README

GOING DARK

A method for AI coding agents, for running a software project one strict way: issues written as specifications, handoff prompts any agent can follow, audits that fix what they find, and one flow from issue to release.

It works with **Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and any agent that reads `AGENTS.md`**. The skills are plain Markdown in the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) format, and a small installer puts them where each agent looks.

It is opinionated on purpose. It is one maintainer's method, used daily on a real product, packaged so it works in any project.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add reyxdz/going-dark
/plugin install go-dark@going-dark

Commands are `/go-dark:`, and the standing rules load at every session start.

Every other agent

With Node.js 20 or later, run the installer straight from GitHub — nothing is installed globally:

npx github:reyxdz/going-dark install --agent codex

`--agent`	Agent	`--scope user` (every project)	`--scope project` (this project)
`codex`	OpenAI Codex	skills in `~/.agents/skills`, rules in `~/.codex/AGENTS.md`	`.agents/skills`, `AGENTS.md`
`gemini`	Gemini CLI	skills in `~/.agents/skills`, rules in `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`	`.agents/skills`, `GEMINI.md`
`copilot`	GitHub Copilot	skills in `~/.agents/skills`, rules in `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md`	`.agents/skills`, `AGENTS.md`
`cursor`	Cursor	skills in `~/.agents/skills` (its user rules live in Settings → Rules)	`.agents/skills`, `AGENTS.md`
`agents`	Any agent that reads `AGENTS.md`	—	`.agents/skills`, `AGENTS.md`

Outside Claude Code each skill is named `go-dark-`. The rules go into the rules file inside a marked block that lists every skill and the file to read, so even an agent without native skill support finds and follows them. The installer never touches anything else in that file, re
