Skills is a command-line tool that lets you add reusable instructions (skills) to AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. You can install skills from GitHub, GitLab, or local folders, and use them to guide your AI assistant on specific tasks like web design or best practices. It simplifies sharing and managing prompts across different AI tools.
Skills is the official CLI for the open agent skills ecosystem, designed to help developers install, manage, and use reusable skill prompts with various AI coding agents. It supports over 70 agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot. With Skills, you can add skills from remote sources (GitHub, GitLab, any git URL) or local directories, list available skills, and install them globally or per project. The tool also allows you to use a skill without installing it by generating a prompt that can be piped directly into an agent. Skills aims to standardize and simplify the process of sharing and applying best practices, design guidelines, and custom instructions across the AI coding ecosystem.
