Install Skills to Agent
Installation Methods
Method 1: Symlink from This Vault (Recommended)
Link a skill from this vault to Claude Code's skill directory:
bash
ln -s /path/to/Agent-Skills/skills/my-skill ~/.claude/skills/my-skillBatch-link all skills:
bash
cd /path/to/Agent-Skills
for skill in skills/*/; do
name=$(basename "$skill")
ln -s "$(pwd)/$skill" "$HOME/.claude/skills/$name"
doneMethod 2: npx skills CLI
Install skills from GitHub using Vercel's CLI tool:
bash
# Search for skills
npx skills find react performance
# Install from a GitHub repo
npx skills add owner/repo
# Install a specific skill
npx skills add owner/repo --skill frontend-design
# Target a specific agent
npx skills add owner/repo -a claude-code
# Global install
npx skills add owner/repo -g
# List installed
npx skills list
# Remove
npx skills remove my-skillMethod 3: Manual Copy
Copy the skill folder directly:
bash
cp -r skills/my-skill ~/.claude/skills/my-skillSimple but loses the live-link benefit — changes to the vault won't be reflected.
Supported Agents
Skills follow the agentskills.io open standard and work across:
| Agent | Skill Directory |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ |
| OpenAI Codex | .codex/skills/ (project-level) |
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | .gemini/skills/ |
Verify Installation
After installing, open your agent and test with a prompt that should trigger the skill. For example:
- code-reviewer: "Review this pull request"
- nestjs-expert: "Create a NestJS module for user management"
- i18n-expert: "Set up i18n for this React project"
The skill name should appear in the agent's system prompt or skill loading log.
Uninstall
bash
# Remove symlink (vault files stay intact)
rm ~/.claude/skills/my-skill
# Or with npx
npx skills remove my-skill
