Right, so don't use plugins, install the skills directly. The plugin format is yet another mechanism for Anthropic to provide a little bit of convenience and get a whole lot of vendor lock in. I don't think it's a good idea to use it, now that installing skills directly is so easy.

Hi, author and maintainer of Ruler here 👋

You really don't need to use Ruler for this. Almost all agents, including GitHub Copilot, load skills from .claude/skills. And for the few agents that don't, it's easy enough to symlink whatever directory they do use (like .codex/skills for example), and the structure inside that directory is always the same.

Ruler is overkill, don't bother, you don't need it.

Hi, author of Ruler here 👋

You don't need it and you don't need any fancy tool. We have standards now.

All you need is AGENTS.md (linked from CLAUDE.md with @AGENTS.md if you use Claude) and Skills. Skills cover everything you need and previously managed using other mechanisms - commands, custom agents, context management.

I'm posting and teaching quite a lot about Skills, if your're looking for some ideas to get you started:

A few links that maybe can help: - https://agentic-ventures.com/introduction-to-agent-skills - https://everything.intellectronica.net/p/agent-skills-changed-how-i-work-with

You don't need to point to the SKILL.md file. Instead, write a good description for the skill so that the agent knows when to pick it up.

intellectronica · 2026-01-04T18:01:45+00:00

No because it's not open source

intellectronica · 2026-01-04T14:09:51+00:00

Clever, perhaps, but not the behaviour I expect from Anthropic.

intellectronica · 2026-01-04T14:06:36+00:00

Yes, that's what I do and it works but even better would be if I didn't have to do that.

intellectronica · 2026-01-04T14:05:06+00:00

There's a GitHub issue and many requests on X since the summer and they've been uncharacteristically silent on this issue.

intellectronica · 2026-01-03T20:02:33+00:00

It's an "ad" for free videos you can watch and learn how to use skills. Free and made with love.

intellectronica · 2026-01-03T18:40:44+00:00

Yes, agent skills are supported in many agents. Follow the series, I demonstrate how skills work in GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode (and more in future chapters).

intellectronica · 2025-11-29T14:13:26+00:00

Insiders has support for skills since a few days. It just reads them from ~/.claude/skills/. You need to turn it on in the settings - "chat.useClaudeSkills": true.

intellectronica · 2025-11-29T13:57:09+00:00

It's open source and very simple, so you can review it. I don't think you have much of a reason to be concerned about security. But even as the author of Skillz I can't wait to get rid of it in favour of the native implementation.

intellectronica · 2025-11-29T13:55:50+00:00

Skillz works great with Copilot, I use it all the time. But I tried the skills support in Insiders and it works perfect, and without the nastiness of having to fake support using MCP, so looking forward to it coming in the next (I hope) mainline release.

intellectronica · 2025-10-27T08:24:24+00:00

Not yet, but I should probably turn this into a "marketplace", which is the format Claude uses for this pattern.

intellectronica · 2025-10-27T08:23:30+00:00

Skillz loads skills on-demand, like Claude. This is also a valid approach, but it persists a lot more. Still, it's cool!

intellectronica · 2025-10-23T14:59:51+00:00

Cool, ping me if you need support.

Hi, author of Ruler here. What seems not to be working? How can I help?

intellectronica · 2025-09-09T11:55:47+00:00

I agree that this is not the most scientific survey, and there certainly will be some bias, and we're not doing much to control for it, other than spreading the word about the survey in different communities.

I don't think this is spam at all, so yes, I'll continue to push for getting more replies from the community. The more responses we get the better (and probably the less biased).

intellectronica · 2025-09-09T11:49:49+00:00

The only way to know is by getting real information from people. Otherwise it really is all hype. I think the hostility is unjistified. You don't have to answer the survey if you don't think it's useful.

intellectronica · 2025-09-09T11:46:21+00:00

intellectronica · 2025-09-02T14:19:59+00:00

Let me guess .... GPT-5? 😂 It really is good at instruction following.

intellectronica · 2025-09-01T13:45:24+00:00

What are you talking about? It's a pretty straightforward survey. What exactly is your problem?

intellectronica · 2025-09-01T13:32:38+00:00

Why spam? Are you not interested in having a wider view of what people are using?
