All in one Skill manager for AI coding agents. Install, update, and sync Skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot + more.

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (skillfish) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    One command installs to all detected agents on your system.

    What Are Agent Skills?

    Agent Skills are portable packages of instructions, prompts, scripts, and resources that AI coding agents can discover and use. They give agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot domain expertise, reusable workflows, and team-specific context - loaded on demand to extend capabilities.

    Each skill contains a SKILL.md file with structured prompts and instructions the agent can follow.

    Command Reference

    add

    Install skills from a repository.

    skillfish add owner/repo                    # Auto-discover SKILL.md
    skillfish add owner/repo my-skill           # Install by skill name
    skillfish add owner/repo/path/to/skill      # Full path syntax
    skillfish add owner/repo --path skills/foo  # Explicit path
    skillfish add owner/repo --all              # Install all skills
    skillfish add owner/repo --force            # Overwrite existing
    skillfish add owner/repo --yes              # Skip confirmation
    skillfish add owner/repo --project          # Project only (./)
    skillfish add owner/repo --global           # Global only (~/)

    init

    Create a new skill template with SKILL.md and optional directories.

    skillfish init                                  # Interactive skill creation
    skillfish init --name my-skill                  # Specify skill name
    skillfish init --name my-skill --description "Does a thing"  # Non-interactive
    skillfish init --project                        # Create in current project (./)
    skillfish init --global                         # Create in home directory (~/)
    skillfish init --name my-skill --yes            # Skip all prompts
    skillfish init --author "your-name"             # Set author metadata
    skillfish init --license MIT                    # Set license

    Interactive mode prompts for name, description, optional metadata (author, license), optional directories (scripts/, references/, assets/), install location, and target agents.

    list

    View installed skills.

    skillfish list                       # List all installed skills
    skillfish list --global              # Global skills only (~/)
    skillfish list --project             # Project skills only (./)
    skillfish list --agent "Claude Code" # Specific agent

    remove

    Remove installed skills.

    skillfish remove                          # Interactive picker
    skillfish remove my-skill                 # By name
    skillfish remove --all                    # Remove all
    skillfish remove my-skill --project       # Project only
    skillfish remove my-skill --global        # Global only
    skillfish remove my-skill --agent "Cursor" # Specific agent
    skillfish remove my-skill --yes           # Skip confirmation

    update

    Update installed skills to latest version.

    skillfish update                     # Check for updates interactively
    skillfish update --yes               # Update all without prompting
    skillfish update --json              # Check for updates (JSON output)

    Non-Interactive Mode

    All commands work without prompts for use in scripts, CI pipelines, and automation. Non-interactive mode activates when:

    • The --json flag is passed, or
    • stdin is not a TTY (piped input, CI runners, cron jobs)

    In non-interactive mode, commands use default values where possible and error with guidance when required flags are missing.

    Required flags

    Command Required Defaults
    add <owner/repo> + skill name, --path, or --all if repo has multiple skills Location: global (~/), Agents: all detected
    init --name, --description Location: project (./), Agents: all detected
    list (none) Both locations, all agents
    remove Skill name or --all Both locations, all agents
    update --yes to apply updates All tracked skills

    All commands accept --project or --global to override the default location.

    Confirmation behavior

    Confirmation prompts are skipped in non-interactive mode. Commands that modify skills (add, init, remove) proceed automatically. The update command is the exception: --json without --yes runs in check-only mode, reporting outdated skills without applying changes.

    Use --yes to explicitly skip confirmations in interactive mode.

    JSON output

    Pass --json to get structured output on stdout. All commands return a common shape:

    {
      "success": true,
      "exit_code": 0,
      "errors": []
    }

    Each command adds its own fields: installed and skipped (add), created and skipped (init), removed (remove), outdated and updated (update), installed and agents_detected (list).

    Exit codes

    Exit codes are consistent across all commands:

    Code Name Meaning
    0 Success Command completed successfully
    1 General Error Unspecified error
    2 Invalid Args Invalid arguments or options provided
    3 Network Error Network failure (timeout, rate limit)
    4 Not Found Requested resource not found (skill, agent, repo)

    CI example

    # Install skills in CI (non-interactive, JSON output)
    skillfish add owner/repo --yes --json
    
    # Create a skill template in CI
    skillfish init --name my-skill --description "My skill" --project --json
    
    # Check for outdated skills without applying
    skillfish update --json
    
    # Apply updates
    skillfish update --yes --json

    Security

    Skills are markdown files that provide instructions to AI agents. Always review skills before installing. skillfish does not vet third-party skills.
