Skills is a TypeScript‑based CLI that lets you discover, install, and run reusable AI agent capabilities called skills. It can generate prompts or launch supported coding agents interactively with a single command.

Use cases

  • install a reusable skill into an AI coding agent
  • generate a prompt from a skill without installing it
  • run a supported agent (e.g., Claude, Codex) with a skill’s prompt
  • browse and discover community‑contributed skills for AI agents
  • bundle multiple skills into a single install command for private repos

When to choose

  • You need a fast, command‑line way to extend AI agents with procedural knowledge
  • You work in a Node.js environment and prefer npm‑based tooling
  • You want to share or reuse skills across teams via Git repositories

When to avoid

  • You require a graphical UI or integrated development environment
  • Your project is not based on JavaScript/TypeScript and cannot run Node.js tools
  • You need deep custom agent integration beyond what the CLI provides
