What is it?
AAS Core is the local, agent-first part of Agentic Awesome Skills, a library of more than 2,700 installable SKILL.md playbooks. It lets a coding agent such as Codex or Claude search the full catalog, read each skill's complete files, and record the exact set it chooses in an aas-stack.json manifest. The project itself does not rank or recommend skills; the agent makes the selection.
The CLI and a local MCP server validate the chosen IDs and structure, then write an immutable plan preview that you can review before any change is made to a target directory. Structural validation does not certify that a skill fits your project or is safe to apply. Apply and recovery are still experimental and sit outside the supported preview.
The same catalog is also available as a direct installer, which copies selected skills into the skill directory of tools such as Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Claude Code and Codex, with dry-run previews and category, risk and tag filters. Specialized plugins bundle skills for domains such as web apps, security, QA and DevOps.

Quick start
- 1
Preview a focused install of selected skills into your skill directory
npm exec --yes --ignore-scripts --package=agentic-awesome-skills@19.11.0 -- agentic-awesome-skills --release 19.11.0 --path .agents/skills --skills brainstorming,systematic-debugging --dry-run - 2
Review the preview, then run the same command without --dry-run when ready
Things to know
- Apply and recovery remain experimental and are outside the supported preview.
- Core does not rank or recommend skills, so the agent or user must choose the exact set.
- Antigravity's skill directory can overload its context, so its default install needs a selected set, filter, or explicit override.
