What is ai-agent-skills?

kevinnft/ai-agent-skills is a plugin of skills and agents for Claude Code, Hermes Agent and Cursor, with attribution to upstream sources. It adds a searchable catalog and one installer, with skills such as code-review-and-quality for review before merging and browser-testing-with-devtools for debugging browser code.

Does ai-agent-skills auto-invoke its skills?

Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin.

Is ai-agent-skills free?

Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.

Which coding agents can use ai-agent-skills's skills?

ai-agent-skills installs in Claude Code, and its skills also install in Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI. Each skill's page has the install command. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.

/api-and-interface-designGuides stable API and interface design. Use when designing APIs, module boundaries, or any public interface. Use when creating REST or GraphQL endpoints, defining type contracts between modules, or establishing boundaries between frontend and backend./browser-testing-with-devtoolsTests in real browsers.

Use when setting up or modifying build and deployment pipelines. Use when you need to automate quality gates, configure test runners in CI, or establish deployment strategies./code-review-and-qualityConducts multi-axis code review. Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main branch./code-simplificationSimplifies code for clarity. Use when refactoring code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when code works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity./context-engineeringOptimizes agent context setup. Use when starting a new session, when agent output quality degrades, when switching between tasks, or when you need to configure rules files and context for a project.

/debugging-and-error-recoveryGuides systematic root-cause debugging. Use when tests fail, builds break, behavior doesn't match expectations, or you encounter any unexpected error. Use when you need a systematic approach to finding and fixing the root cause rather than guessing.

/deprecation-and-migrationManages deprecation and migration. Use when removing old systems, APIs, or features. Use when migrating users from one implementation to another. Use when deciding whether to maintain or sunset existing code.

🤔 What are agent skills?

Agent skills are instruction files that teach AI coding agents how to do specific tasks. Think of them like recipes — each SKILL.md file contains step-by-step procedures, best practices, and pitfalls for a particular workflow (debugging, code review, deploying, etc.).

When you give your AI agent access to these files, it can:

Follow proven workflows instead of improvising
Avoid common mistakes documented in the skill
Use the right tools and commands for each task
Work more consistently across sessions

No code to install, no dependencies. Skills are just markdown files your agent reads. Drop them in a folder, point your agent at it, done.

Which agents support this?

Any agent that reads markdown instruction files:

Hermes Agent — ~/.hermes/skills/
Claude Code — ~/.claude/skills/
Cursor — ~/.cursor/skills/
OpenCode, Windsurf, Cline — configure your skills directory
Any custom agent — just point it at the folder

Derivative work, full attribution. Most skill content was authored by other people in their public repos. The value-add here is the aggregation, categorization, conflict detection, validation tooling, attribution metadata, and a portable installer. The named upstream authors did not contribute to or endorse this repo — see NOTICE and per-skill source_url: frontmatter.

📦 Quick start

🜲 Hermes Agent

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/kevinnft/ai-agent-skills.git
cd ai-agent-skills && ./scripts/install.sh

🟧 Claude Code

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/kevinnft/ai-agent-skills.git
cd ai-agent-skills && ./scripts/install.sh --agent claude --preset developer

🟦 Cursor

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/kevinnft/ai-agent-skills.git
cd ai-agent-skills && ./scripts/install.sh --agent cursor --preset developer

🟪 Anything else

./scripts/install.sh --agent custom --target /path/to/your/agent/skills --preset minimal

🐍 Windows (no WSL)

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/kevinnft/ai-agent-skills.git
cd ai-agent-skills && python scripts/install.py

Installer flags

./scripts/install.sh --list                  # browse all categories
./scripts/install.sh --list-presets          # browse curated starter packs
./scripts/install.sh --preset developer      # 5-category dev bundle (~92 skills)
./scripts/install.sh --preset minimal        # just superpowers (14 skills)
./scripts/install.sh --category superpowers  # install one category
./scripts/install.sh --dry-run --preset full # preview without copying
./scripts/install.sh --validate              # lint frontmatter
./scripts/install.sh --help

Curated starter packs

Preset	Categories	Approx size
`developer`	superpowers, software-development, addyosmani, mattpocock, github	~92
`researcher`	research, mlops, data-science, note-taking	~29
`content-creator`	creative, media, social-media, productivity	~37
`devops`	devops, github, mcp, autonomous-ai-agents	~24
`agentic`	superpowers, autonomous-ai-agents, mcp, red-teaming	~20
`minimal`	superpowers	14

Uninstalling

./scripts/uninstall.sh --preset minimal       # remove a preset
./scripts/uninstall.sh --category creative    # remove one category
./scripts/uninstall.sh --all --dry-run        # preview a full wipe
./scripts/uninstall.sh --help

A timestamped backup is created before each removal unless you pass --no-backup.

Tip: start with one preset. --preset minimal is the smallest meaningful slice. If you like the way the agentic loop feels, scale up with --preset developer or another category. Prefer the installer over raw cp -r so duplicate names and submodules are handled correctly.

Dual-use / red-team skills

A small number of skills document security research or dual-use workflows (notably red-teaming/godmode). They are opt-in:

Not required for normal coding/research presets (minimal, developer, researcher, content-creator, devops)
Included only via --category red-teaming or --preset agentic
Review the skill body before enabling, and only use against systems you own or are authorized to test

See SECURITY.md for reporting and dual-use guidance.
