A TypeScript CLI (npx skills) for the open agent skills ecosystem, letting users discover, install, and run reusable 'skills' (procedural knowledge packages) for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 70+ others. It supports installing from GitHub/GitLab/git URLs or local paths, private repo auth, and a public skills.sh leaderboard/directory.

Use cases

  • install reusable skills into my AI coding agent
  • share a bundle of agent skills with one install command
  • run a skill prompt without installing it
  • find the most popular skills for Claude Code or Cursor
  • install skills from a private GitHub repository
  • add an install-count badge for my skill repo

When to choose

  • you use a supported AI coding agent and want to extend it with community skills
  • you want a package-manager-like workflow for agent capabilities
  • you need to distribute skills across public and private git sources

When to avoid

  • your agent is not among the supported list
  • you need fully offline skill management without git/npm
  • you require guaranteed vetting of third-party skill content
