Skillkit
FreeUniversal skill platform for AI coding agents
About Skillkit
SkillKit is a universal skill platform and open-source package manager specifically designed for AI coding agents. It serves as a bridge that allows developers to write agent instructions and capabilities once and deploy them across 32 different AI agents, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. The platform features 'Primer' for auto-generating instructions from a codebase, 'Memory' for persisting AI learnings across sessions, and a 'Mesh' network for inter-agent communication. With a library of over 15,000 skills and a powerful CLI, SkillKit simplifies the management, translation, and distribution of AI agent behaviors for both individual developers and enterprise teams.
How to Use
To get started, run 'npx skillkit@latest' in your terminal to launch the interactive TUI. Use 'skillkit install <repo>' to add skills from the marketplace, or 'skillkit primer --all-agents' to automatically generate instructions based on your current codebase. Developers can also use 'skillkit generate' to create new skills using natural language prompts and sync them across teams using a .skills manifest file.
