# Agent Style
Portable SDD wrapper for the vendored `agent-style` v0.3.5 rule pack.
This skill exists so Agent-Style support moves with `.claude/skills/` when SDD
is applied to another project. It does not enable global writing style, does not
edit `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`, and does not replace `style-review`.
## Bundled Source
- Rules: `references/RULES.md`
- Upstream pin: `references/UPSTREAM.md`
- Attribution: `references/NOTICE.md`
- Detector notes: `references/rule-detectors.md`
- Revision prompt: `references/revision-prompt.md`
Retain `references/NOTICE.md` when copying or redistributing this skill.
## Install Check
When asked whether Agent-Style is available in a target project, verify:
1. `.claude/skills/agent-style/SKILL.md` exists.
2. `.claude/skills/agent-style/references/RULES.md` exists.
3. `.claude/skills/style-review/SKILL.md` points to the bundled agent-style
references, not a required repository-level `.agent-style/` directory.
If the target project still uses `.agent-style/` directly, migrate by copying
this entire skill folder and updating `style-review` source paths.
## CLI Check
For deterministic audits, check:
```bash
agent-style --version
```
If missing, report:
```text
agent-style deterministic audit unavailable: `agent-style` CLI is not on PATH. Bundled rules remain available for semantic review through `.claude/skills/agent-style/references/`.
```
Do not install dependencies unless the user asks.
## Audit Routing
For file review, use `style-review`. This skill supplies the portable rule pack;
`style-review` supplies the review workflow, audit command, polish invariants,
and completion evidence.
Use this skill directly only for:
- Checking whether Agent-Style travels with SDD apply/sync.
- Reading the pinned rules or upstream metadata.
- Migrating an older `.agent-style/`-based repo into `.claude/skills`.
