✨ What Is OpenSkills?

OpenSkills brings **Anthropic's skills system** to every AI coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, Codex, and anything that can read `AGENTS.md`.

**Think of it as the universal installer for SKILL.md.**

---

🚀 Quick Start

npx openskills install anthropics/skills
npx openskills sync

By default, installs are project-local (`./.claude/skills`, or `./.agent/skills` with `--universal`). Use `--global` for `~/.claude/skills`.

✅ Why OpenSkills

• Exact Claude Code compatibility — same prompt format, same marketplace, same folder structure
• Universal — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, Codex, and more
• Progressive disclosure — load skills only when needed (keeps context clean)
• Repo-friendly — skills live in your project and can be versioned
• Private friendly — install from local paths or private git repos

🧠 How It Works

Claude Code System Prompt (Skills)

Claude Code ships skills as **SKILL.md files** and exposes them inside a `` block. When the user asks for a task, Claude dynamically loads the matching skill.
