Install the Writing Guidelines (Vercel) skill

A community skill: it installs from its own repository and your agent runs the project's instructions locally with your own model. SkillGild lists it and credits the author; nothing runs on SkillGild.

  1. With the SkillGild CLI (needs git). It clones vercel-labs/agent-skills and copies the skill folder into the right place for your agent; use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

    Terminal
    skillgild install writing-guidelines --agent claude-code
  2. Any agent, with the skills CLI.

    Terminal
    npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill writing-guidelines
  3. Manual copy.

    Terminal
    Clone the repo and copy skills/writing-guidelines/ into ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Or copy the folder yourself from vercel-labs/agent-skills (folder skills/writing-guidelines) into ~/.claude/skills/writing-guidelines/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor or ~/.gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI, then start a new session.

Questions

How do I install the Writing Guidelines (Vercel) skill in Claude Code?

Run skillgild install writing-guidelines --agent claude-code: the SkillGild CLI clones vercel-labs/agent-skills and copies the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/writing-guidelines. You can also use the project's own commands shown above, or copy the folder yourself. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

Is Writing Guidelines (Vercel) free and open source?

The vercel-labs/agent-skills repository does not include a license file at the time of listing, so treat it as all rights reserved by the author until one is added. SkillGild lists and links it; it does not host or redistribute the files.

Which agents does Writing Guidelines (Vercel) work with?

The project lists Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and 18+ Agent Skills hosts. It is a plain Agent Skills folder (SKILL.md plus supporting files), so any client that reads that format can load it.

Does Writing Guidelines (Vercel) run on SkillGild?

No. Writing Guidelines (Vercel) is a community skill: your agent runs its instructions locally with your own model, and SkillGild lists, credits and installs it. Hosted SkillGild skills are marked differently and run through the SkillGild MCP server.
