# Factory Engineering > Configures factory engineering across IDEs. Sets up symlinks so .claude/commands and .claude/skills are available where each IDE expects them (Cursor and GitHub Copilot read .claude/skills directly; Windsurf, Kilo Code, and Antigravity need symlinks for skills; Cursor and others need symlinks for commands). Syncs .claude/commands to GitHub Copilot prompt files (.github/prompts/*.prompt.md) for VS Code. Use when configuring slash commands or skills across IDEs, setting up .cursor/commands or .windsurf/workflows from .claude/commands, syncing commands for Copilot, or unifying command and skill folders. - Skill: `tomevault-io/factory-engineering` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/factory-engineering` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/factory-engineering/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/factory-engineering --- # Factory Engineering One skill for configuring commands, workflows, and skills across IDEs. Canonical locations: **`.claude/commands/`** (commands and workflows), **`.claude/skills/`** (skills). **Installation:** `npx openskills install michaellperry/factoryengineering`. Then ask the agent to set up symlinks or sync Copilot prompts as needed. --- ## When to use - **Symlinks:** User wants slash commands or skills to work in Cursor, Windsurf, Kilo Code, or Antigravity from a single canonical folder. Each IDE looks in a different path; symlinks point those paths to `.claude/commands` and (where needed) `.claude/skills`. Cursor and GitHub Copilot read `.claude/skills/` directly—no skills symlink for them; the script creates skill symlinks only for Windsurf, Kilo Code, and Antigravity. - **Sync Copilot prompts:** User uses GitHub Copilot (VS Code) and wants `/command-name` in Chat. Copilot uses `.github/prompts/*.prompt.md`, not `.claude/commands/*.md`. Sync converts commands to prompt files. For Copilot commands, use sync (symlinks do not apply). --- ## Symlinks Workflow, script options, and mapping tables: **[symlinks.md](symlinks.md)**. Run scripts from the **repository root**. Bash: `scripts/setup-symlinks.sh`. PowerShell: `scripts/Setup-Symlinks.ps1`. Use `--detect` / `-Detect` to list IDEs before creating symlinks; use `--copy-existing` / `-CopyExisting` to merge existing target folders into the canonical folder first. --- ## Sync commands to GitHub Copilot Workflow, frontmatter rules, and batch script: **[sync-copilot-prompts.md](sync-copilot-prompts.md)**. Prompt file spec (fields, variables, tips): **[references/prompt-files-spec.md](references/prompt-files-spec.md)**. Batch sync from repo root: `python path/to/skill/scripts/sync_copilot_prompts.py [REPO_ROOT]`. --- ## Reference - Project docs: `src/content/docs/commands.md`, `src/content/docs/skills.md`, `src/content/docs/workflows.md`. --- > Source: [michaellperry/factoryengineering](https://github.com/michaellperry/factoryengineering) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
