✨ What is Master Skills

One source of truth for agent skills. Instead of juggling scattered, inconsistent collections, you get a single clean catalog — deduplicated, domain-organized, and indexed.

Master Skills is a standardized catalog of 2,658 AI-agent skills, sorted into 15 normalized domains. Every skill is runtime-agnostic — it works with Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, and anything else that loads SKILL.md skills. Each one has a stable id, version, domain, and slash trigger, all described in one authoritative manifest: skills_index.json.

⚡ Install — choose your tool

One command installs the skills into the path your host expects:

Tool	Install	First use
Claude Code	npx master-skills --claude	/<skill> … (or the Claude plugin marketplace)
Cursor	npx master-skills --cursor	@<skill> …
Gemini CLI	npx master-skills --gemini	Use <skill> to …
Codex CLI	npx master-skills --codex	Use <skill> to …
Antigravity IDE	npx master-skills --antigravity	@<skill> …
Antigravity CLI (agy)	npx master-skills --agy	/<skill> …
Kiro	npx master-skills --kiro	@<skill> …
OpenCode	npx master-skills --opencode	opencode run @<skill> …
AdaL CLI	npx master-skills --adal	Use <skill> to …
Custom path	npx master-skills --path ./my-skills	depends on your tool

Filter what gets installed:

npx master-skills --claude --category security,backend   # only those domains
npx master-skills --cursor --risk safe,none              # only low-risk skills
npx master-skills --list                                 # show all categories
npx master-skills --path ./skills --dry-run              # preview, write nothing

Default tool paths are best-effort — if your host stores skills elsewhere, use --path.

Or clone and point your agent's loader at skills/ directly. No build step, no dependencies. ✅

🧩 Install as a plugin (Claude · Codex · Antigravity)

Master Skills ships as one plugin with a manifest for each platform, so the same catalog installs everywhere:

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add sinhoneyy/master-skills
/plugin install master-skills@master-skills

Codex — point Codex at the repo; it reads .codex-plugin/plugin.json (skills → ./skills/).

Antigravity — add the repo as a plugin source; it reads .agents/plugins/marketplace.json.

Platform	Manifest	Bundles?
Claude Code	.claude-plugin/marketplace.json + plugin.json	✅ all-skills + 10 themed
Antigravity	.agents/plugins/marketplace.json	✅ all-skills + 10 themed
Codex	.codex-plugin/plugin.json	single full plugin (Codex uses one plugin; filter by category)

Themed bundles

Prefer a focused set over all 2,658? Install just the role bundle you need (Claude & Antigravity):

/plugin install master-skills-security-engineer@master-skills
/plugin install master-skills-frontend-designer@master-skills

Bundle	Skills	Domains
master-skills-integrations	812	integrations
master-skills-ai-agent-builder	388	agents · ai-ml · prompt-engineering
master-skills-backend-engineer	310	backend · data-db
master-skills-frontend-designer	227	web-frontend · design-ux
master-skills-devops-cloud	160	devops-cloud
master-skills-marketing-growth	123	content-marketing
master-skills-security-engineer	98	security
master-skills-qa-testing	53	testing
master-skills-productivity	52	productivity
master-skills-mobile-developer	14	mobile

The full master-skills plugin (all 2,658) remains installable on its own.

▶️ Using a skill

1.  Find it      →  search skills_index.json by id / trigger / category
2.  Open it      →  go to its "path", e.g. skills/api-design-principles/
3.  Invoke it    →  use its "trigger" (/api-design-principles) in your agent

Each skill keeps its full payload — SKILL.md, references, scripts, examples — exactly as published. Or just point your runtime's skill loader at the whole skills/ directory.

❓ FAQ

🤝 Contributing

PRs are welcome! Good first contributions:

• ➕ Add new skills as skills/<id>/SKILL.md (set the domain via frontmatter)
• 🏷️ Improve domain classification so fewer skills land in general
• 🧪 Add manifest validation or search tooling

Every PR is automatically checked: the manifest is validated against the tree, and changed SKILL.md files are linted for structure — results posted right on your PR.
