What is it?
Agent Skills is a catalog of packaged instructions and resources, called skills, that teach AI coding agents specific workflows, patterns and domain knowledge. Each skill is a folder centered on a SKILL.md file, optionally with templates and reference documents loaded on demand. The project is published as the @tech-leads-club/agent-skills npm package.
The included CLI runs an interactive wizard or direct commands to list, install, update and remove skills, choosing target agents, copy or symlink installation, and global or project scope. Skills are fetched from a CDN and cached locally. An MCP server, @tech-leads-club/agent-skills-mcp, exposes the same catalog to agents through search and read tools.
The maintainers emphasize security: skills are scanned with Snyk Agent Scan before publishing, the CLI uses lockfiles and content hashing, and an audit log records operations.
Key features
- 01Installs skills into Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline and other supported agents.
- 02Interactive wizard or CLI commands to list, install, update and remove skills.
- 03Copy or symlink installation, with global or project-local scope.
- 04MCP server for searching and reading skills directly from an agent.
- 05Lockfile, content hashing and audit log for installed skills.
Use cases
- Adding a spec-driven planning workflow or AWS architecture guidance to Claude Code or Cursor.
- Giving a team a shared, reviewed set of coding guidelines installed across several agents.
- Letting an agent discover and load relevant skills on demand through the MCP server.
Quick start
- 1
Run the interactive installer with npx
npx @tech-leads-club/agent-skills - 2
Or install the CLI globally with npm
npm install -g @tech-leads-club/agent-skills - 3
Install a specific skill to your agents
agent-skills install -s tlc-spec-driven
Things to know
- The CLI requires Node.js 22 or newer.
- Skills have mixed licenses: maintainer skills are CC-BY-4.0, and third-party skills keep their original licenses.
