This project provides a universal installer and curated catalog for AI agent skills, addressing the fragmentation of skill management across various AI coding agents. It benefits developers and users by simplifying the discovery, installation, and management of skills that adhere to an open standard specification, enhancing agent capabilities across a wide range of platforms.

How It Works

The project leverages Node Package Execute (npx) to offer a command-line interface for managing AI agent skills. It acts as a "Homebrew" for skills, allowing users to install skills from a curated catalog, directly from GitHub repositories, or from local paths. Skills are automatically placed in the correct directories for compatible agents, ensuring seamless integration without manual configuration. The core advantage lies in its adherence to the open Agent Skills specification, promoting interoperability.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: npx ai-agent-skills <command> (e.g., browse, install, list).
• Prerequisites: Node.js and npm (required for npx).
• Links:
  • Agent Skills Spec: https://github.com/skillcreatorai/Ai-Agent-Skills/blob/main/docs/spec.md
  • Browse Skills: https://github.com/skillcreatorai/Ai-Agent-Skills/blob/main/docs/browse.md
  • Create Skills: https://github.com/skillcreatorai/Ai-Agent-Skills/blob/main/docs/create.md (waitlist)

Highlighted Details

• Supports a broad range of AI agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, VS Code/Copilot, Goose, Letta, OpenCode, and Claude.ai.
• Offers a curated catalog spanning Development, Documents, Creative, Business, and Productivity skill categories.
• Enables installation from a central catalog, any GitHub repository (including specific skills), or local file paths.
• Automatically installs skills to agent-specific directories (e.g., ~/.claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/).

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by SkillCreator.ai, with community engagement encouraged through opening issues for bugs/requests and following @skillcreatorai on Twitter. Contribution guidelines are available in CONTRIBUTING.md. The project acknowledges and builds upon work from Anthropic and the open-source community.

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not explicitly state a software license. Compatibility is a key feature, with direct support listed for numerous popular AI agents.

Limitations & Caveats

The "Create Skills" feature is currently on a waitlist. The system relies on a Node.js environment due to the use of npx. The absence of a stated software license may pose a barrier for certain adoption scenarios, particularly concerning commercial use or derivative works.
