Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

Abide compiles a repository’s coding instructions into a hand-editable rubric for checking agent changes. It preserves each rule’s source and scope, separates checks suited to linters or a diff reviewer from those that need more context, then validates and calibrates the rubric.

WHO IT'S FOR
AI agent / automation builders
enforce project rules on AI coding edits
Platform / DevEx teams
standardize AI coding conventions across repositories
Technical leads / architects
validate AI agent adherence to project guidelines
Teams sharing AI coding rules
sync project instructions with automated checkers

1 skill file

Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.

Use this skill

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

I’m using

Install Abide for all supported agents

Installs: Machine-wide installation into every supported agent · Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode

Before you start
  • A TypeSafe key to paste during login
  1. In a terminal, choose the requested key type and paste your TypeSafe key when prompted.

    npx @coldtea/abide login    # pick a key type, paste it once
  2. After login completes, run this command in a terminal to hook Abide into every supported agent on the machine.

    npx @coldtea/abide init     # hooks into every agent on this machine

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Extract and classify repository rules

Uses abide-compile

  • Repository path
  • The instruction-file list and scope information supplied by the Abide hook

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the abide-compile skill to inspect the instruction files listed by the Abide hook for my repository. Read every listed file in full, follow any pointer files, and produce a first-pass inventory of each code-related instruction using its exact wording, source path, and line number. Classify every extracted rule into exactly one supported bucket—lint, deferred, model, or unenforceable—and briefly justify the classification. Do not add rules that are not present in the supplied files. The repository path and hook-provided file list are: <repository-path-and-file-list>.
