agent-style (PyPI)
CLI for The Elements of Agent Style: a literature-backed English technical-prose writing ruleset for AI agents.
Install:
pip install agent-style
Basic use:
agent-style list-tools # show supported tools
agent-style enable claude-code # wire up Claude Code
agent-style enable claude-code --dry-run --json # preview in canonical JSON
agent-style disable claude-code # reverse
agent-style rules # print bundled RULES.md
The CLI writes to .agent-style/ in your project and safely adds a marker-wrapped reference to your existing instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, etc.). Existing content is preserved; writes are idempotent; --dry-run previews without changing any file.
Supported tools and install modes in v0.8.0:
| Tool | Install mode |
|---|---|
| claude-code | import-marker (writes @.agent-style/claude-code.md to your CLAUDE.md) |
| agents-md | append-block (writes a marker block to your AGENTS.md) |
| copilot | append-block (writes a marker block to .github/copilot-instructions.md) |
| copilot-path | owned-file (writes .github/instructions/agent-style.instructions.md) |
| cursor | owned-file (writes .cursor/rules/agent-style.mdc) |
| anthropic-skill | owned-file (writes .claude/skills/agent-style/SKILL.md) |
| codex | print-only (writes .agent-style/codex-system-prompt.md; stdout = prompt) |
| aider | multi-file-required (writes .agent-style/aider-conventions.md; stderr = .aider.conf.yml snippet) |
| kiro | owned-file (writes .kiro/steering/agent-style.md) |
| style-review | skill-with-references (installs the skill and its references on supported hosts) |
The full rule set lives in the canonical repository at https://github.com/yzhao062/agent-style. This PyPI package bundles RULES.md, NOTICE.md, the 9 primary adapters, the style-review skill and its references, and the tools.json registry; running agent-style rules prints the bundled RULES.md for quick review.
