⚠️ ARCHIVED — This project has been superseded by Claude Code Plugin Marketplace.

Claude Code now has a built-in Plugin system that covers skillpkg's core functionality:

If you were using skillpkg to install Self-Evolving Agent:

# New method (Plugin)
/plugin marketplace add miles990/evolve-plugin
/plugin install evolve@evolve-plugin

# Old method (deprecated)
# skillpkg install github:miles990/self-evolving-agent

Skills should now be packaged as Claude Code Plugins. See:

• Plugin Documentation
• Example: evolve-plugin

The content below is preserved for historical reference.

Agent Skills Package Manager — Install once, use everywhere.

The package manager for AI agent skills. Works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and any platform that adopts the Agent Skills open standard.

😫 "I have to copy the same skill files to every project"
😫 "My team uses different AI coding tools, skills aren't portable"
😫 "I want AI to learn new skills on-the-fly, but there's no standard way"
😫 "Managing skill dependencies manually is a nightmare"

skillpkg implements the Agent Skills open standard and supports all official adopters:

npm install -g skillpkg-cli

# Search across GitHub, awesome-lists, and local skills
skillpkg search "git commit"

# Example output:
# Found 8 skills:
#   commit-helper  ⭐120  github:anthropics/commit-helper
#   git-expert     ⭐85   github:user/git-skills#expert

# From GitHub
skillpkg install anthropics/commit-helper

# From subdirectory
skillpkg install github:user/repo#skills/my-skill

# Install globally (available in all projects)
skillpkg install -g anthropics/commit-helper

# Sync installed skills to all detected AI platforms
skillpkg sync

# Sync to specific platforms
skillpkg sync --target claude-code,codex,copilot,cursor

• Multi-source search — Search GitHub, awesome-lists, and local skills
• Cross-platform sync — One skill works on Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor
• Full directory support — Skills with scripts, templates, resources fully supported
• Dependency management — Automatic skill & MCP server dependency resolution
• Subpath installation — Install from repo subdirectories: user/repo#path/to/skill
• Project configuration — skillpkg.json for reproducible team setups
• MCP Server — Enable AI agents to install and manage skills autonomously
• Open standard — Based on Agent Skills specification

# GitHub repository
skillpkg install user/repo
skillpkg install github:user/repo

# GitHub subdirectory
skillpkg install github:user/repo#skills/my-skill

# GitHub Gist
skillpkg install gist:abc123def

# Direct URL
skillpkg install https://example.com/SKILL.md

# Local path
skillpkg install ./my-local-skill

The --essential-only option is useful when you only need the core skill instructions without auxiliary files like scripts, templates, or examples. This reduces the installed size and keeps your skills directory lean.

Enable AI agents to search, install, and manage skills via Model Context Protocol.

claude mcp add skillpkg -- npx -y skillpkg-mcp-server

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillpkg": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "skillpkg-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

User: Help me write better git commits

Claude: I'll search for a relevant skill...
        → search_skills("git commit helper")

        Found "commit-helper" - Installing...
        → install_skill("anthropics/commit-helper")

        Loading skill instructions...
        → load_skill("commit-helper")

        Now I can help you write conventional commits!

The Agent Skills open standard uses SKILL.md — Markdown with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: my-skill
version: 1.0.0
description: A helpful skill for X
dependencies:
  skills:
    - github:some/other-skill
  mcp:
    - package: "@some/mcp-server"
---

# My Skill

Instructions for the AI agent...

## When to Use

- Scenario A
- Scenario B

## How to Use

1. Step one
2. Step two

Skills can include additional files:

my-skill/
├── SKILL.md              # Required: skill definition
├── scripts/
│   └── helper.py         # Python scripts
├── templates/
│   └── component.tsx     # Template files
└── examples/
    └── usage.md          # Examples

Create skillpkg.json for team-wide skill management:

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "skills": {
    "commit-helper": "github:anthropics/commit-helper",
    "code-reviewer": "github:my-org/code-reviewer"
  },
  "mcp": {
    "context7": {
      "package": "@context7/mcp-server"
    }
  },
  "sync_targets": {
    "claude-code": true,
    "codex": true,
    "copilot": true,
    "cursor": true
  }
}

Then run skillpkg install to set up the entire team.

# Install your favorite skills globally
skillpkg install -g anthropics/commit-helper
skillpkg install -g my-org/code-reviewer

# They're now available in every project

# Share skillpkg.json in your repo
git add skillpkg.json
git commit -m "Add team AI skills"

# New team members just run:
skillpkg install

# Create skills that work everywhere
skillpkg new my-awesome-skill

# Publish to GitHub, users install with:
skillpkg install your-org/my-awesome-skill

git clone https://github.com/miles990/skillpkg.git
cd skillpkg
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test  # 246 tests
