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.
# Writing Guidelines Review files for compliance with Writing Guidelines. ## How It Works 1. Load the pinned guidelines from [`references/guidelines.md`](references/guidelines.md) — this is the default, reproducible execution path 2. Optionally, fetch the latest guidelines from the upstream URL below and diff against the pinned snapshot to see if anything has changed 3. Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern) 4. Check against all rules in the guidelines 5. Output findings in the terse `file:line` format ## Guidelines Source **Default (pinned):** The vendored copy at [`references/guidelines.md`](references/guidelines.md) is the default execution path. It is a pinned snapshot of the upstream guidelines and guarantees the skill produces reproducible results in any runtime environment. **Upstream (live):** For users who want the very latest rules, the live source is available at: ``` https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/writing-guidelines/main/command.md ``` Fetching the live version is optional — the pinned snapshot is always the baseline. ## Usage When a user provides a file or pattern argument: 1. Load [`references/guidelines.md`](references/guidelines.m

Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 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.
