TL;DR

I built klaussy-agents, an open-source CLI (pip install klaussy-agents) that reads your repo's conventions once and scaffolds repo-aware skills for five coding agents: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. The interesting part is the adaptation layer: one Claude-authored SKILL.md gets rewritten into each agent's native form, including how sub-agent and plan-mode wording maps to each agent's own primitive. It's a scaffolder, not a runtime, it's at v0.3.2, and the per-agent translation has real seams. Repo: github.com/steph-dove/klaussy-agents.
