Agent Skills
Production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents.
Skills encode the workflows, quality gates, and best practices that senior engineers use when building software. These ones are packaged so AI agents follow them consistently across every phase of development.

Commands
7 slash commands that map to the development lifecycle. Each one activates the right skills automatically.
| What you're doing | Command | Key principle |
|-------------------|---------|---------------|
| Define what to build | /spec | Spec before code |
| Plan how to build it | /plan | Small, atomic tasks |
| Build incrementally | /build | One slice at a time |
| Prove it works | /test | Tests are proof |
| Review before merge | /review | Improve code health |
| Simplify the code | /code-simplify | Clarity over cleverness |
| Ship to production | /ship | Faster is safer |
Skills also activate automatically based on what you're doing — designing an API triggers api-and-interface-design, building UI triggers frontend-ui-engineering, and so on.
Quick Start
Claude Code (recommended)
Marketplace install:
/plugin marketplace add addyosmani/agent-skills
/plugin install agent-skills@addy-agent-skills
SSH errors? The marketplace clones repos via SSH. If you don't have SSH keys set up on GitHub, either add your SSH key or switch to HTTPS for fetches only:
git config --global url." "git@github.com:"
Local / development:
git clone
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/agent-skills
Cursor
Copy any SKILL.md into .cursor/rules/, or reference the full skills/ directory. See docs/cursor-setup.md.
Gemini CLI
Install as native skills for auto-discovery, or add to GEMINI.md for persistent context. See docs/gemini-cli-setup.md.
Install from the repo:
gemini skills install --path skills
Install from a local clone:
gemini skills install ./agent-skills/skills/
Windsurf
Add skill contents to your Windsurf rules configuration. See docs/windsurf-setup.md.
OpenCode
Uses agent-driven skill execution via AGENTS.md and the skill tool.
GitHub Copilot
Use agent definitions from agents/ as Copilot personas and skill content in .github/copilot-instructions.md. See docs/copilot-setup.md.
