Platform Support

ACT supports Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and partial experimental Codex support. Skill names, the spec → plan → work workflow, and skill groupings stay the same across all clients. The main differences are discovery UX, hooks, and permissions.

ClientIncludesBest if you…
Claude CodeCommands, agents, skills, hooksprefer Anthropic models and the Claude ecosystem
OpenCodeCommands, agents, skills, hookswant flexibility to switch between models and providers
CodexGenerated skills, generated agents, supported hookswant to use ACT from Codex and accept experimental support limits
CursorCommands, agents, skillswant an IDE-based agent experience without a separate terminal client
  • Claude Code — invoke skills directly: /act-workflow-plan
  • OpenCode — use /skills to browse and run act-* skills
  • Codex — use /skills or mention $act-workflow-plan where supported
  • Cursor — open Agent chat and type /act- to discover act-* skills
  • Help — use /act-help on slash-command clients, or $act-help in Codex

If you are on Windows, use WSL consistently for the full ACT workflow:

  • clone ACT inside WSL
  • run the installer inside WSL
  • start your AI client from that same WSL environment

Do not mix a WSL install with PowerShell, CMD, or Git Bash sessions.
