SkillKit is the open source package manager for AI agent skills. Write a skill once, deploy it to 44 agents — Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Devin, Codex, and 38 more. No rewrites. 15,000+ skills in the marketplace.

Skills make AI coding agents smarter. But every agent uses a different format:
| Agent | Format | Directory |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | SKILL.md |
.claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | .mdc |
.cursor/skills/ |
| Copilot | Markdown | .github/skills/ |
| Windsurf | Markdown | .windsurf/skills/ |
You end up rewriting the same skill for each agent, or locking into one platform.
SkillKit fixes this. Install from 15,000+ skills, auto-translate between formats, persist learnings with Memory. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, and 40 more.

npx skillkit@latest init # Detect agents, create dirs
skillkit recommend # Get smart suggestions
skillkit install anthropics/skills # Install from marketplace
skillkit sync # Deploy to your agentsFour commands. Your agents now have skills for PDF processing, code review, and more.
skillkit install anthropics/skills # GitHub
skillkit install gitlab:team/skills # GitLab
skillkit install ./my-local-skills # Local pathWrite for Claude, deploy to Cursor:
skillkit translate my-skill --to cursor
skillkit translate --all --to windsurfSkillKit reads your project, detects your stack, and suggests relevant skills:
skillkit recommend
# 92% vercel-react-best-practices
# 87% tailwind-v4-patterns
# 85% nextjs-app-routerStart an API server and let agents find skills on demand:
skillkit serve
# Server running at http://localhost:3737
curl "http://localhost:3737/search?q=react+performance"Or use MCP for native agent integration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skillkit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@skillkit/mcp"] }
}
}Or use Python:
pip install skillkit-clientfrom skillkit import SkillKitClient
async with SkillKitClient() as client:
results = await client.search("react performance", limit=5)REST API docs · MCP Server docs · Python Client docs · Interactive API explorer
Let SkillKit analyze your codebase and create CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, etc.:
skillkit primer --all-agentsYour AI agents learn patterns during sessions, then forget everything. SkillKit captures those learnings:
skillkit memory compress
skillkit memory search "auth patterns"
skillkit memory export auth-patternsGenerate skills from natural language with multi-source context:
skillkit generate
# Interactive wizard with 4 context sources:
# - Documentation (via Context7)
# - Your codebase patterns
# - 15,000+ marketplace skills
# - Memory (your corrections)Works with any LLM: Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Ollama (local), or OpenRouter (100+ models). Generates agent-optimized variants with trust scores.
Distribute agents across machines with encrypted P2P:
skillkit mesh init
skillkit mesh discoverShare skills via a Git-committable .skills manifest:
skillkit manifest init
skillkit manifest add anthropics/skills
git commit -m "add team skills"Team members run skillkit manifest install and they're in sync.
Save any webpage as a skill directly from your browser.
- Build:
pnpm --filter @skillkit/extension build - Chrome →
chrome://extensions→ Load unpacked →packages/extension/dist/ - Click the extension icon or right-click → "Save page as Skill"
The extension sends the page URL to the SkillKit API for server-side extraction with Turndown, 5-source weighted tag detection, and GitHub URL support. The resulting SKILL.md downloads automatically. Then run skillkit install ~/Downloads/skillkit-skills/my-skill to deploy to all agents.

## When to Use
- Scenario 1
- Scenario 2
## Steps
1. First step
2. Second stepimport { translateSkill, analyzeProject, RecommendationEngine } from 'skillkit';
const skill = await translateSkill(content, 'cursor');
const profile = await analyzeProject('./my-project');
const engine = new RecommendationEngine();
const recs = await engine.recommend(profile);import { startServer } from '@skillkit/api';
await startServer({ port: 3737, skills: [...] });import { MemoryCache, RelevanceRanker } from '@skillkit/core';
const cache = new MemoryCache({ maxSize: 500, ttlMs: 86_400_000 });
const ranker = new RelevanceRanker();
const results = ranker.rank(skills, 'react performance');SkillKit aggregates skills from trusted sources. All original creators are credited with their licenses preserved.
