✨ What are Skills?
Skills are packaged instructions and resources that extend AI agent capabilities. Think of them as plugins for your AI assistant — they teach your agent new workflows, patterns, and specialized knowledge.

🛡️ Security & Trust
Your environment's safety is our top priority. Unlike open marketplaces where 13.4% of skills contain critical issues, agent-skills is a managed, hardened library: 100% open source (no binaries), static analysis in CI/CD, immutable integrity via lockfiles and content hashing, and human-curated prompts. The CLI uses defense-in-depth (sanitization, path isolation, symlink guards, atomic lockfile, audit trail); every skill is scanned with Snyk Agent Scan (formerly mcp-scan) before publishing.

🚀 Quick Start
Install Skills in Your Project
npx @tech-leads-club/agent-skillsThis launches an interactive wizard:

- Browse & Select — Filter by category or search
- Choose agents — Pick target agents (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
- Installation method — Copy (recommended) or Symlink
- Scope — Global (user home) or Local (project only)
Each step shows a ← Back option to return and revise your choices.

The CLI fetches skills on-demand from our CDN:
- Browse — The CLI fetches the skills catalog (~45KB)
- Select — You choose the skills you need
- Download — Selected skills are downloaded and cached locally
- Install — Skills are installed to your agent's configuration
Caching
Downloaded skills are cached in ~/.cache/agent-skills/ for offline use.
# Clear the cache
rm -rf ~/.cache/agent-skills🔌 MCP Server
@tech-leads-club/agent-skills-mcp is an MCP server that exposes the skills catalog directly to AI agents via progressive disclosure — search first, then fetch only what's needed.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
list_skills |
Browse all skills by category |
search_skills |
Find skills by intent (fuzzy search) |
read_skill |
Load a skill's main instructions |
fetch_skill_files |
Fetch specific reference files |
list_skills should be called only when the user explicitly asks to browse/list the catalog.
Quick install (works with any MCP-compatible client):
{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-skills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@tech-leads-club/agent-skills-mcp"]
}
}
}→ Full setup for all clients (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, etc.), caching, and error reference: packages/mcp/README.md
