██ SKILLKIT
Universal Skills for AI Coding Agents
Give your AI agents new abilities with portable, reusable skills. Install from a curated marketplace, create your own, and use them across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and 27 more agents.
What are AI Agent Skills? Skills are instruction files that teach AI coding agents how to handle specific tasks - like processing PDFs, following React best practices, or enforcing security patterns. Think of them as plugins for your AI assistant.
npm install -g skillkitThe problem: You've built amazing skills for Claude Code. Now you want to try Cursor. Or your team uses different agents. Each agent has different formats and directories. Without SkillKit, you either rewrite everything, lock yourself into one agent, or give up on skills entirely.
The solution: SkillKit translates skills between all 32 agents automatically. Write once, use everywhere.

| Feature | Without SkillKit | With SkillKit |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Agent Support | Manual rewrite for each agent | One command, all agents |
| Team Collaboration | Email skills back and forth | Git-based bundles, remote sync |
| Skill Discovery | Search GitHub manually | Smart recommendations for your stack |
| Format Translation | Learn each agent's format | Automatic conversion (32 formats) |
| Context Sync | Configure each agent separately | One config, synced everywhere |
| Session Memory | Knowledge dies with each session | Persistent learning across agents |
| Skill Testing | Hope it works | Test framework with assertions |
# 1. Install SkillKit globally
npm install -g skillkit
# 2. Launch the interactive TUI (easiest way to start)
skillkit
# Or use CLI commands directly:
# 3. Get personalized skill recommendations
skillkit recommend
# 4. Install skills from the marketplace
skillkit install anthropics/skills
# 5. Sync to your AI agent
skillkit syncUse any skill with any agent. SkillKit automatically converts between formats:
# Translate a Claude skill to Cursor format
skillkit translate react-patterns --to cursor
# Translate all your skills to a new agent
skillkit translate --all --to windsurf
# Preview translation without writing
skillkit translate my-skill --to codex --dry-run
# Batch translate from a custom source directory
skillkit agent translate --source ./my-skills --to cursor
# Recursively translate nested agent directories
skillkit agent translate --source ./kubernetes-skills --to cursor --recursiveSupported Agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity, Amp, Clawdbot, Droid, GitHub Copilot, Goose, Kilo, Kiro, Roo, Trae, Windsurf, Universal
SkillKit analyzes your project and suggests the perfect skills:
skillkit recommend
# Project: my-app (Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind)

# Recommended Skills:
# 92% vercel-react-best-practices
# 87% tailwind-v4-patterns
# 85% nextjs-app-router
# 78% typescript-strict-modeFilter by task, category, or minimum score:
skillkit recommend --search "auth" # Task-based search
skillkit recommend --category security # Category filter
skillkit recommend --min-score 80 # Quality thresholdYour AI agents learn, but that knowledge dies with the session. SkillKit captures learnings and makes them persistent:
# Compress session observations into reusable learnings
skillkit memory compress
# Search past learnings
skillkit memory search "authentication patterns"
# Export a learning as a shareable skill
skillkit memory export auth-insight --output auth-patterns.md
# Share memory across projects
skillkit memory --globalBrowse and install from curated skill repositories:
# Browse all available skills
skillkit marketplace
# Search for specific skills
skillkit marketplace search "react hooks"
# Filter by tags
skillkit marketplace --tags typescript,testing
# Refresh the skill index
