# skills
The CLI for the open agent skills ecosystem.
Agent skills are reusable instructions that teach coding agents how to perform tasks,
from reviewing code to working with a library. Discover skills at skills.sh.
Supports **OpenCode**, **Claude Code**, **Codex**, **Cursor**, and 75 more.
## Install a Skill
Requires Node.js 22.20 or later. Run this from your project:
 [code] 
Choose the skills and coding agents to install to. Skills are installed to the current
project by default; add `-g` to make them available across projects.
 [code] 
See the installation reference for source formats,
private repositories, and all options.
## Other Commands
| Command | Description |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `npx skills find [query]` | Search for skills |
| `npx skills list` | List installed skills |
| `npx skills use @ ` | Use one skill without installing |
| `npx skills experimental_sync` | Sync skills from npm dependencies (experimental) |
| `npx skills check` | Check for available updates |
| `npx skills update [skills...]` | Update installed skills |
| `npx skills remove [skills...]` | Remove installed skills |
| `npx skills init [name]` | Create a skill template |
Read the CLI reference or run `npx skills --help` for examples and options.
## Use a Skill Without Installing
Generate a prompt for a skill, or launch a supported coding agent with it:
 [code] 
Omit `--agent` to print the prompt instead. See `skills use`.
## Sync Skills from npm Packages (Experimental)
Some npm packages bundle instructions for your agent alongside their code:
 [code] 
Sync links packaged skills into your project so they update with
the dependency. It also supports skill packs declared in `package.json`.
This feature is experimental; its options and behavior may change as we iterate.
See npm skills and automatic setup.
## Supported Agents
The CLI detects installed agents and lets you choose where skills are installed.
See all supported agents, installation paths, and compatibility.
## Creating Skills
 [code] 
Edit the generated `SKILL.md` with instructions for your agent.
See creating and sharing skills for the format and discovery rules.
## Documentation
- CLI reference: installation, command examples, and experimental features
- Supported agents: agent names, skill directories, and compatibility
- Creating skills: frontmatter, repository layouts, and plugins
- Troubleshooting and configuration: common problems, environment variables, and telemetry
## Telemetry
The CLI collects anonymous usage data. Set `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`
to disable telemetry and security-audit requests.
