## In short

A CLI and community directory for managing reusable agent skills — instruction sets you install with npx into Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, and 40+ other coding tools. 15.5k GitHub stars, trending today.

## What it is

vercel-labs/skills is an open-source package manager for agent skills — portable SKILL.md files that define reusable behaviors you can install into any of 45+ supported coding agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Cline, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI. The companion directory at skills.sh lists 91,000+ community skills you can install in one command.

## How it works

Each skill lives in a directory with a SKILL.md file (YAML frontmatter + instructions). You install a skill with `npx skills add owner/repo`, which clones the skill into your project or global config. The agent picks it up as part of its system context. Skills can be project-scoped or global, and the CLI handles versioning, updates, and listing.

## Why it matters

Coding agent instructions are currently scattered across dotfiles, system prompts, and README snippets — not shareable or versioned. Skills gives practitioners a package manager for that knowledge: install once, use everywhere, update with one command.

## Who it's for

Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, or any of 45 supported coding agents

## Try it

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills
