@agents-inc/cli
Advanced tools
the CLI for working with Agents Inc. skills. it's the entry point for everything: installing skills, creating stacks, and creating custom skills and subagents
npx @agents-inc/cli init
Claude Code is okay out of the box, but it doesn't know your stack. the skills repository has 80+ in-depth modules covering react, hono, drizzle, posthog, and a lot more. each skill is atomic, comprehensive, and composable into agents and stacks
the CLI is how you work with all of it:
# run the wizard - picks skills, sets up agents
npx @agents-inc/cli init
# or install globally
npm install -g @agents-inc/cli
requires node 18+ and Claude Code.

a skill is focused knowledge for one technology. not surface-level docs but actual patterns, edge cases, the things you'd normally have to explain repeatedly
skills live in the agents-inc/skills repository, organized by category:
| category | what's there |
|---|---|
| web | react, vue, angular, solidjs, next.js, remix, nuxt, scss-modules, cva, zustand, pinia, ngrx-signalstore, jotai, react-query, swr, trpc, graphql, react-hook-form, zod, shadcn-ui, radix-ui, tanstack-table, vitest, playwright, cypress, msw, framer-motion, storybook, accessibility |
| api | hono, express, fastify, drizzle, prisma, better-auth, posthog, resend, axiom+pino+sentry, github-actions |
| mobile | react-native, expo |
| cli | commander, oclif+ink |
| infra | turborepo, tooling, env config |
| meta | code reviewing, research methodology, investigation requirements, anti-over-engineering, context management |
stacks bundle skills together with pre-configured agents. instead of picking 20 skills individually, grab a stack that matches your setup:
each stack includes agents like web-developer, api-developer, web-reviewer, web-tester, web-researcher, pattern-scout, documentor - roles that use the right skills for the job.
the wizard starts by asking how you want to set up:
use a stack (default):
npx @agents-inc/cli init
# select "Use a stack" → pick a pre-built stack (e.g. nextjs-fullstack)
# installs as a native Claude Code plugin to ./.claude/plugins/agents-inc/
# you can customize skills after selecting a stack
start from scratch (pick individual skills):
npx @agents-inc/cli init
# select "Start from scratch" → browse domains and pick skills one by one
# installs locally to ./.claude/skills/ in your repo
both modes compile agents and generate a config at .claude-src/config.yaml. use agentsinc edit to change skills after initial setup.
you can install skills from multiple sources. the wizard supports adding extra marketplaces alongside the default source:
G in the wizard to open source settingsgithub:your-org/custom-marketplace)you can also manage sources after setup with agentsinc edit (same G hotkey).
to search across all configured sources:
# interactive search across all sources
agentsinc search
# static search with a query
agentsinc search react
import skills from any GitHub repository into your local setup:
# list available skills from a repository
agentsinc import skill github:vercel-labs/agent-skills --list
# import a specific skill
agentsinc import skill github:vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill react-best-practices
# import all skills from a repository
agentsinc import skill github:vercel-labs/agent-skills --all
imported skills are copied to .claude/skills/ and tracked with metadata for future updates.
if the existing skills don't cover what you need:
npx @agents-inc/cli new skill my-custom-skill
this scaffolds the structure. a skill is just markdown with examples - no special tooling required.
built with TypeScript (strict mode), oclif for commands, Ink (React) for terminal UI, Zod for runtime validation, and Zustand for wizard state. the core pipeline:
source resolution → skill loading → matrix merging → wizard selection → config generation → agent compilation → installation
the codebase is organized into domain-driven library modules (agents/, configuration/, loading/, matrix/, plugins/, skills/, stacks/, installation/) with barrel exports. agents are compiled from YAML definitions + markdown partials through Liquid templates.
