skills: The CLI for the open agent skills ecosystem.

What problem it solves

Coding agents need reusable instructions for recurring tasks, but those instructions need to be discovered and installed for the coding agent in use. This project provides a CLI for finding, installing, using, creating, updating, and removing agent skills across supported coding agents.

Key features

  • Install and manage skills — Choose skills and coding agents during installation, with project-wide installation as the default. The CLI also supports listing, updating, removing, and checking installed skills.

    Source: README

  • Discover reusable skills — Search for available skills from the command line and browse through an interactive discovery command.

    Source: README

  • Use skills without installing — Generate a prompt for a skill or launch a supported coding agent with it directly. Omitting the agent option prints the prompt instead.

    Source: README

  • Create and share skills — Create a skill template, then add reusable agent instructions in the generated `SKILL.md` file. Documentation covers the format and discovery rules for sharing skills.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills
npx skills use vercel-labs/agent-skills@web-design-guidelines --agent claude-code

Who it may suit

Inference: may suit developers who want to reuse instructions across coding agents, maintain project-specific agent workflows, or build and share new skills.

Topics to discuss

  • Which agent compatibility or installation-path improvements would be most useful to the community?

  • How should teams version and distribute skills across project and global installations?

  • What workflows should the experimental package synchronization commands support next?
