verdict bodies, the
timestamp, and the providers.mjsdocUrls actually fetched. The user can
diff this over time to spot regressions when providers move docs.
For bulk audits (glob input), produce one combined matrix where rows are
skills, columns are providers, and write COMPAT.md at the repo root.
6. Handle missing or stale snapshots
If any provider's localDocPath doesn't exist or its snapshot is empty /
truncated to a placeholder, surface this in the inline output:
⚠ Provider snapshot missing or sparse: `cursor` — references/providers/cursor.md
is 503 bytes (likely SPA-rendered upstream). Verdict relies on the
`notes` field. Run `pnpm skill-tools refresh-provider-docs` to refresh.
Don't silently fall back to WebFetch — that's exactly the runtime fetch
behavior the bundled-snapshot design avoids. If a snapshot is genuinely
missing, treat it as unknown in the verdict rather than guessing.
To refresh snapshots from upstream (dev-time, not runtime):
pnpm skill-tools refresh-provider-docs
To verify URLs still resolve (HEAD requests, no body fetch):
rename to AGENTS.md; AskUserQuestion not in tool surface
Agents-Skills Baseline
compatible
loads from .agents/skills/; tool names vary per consumer
Write skills/code-reviewer/COMPAT.md with full per-provider bodies.
Pasted: a `.mdc` file with `globs:` and `alwaysApply:` in frontmatter — "will this load in claude code?"
1. Resolve: parse pasted content. Frontmatter: `description`, `globs`,
`alwaysApply`. No `name` field.
2. Load providers list.
3. Fan out 4 parallel agents.
4. Verdicts:
Claude Code: incompatible — missing required name field; skills
CLI rejects without it. globs/alwaysApply are silently ignored.
Cursor: compatible — this is native .mdc format.
Codex CLI: partial — Codex reads AGENTS.md as plain markdown;
frontmatter is silently ignored, content would still apply.
Continue.dev: partial — move to .continue/rules/<name>.md;
globs is supported, alwaysApply is not.
Recommend: add name: <kebab-case> to make portable; consider dropping
alwaysApply since only Cursor honors it.
Ran `node scripts/providers.mjs --pretty` once at step 2. For each provider,
Read its `localDocPath` snapshot and inlined the contents into the
subagent prompt. Subagents evaluated against bundled docs — no runtime
WebFetch.
Instructed subagents to WebFetch the provider docUrls at audit time. Result:
slow audits, stale-doc false negatives, runtime dependency on every
provider's docs site staying up.
The bad version reintroduces the runtime URL fetch the snapshot pattern
exists to avoid. Snapshots are committed; refresh on cadence with
pnpm skill-tools refresh-provider-docs.

format requirements, localDocPath for each provider's bundled snapshot.
Run --check to verify upstream URLs still resolve.
