Tips by platform

Claude

In Claude, paste the full AI agent as your first message or add it to Project instructions, then ask Claude to confirm assumptions before it executes. For longer AI agents, iterate inside the artifact panel.

ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, start a fresh chat and paste this AI agent verbatim, then follow up with "apply this to [your context]." Pick a current GPT model for coding or reasoning tasks.

Cursor

In Cursor, lift the key instructions from this AI agent into .cursorrules or a SKILL.md file, then reference it in Agent mode with @ mentions. Keep the title in a comment so teammates can find it on OpenRuna.
