5,200+ GitHub stars — the most comprehensive open-source Claude Code skills & agent plugins library.

What Are Claude Code Skills & Agent Plugins?

Claude Code skills (also called agent skills or coding agent plugins) are modular instruction packages that give AI coding agents domain expertise they don't have out of the box. Each skill includes:

  • SKILL.md — structured instructions, workflows, and decision frameworks
  • Python tools — 579 CLI scripts (all stdlib-only, zero pip installs)
  • Reference docs — 702 templates, checklists, and domain-specific knowledge files

One repo, thirteen platforms. Works natively as Claude Code plugins, Codex agent skills, Gemini CLI skills, Hermes Agent skills, Mistral Vibe skills, and converts to more tools via scripts/convert.sh. All 579 Python tools run anywhere Python runs.

Multi-Tool Support (New)

Convert all 345 skills to 9 AI coding tools with a single script:

ToolFormatInstall
Cursor.mdc rules./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor --target .
AiderCONVENTIONS.md./scripts/install.sh --tool aider --target .
Kilo Code.kilocode/rules/./scripts/install.sh --tool kilocode --target .
Windsurf.windsurf/skills/./scripts/install.sh --tool windsurf --target .

Antigravity~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/./scripts/install.sh --tool antigravity
Hermes Agent~/.hermes/skills/python scripts/sync-hermes-skills.py --verbose
Mistral Vibe~/.vibe/skills/./scripts/vibe-install.sh

How it works:

# 1. Convert all skills to all tools (takes ~15 seconds)
./scripts/convert.sh --tool all

# 2. Install into your project (with confirmation)
./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor --target /path/to/project

# Or use --force to skip confirmation:
./scripts/install.sh --tool aider --target . --force

# 3. Verify
find .cursor/rules -name "*.mdc" | wc -l  # Should show 346

Each tool gets:

  • ✅ All 345 skills converted to native format
  • ✅ Per-tool README with install/verify/update steps
  • ✅ Support for scripts, references, templates where applicable
  • ✅ Zero manual conversion work

Run ./scripts/convert.sh --tool all to generate tool-specific outputs locally.

Footnotes

  1. Hermes Agent is BYO-sync tier: the repo ships a pre-generated .hermes/skills/claude-skills/ tree, but you run python scripts/sync-hermes-skills.py once locally to install into ~/.hermes/skills/. Uses the same agentskills.io SKILL.md standard — no format conversion. ↩

  2. Mistral Vibe is also BYO-sync tier: the repo ships a pre-generated .vibe/skills/claude-skills/ tree, run ./scripts/vibe-install.sh once locally to install into ~/.vibe/skills/. Same agentskills.io SKILL.md standard — no format conversion. Docs: https://docs.mistral.ai/mistral-vibe/agents-skills. ↩
