skills CLI

skills (npm skills, repo vercel-labs/skills, index at skills.sh) installs SKILL.md folders from any git source into the skill directory of ~70 coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and the rest. One canonical copy, symlinked into each agent, so a skill written once is available everywhere.

Run it with npx skills <command>. The CLI's own --help is the source of truth for flags; this document carries what --help does not confess.

Commands
