repostyle

Point at any GitHub repo, get a drop-in coding-conventions file for your AI agent. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Codex, Continue, and Cline.

npx repostyle vercel/next.js
# → writes ./CLAUDE.md (default)

npx repostyle vercel/next.js --target cursor
# → writes ./.cursorrules

npx repostyle vercel/next.js --target codex
# → writes ./AGENTS.md

Drop the generated file into your project. Your AI agent now follows the source repo's file structure, naming, test patterns, and commit conventions.

Why

Every AI-augmented dev has wished their agent would code like a repo they admire. Built-in commands like claude init only analyse the current repo. repostyle imports style from another repo into yours.

Usage

npx repostyle <owner/repo>
npx repostyle https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>
npx repostyle shadcn-ui/ui --target cursor --out ./.cursorrules
