How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Agent Style

Portable SDD wrapper for the vendored `agent-style` v0.3.5 rule pack.

This skill exists so Agent-Style support moves with `.claude/skills/` when SDD is applied to another project. It does not enable global writing style, does not edit `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`, and does not replace `style-review`.

Bundled Source

  • Rules: `references/RULES.md`
  • Upstream pin: `references/UPSTREAM.md`
  • Attribution: `references/NOTICE.md`
  • Detector notes: `references/rule-detectors.md`
  • Revision prompt: `references/revision-prompt.md`

Retain `references/NOTICE.md` when copying or redistributing this skill.

Install Check

When asked whether Agent-Style is available in a target project, verify:

1. `.claude/skills/agent-style/SKILL.md` exists. 2. `.claude/skills/agent-style/references/RULES.md` exists. 3. `.claude/skills/style-review/SKILL.md` points to the bundled agent-style references, not a required repository-level `.agent-style/` directory.

If the target project still uses `.agent-style/` directly, migrate by copying this entire skill folder and updating `style-review` source paths.

CLI Check

For deterministic audits, check:

agent-style --version

If missing, report:

agent-style deterministic audit unavailable: `agent-style` CLI is not on PATH. Bundled rules remain available for semantic review through `.claude/skills/agent-style/references/`.

Do not install dependencies unless the user asks.

Audit Routing

For file review, use `style-review`. This skill supplies the portable rule pack; `style-review` supplies the review workflow, audit command, polish invariants, and completion evidence.

Use this skill directly only for:

  • Checking whether Agent-Style travels with SDD apply/sync.
  • Reading the pinned rules or upstream metadata.
  • Migrating an older `.agent-style/`-based repo into `.claude/skills`.
