agent-steering
Universal agent configuration patterns for any AI coding environment. Use when configuring steering, specs, or context assembly for Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Charm, or other agents.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill agent-steering --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Agent Steering *Universal patterns for AI coding agent configuration. Platform-agnostic principles, platform-specific deployment.* ## Overview Agent Steering documents the patterns that transform any AI coding agent from a simple assistant into a cognitive partner. These patterns work across different environments—Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Charm—because they address fundamental problems in agent configuration. This skill provides: - **Steering hierarchy** — Global → Workspace → Project context layering - **3-phase spec process** — Design → Requirements → Tasks structured development - **Context assembly** — Progressive disclosure and explicit boundaries - **Slice architecture** — Modular identity composition - **Covenant enforcement** — Assumption-hostile configuration The core insight: Agents fail through presumption. Explicit context management prevents presumptive behavior regardless of platform. ## The Steering Hierarchy ### Layer Model Steering provides layered context that adapts to different scopes: ``` Global Steering (universal agent behavior) ↓ inherits Workspace Steering (multi-project coordination) ↓ inherits Project Steering (specific project context) ↓ overrides Fin

What does the agent-steering skill do?
Universal agent configuration patterns for any AI coding environment. Use when configuring steering, specs, or context assembly for Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Charm, or other agents.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill agent-steering --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
