What are instincts in Claude Code?

Instincts are domain-specific guidelines, best practices, and implementation patterns that shape how Claude behaves and makes decisions during coding tasks.

Can I import instincts from a private GitHub repository?

Yes, as long as you provide a reachable URL or local path to the YAML file, the skill can fetch and parse instincts from various sources.

What happens during a dry run?

A dry run analyzes the source file and compares it against your existing local instincts, providing a detailed report of what would be added, updated, or skipped without making any changes.

How does the skill handle conflicting instincts?

By default, it uses a confidence-based approach where the version with the higher confidence score is prioritized, though users can force overrides or skip conflicts for manual resolution.

协作工具

Imports and synchronizes Claude behavior instincts from teammates, repository analyses, or community collections to standardize AI performance.

The Instinct Import skill enables developers to share and standardize Claude's behavioral patterns across teams or projects. By fetching instinct files from local paths, URLs, or automated repository analyses via Skill Creator, it ensures that the AI model adheres to specific coding standards, implementation patterns, and team preferences. The skill intelligently manages conflicts using confidence-based merging and provides a dry-run feature to preview changes before they are committed to the local environment, making it an essential tool for maintaining consistent AI assistance across distributed teams.
