Node.js needs to be on your PATH for the hook-based hosts below — if it isn’t, the skills still work, the always-on activation just stays quiet instead of erroring on every prompt.

​
Claude Code

Two separate prompts:

​
Codex

Run codex and open /hooks to review and trust the two lifecycle hooks (reused from Claude Code’s hooks/claude-hooks.json).

​
Gemini CLI

Gemini has no hook system, so it loads AGENTS.md as always-on context instead of switching modes — the screen always applies.

​
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline

None of these three run hooks either. Copy the matching rules file into your project:
  • Cursor: .cursor/rules/margaret.mdc
  • Windsurf: .windsurf/rules/margaret.md
  • Cline: .clinerules/margaret.md

​
GitHub Copilot / Qoder

Reference-only, not a packaged install: hooks/copilot-hooks.json and hooks/qoder-hooks.json document the hook shape those tools expect. Wire them into that tool’s own settings by hand.

​
First run

Once installed, /margaret is active at level full from the start of every session (hook-based hosts). Try:
for the full reference card, or just start coding — the persona is already applying the screen.

​
Uninstall

Removing the plugin (marketplace remove / delete the checkout) doesn’t touch state margaret wrote elsewhere: the mode flag, ~/.config/margaret/config.json, and (if wired up) a statusLine entry in ~/.claude/settings.json. Run this before removing the plugin — the script is itself a plugin file:
It only removes the statusLine segment it owns, so a statusline combined with another plugin’s is left otherwise intact.
