install

Install content items such as rules, skills, or workflows into your project to load automatically in future sessions. Supports multiple AI agents.

Instructions

Install a content item (rule, skill, workflow, agent, command, or template) into the current project so it is loaded automatically in future sessions. Supports opencode, Claude Code, Cline, and Codex.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesPath of the content to install (e.g. "rules/typescript")
agentYesTarget AI agent (opencode, claude-code, cline, codex, or copilot).
projectDirNoProject directory (defaults to current working directory). Config files are found by walking up.
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions installation makes content persistent but lacks details on side effects (e.g., overwriting existing items), permission requirements, or error behavior. There is a minor inconsistency: description lists four agents but schema includes 'copilot', which could mislead.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loads the verb and resource, and contains no extraneous information. Every word earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given three parameters and no output schema, the description covers core purpose but lacks depth on behavioral traits like overwrite behavior, error handling, or confirmation steps. It is adequate but not complete for a tool that modifies the project.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond the schema's descriptions. It does not enhance understanding of parameter usage beyond what the schema already provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool installs a content item into the current project, lists specific content types, and explains the benefit of automatic loading in future sessions. It distinguishes from siblings like 'uninstall' and 'delete' by focusing on installation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for making content persistent across sessions but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update' or 'reinstall'. No exclusion criteria or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
