It follows official standards and works for both local and global installation. Built-in validation and packaging helpers catch common metadata and folder structure mistakes. Read the full guide before use—it covers mandatory prerequisites, scope boundaries and verification steps. The skill's output is not final: verify compatibility with your target platform and environment separately. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-creator -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/skill-creator/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-creator -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-creator -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills skill-creator ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-creator -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --path skills/skill-creator ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill skill-creator -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md ## When to use it - Create a new skill to extend IDE or CLI functionality - Package domain knowledge into a reusable skill format - Automate repetitive tasks with a custom skill - Validate skill metadata before publishing - Install a skill locally or globally in your IDE ## Example prompts - Create a skill to automate Docker deployment workflows - Validate frontmatter for a new skill draft - Package a skill and install it into Claude Code ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.
