Historique du projet

Vercel Labs created Skills as an open CLI and ecosystem for discovering, installing, using, updating, and removing reusable AI-agent skills. It accepts GitHub shorthand, GitHub and GitLab repositories, general Git URLs, local paths, direct `SKILL.md` files, archives, well-known providers, and skills.sh packs.

The ecosystem grew beyond installation into catalog search, anonymous install telemetry, popularity rankings, public and private packs, temporary one-shot skill use, and APIs for programmatic discovery.

Historique d'adoption

The official README reports support for OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more than 70 additional agents. Its cross-agent installation design uses a canonical skill copy with optional symlinks or independent copies in agent-specific directories.

skills.sh adds discovery, install counts, rankings based on anonymous CLI telemetry, and shareable packs, turning the CLI into both a package installer and the client for a broader agent-capability catalog.

Modes d'utilisation

Users commonly run `skills add` to inspect and install selected skills, `skills use` for temporary prompt generation or an interactive agent session, `skills find` for discovery, and `skills list`, `update`, or `remove` for lifecycle management.

Installation defaults to project scope; `--global` targets the user scope. Users may select particular agents and skills, install everything non-interactively, and choose symlinks or copied files.

The CLI stores global installation/update metadata in `.skill-lock.json`. If `XDG_STATE_HOME` is set, the documented implementation uses `$XDG_STATE_HOME/skills/.skill-lock.json`; otherwise it uses `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json`.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

For package enthusiasts, Skills applies familiar ecosystem mechanics—source resolution, project and global scopes, lock metadata, updates, removal, search, archives, Git URLs, and registries—to portable AI-agent instructions. Its interesting twist is that the installed artifact is usually a directory centered on `SKILL.md`, rather than a conventional executable library.

The package also exposes the interoperability problem directly: one source skill can be linked or copied into the layouts expected by many different agents, making it a compatibility layer as much as a downloader.

Chronologie

• 2025: skills.sh recorded early public agent-skill listings and began surfacing install activity.
• 2026: Official documentation described a mature catalog, packs, API, anonymous rankings, and support for a large range of agents.
• 2026: Lock-file schema version 3 tracked source metadata and full skill-folder hashes for update detection.

Related projects

• skills.sh: the official catalog, documentation, leaderboard, pack service, and API used with the CLI.
• Agent Skills repositories: source repositories containing one or more directories built around a `SKILL.md` manifest and instructions.
• Supported coding agents, including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode, consume installed skills through their respective filesystem layouts.
