Advanced tools
Install agent skills onto coding agents (OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)
A fork of vercel-labs/add-skill designed for direct, clean skill installation.
Install agent skills directly to your project without intermediate caches or symlinks. Perfect for single-agent workflows like Antigravity.
Supports Antigravity, Opencode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 12 more.
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills
Agent skills are reusable instruction sets that extend your coding agent's capabilities. They're defined in SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter containing a name and description.
Skills let agents perform specialized tasks like:
The <source> argument accepts multiple formats:
# GitHub shorthand
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills
# Full GitHub URL
npx equip-skill https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills
# Direct path to a skill in a repo
npx equip-skill https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/frontend-design
# GitLab URL
npx equip-skill https://gitlab.com/org/repo
# Any git URL
npx equip-skill git@github.com:vercel-labs/agent-skills.git
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-g, --global | Install to user directory instead of project |
-a, --agent <agents...> | Target specific agents (e.g., claude-code, codex). See Available Agents |
-s, --skill <skills...> | Install specific skills by name |
-l, --list | List available skills without installing |
-y, --yes | Skip all confirmation prompts |
-V, --version | Show version number |
-h, --help | Show help |
# List skills in a repository
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills --list
# Install multiple specific skills
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill frontend-design --skill skill-creator
# Install to specific agents
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills -a claude-code -a opencode
# Non-interactive installation (CI/CD friendly)
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill frontend-design -g -a claude-code -y
# Install all skills from a repo
npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills -y -g
Skills can be installed to any of these supported agents. Use -g, --global to install to the global path instead of project-level.

[!NOTE] Kiro CLI users: After installing skills, you need to manually add them to your custom agent's
resourcesin.kiro/agents/<agent>.json:{ "resources": ["skill://.kiro/skills/**/SKILL.md"] }
The CLI automatically detects which coding agents you have installed by checking for their configuration directories. If none are detected, you'll be prompted to select which agents to install to.
Skills are directories containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it
---
# My Skill
Instructions for the agent to follow when this skill is activated.
## When to Use
Describe the scenarios where this skill should be used.
## Steps
1. First, do this
2. Then, do that
name: Unique identifier (lowercase, hyphens allowed)description: Brief explanation of what the skill doesThe CLI searches for skills in these locations within a repository:
SKILL.md)skills/skills/.curated/skills/.experimental/skills/.system/.agents/skills/.agent/skills/.claude/skills/./skills/.codex/skills/.cursor/skills/.factory/skills/.gemini/skills/.github/skills/.goose/skills/.kilocode/skills/.kiro/skills/.opencode/skills/.roo/skills/.trae/skills/.windsurf/skills/If no skills are found in standard locations, a recursive search is performed.
Skills are generally compatible across agents since they follow a shared Agent Skills specification. However, some features may be agent-specific:
| Feature | OpenCode | Claude Code | Codex | Kiro CLI | Cursor | Antigravity | Roo Code | Github Copilot | Amp | Clawdbot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic skills | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
allowed-tools | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
context: fork | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Hooks | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |
Ensure the repository contains valid SKILL.md files with both name and description in the frontmatter.
SKILL.md frontmatter is valid YAMLEnsure you have write access to the target directory.
This CLI collects anonymous usage data to help improve the tool. No personal information is collected.
To disable telemetry, set either of these environment variables:
DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills
# or
DO_NOT_TRACK=1 npx equip-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills
Telemetry is also automatically disabled in CI environments.
