Vercel Labs open-sources agent skills CLI
Vercel Labs has published an open-source command-line tool, skills, for managing the "agent skills" ecosystem, which it says supports OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and 75-plus other coding agents. Users can install SKILL.md skill packages with npx skills add from GitHub shorthand, full GitHub, GitLab or Azure Repos URLs, any git URL, direct download links or local paths, and can use npx skills use to generate a prompt for a single skill without installing it or to launch a supported agent with that prompt. The CLI also offers list, find, update, remove and init subcommands, project-level or global installation, symlink or copy methods, and reuses existing Git, GitHub CLI or SSH authentication for private repositories.
If widely adopted, a common skill-distribution path would let the same instructions be reused across multiple coding agents instead of being re-adapted per platform.
