Agent Skills

Install and sync Agentuity Agent Skills from npm or with the skills CLI

Use agentuity skills to wire Agentuity's npm-distributed Agent Skills into a project. New Agentuity projects include this wiring by default unless created with --no-skills.

You can also install the same skill catalog with the skills CLI from the Git source at agentuity/sdk/skills.

Install Skills in a Project

Run install in a project that has a package.json:

agentuity skills install

The command adds:

File or packagePurpose
@agentuity/skillsBundled Agentuity skill content
skills-npmDiscovers npm-bundled skills and symlinks them for coding agents
skills-npm.config.tsLimits sync to @agentuity/skills
prepare scriptRuns skills-npm --yes after install
.gitignore entriesKeeps generated skill symlinks out of git

It also runs the detected package manager install and syncs skills to local agent directories.

Use setup when you only want to edit project files and run dependency installation yourself:

agentuity skills setup --no-sync
npm install
agentuity skills sync

Install Skills Globally

Install Agentuity skills for all projects on your machine:

agentuity skills install --global

This installs into ~/.agents/skills.

Without the Agentuity CLI, use the same Git source with the skills CLI:

npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --global --yes --agent cline

Use --agent cursor to install into ~/.cursor/skills instead, or pass other --agent values supported by the skills CLI.

Sync and List

Re-sync after installs, lockfile changes, or agent directory cleanup:

agentuity skills sync

List installed bundled skills:

agentuity skills list
agentuity --json skills list

New Projects

Skills are enabled by default in new Agentuity projects:

agentuity create --name my-app --framework nextjs

Skip skill wiring:

agentuity create --name my-app --framework nextjs --no-skills

Manual npm Setup

The CLI install command is equivalent to:

npm install -D @agentuity/skills skills-npm
npx skills-npm --yes

Add skills-npm --yes to your prepare script so skills stay synced after installs.

Manual Git Setup with skills

Install from the Git catalog into the current project:

npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --yes

Install a specific skill:

npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --skill agentuity-ai --yes

Target a specific coding agent in the project:

npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --agent cursor --yes
npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --agent claude-code --yes

List available skills without installing:

npx skills add agentuity/sdk/skills --list
