SkillKit is the open-source universal package manager for AI coding agent skills — the "npm" for agent instructions. Write a skill once and instantly deploy it across 44 AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and more.
The Problem It Solves
Every AI coding agent has its own proprietary format for custom instructions and skills. If you want the same capability across multiple agents, you have to manually rewrite and maintain it for each platform. SkillKit eliminates this entirely with a single CLI and auto-translation engine.
Key Features
- Universal Auto-Translation — One skill definition is automatically converted into 44 different agent-compatible formats. No manual reformatting required.
- 15,000+ Skill Library — Browse a curated taxonomy of 15K+ community-contributed skills across 12 categories. Find and install skills from 31+ aggregated sources.
- AI-Powered Skill Generation — Analyzes your codebase and recommends or auto-generates the most relevant agent instructions for your specific project.
- Persistent Memory — AI learnings and preferences persist across sessions and projects, giving your agents context continuity over time.
- Security Scanning — Built-in security scan runs on every installed skill to detect malicious instructions before they reach your agents.
- Git-Based Manifest — A .skills manifest file tracks your installed skills in version control, ensuring team consistency and reproducibility.
- Skill Workflows — Compose multi-step automated skill sequences for complex, repeated agent tasks.
- Team Workflows — Shared skill profiles for organizations to standardize agent behavior across engineering teams.
- Zero Telemetry — Everything runs locally. No account required. No data leaves your machine.
