What it is

A Node.js CLI for finding, installing, updating, and removing agent skills, the SKILL.md instruction files that teach coding agents specific tasks. It detects which agents are installed, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode, and places skills in the right directory per project or globally. Developers can also run a skill once without installing it, scaffold a new skill from a template, and sync skills bundled inside npm dependencies.
