Claude Code Skills & Plugins — Agent Skills for Every Coding Tool

388 production-ready Claude Code skills, plugins, and agent skills for 13 AI coding tools.

The most comprehensive open-source library of Claude Code skills and agent plugins — also works with OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 9 more coding agents. Reusable expertise packages covering engineering, DevOps, marketing (incl. AEO — Answer Engine Optimization for LLM citation), security (PreToolUse hooks), compliance, C-level advisory (incl. founder-mode CFO/CMO/CRO/CPO/COO/CHRO/CISO/GC/CDO/CAIO/CCO/VPE personas + 21 /cs:* slash commands), productivity (capture/email/reflect/weekly-review/deep-work/meetings), an academic research stack (litreview/grants/dossier/patent/syllabus/pulse/notebooklm/deep-research + hybrid router), and enterprise Research Operations (clinical-research/research-finance/market-research/product-research, v2.9.0).

Works with: Claude Code · OpenAI Codex · Gemini CLI · OpenClaw · Hermes Agent[^hermes] · Mistral Vibe[^vibe] · Cursor · Aider · Windsurf · Kilo Code · OpenCode · Augment · Antigravity

[^hermes]: 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. [^vibe]: 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.

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:

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 727 Python tools run anywhere Python runs.

Skills vs Agents vs Personas

Skills Agents Personas
Purpose How to execute a task What task to do Who is thinking
Scope Single domain Single domain Cross-domain
Voice Neutral Professional Personality-driven
Example "Follow these steps for SEO" "Run a security audit" "Think like a startup CTO"

All three work together. See Orchestration for how to combine them.


Quick Install

Windows users: clone with git clone -c core.symlinks=true (Developer Mode enabled) — otherwise the .gemini//.codex//.vibe//.hermes/ mirror trees check out as 1-line pointer text files instead of skills — and set PYTHONUTF8=1 so tools that print Unicode don't crash on legacy-codepage consoles. Details: INSTALLATION.md → Windows Notes.

Multi-Tool Support (New)

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

Tool Format Install
Cursor .mdc rules ./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor --target .
Aider CONVENTIONS.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 .
OpenCode .opencode/skills/ ./scripts/install.sh --tool opencode --target .
Augment .augment/rules/ ./scripts/install.sh --tool augment --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:

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

Personas

Pre-configured agent identities with curated skill loadouts, workflows, and distinct communication styles. Personas go beyond "use these skills" — they define how an agent thinks, prioritizes, and communicates.

Persona Domain Best For
Startup CTO Engineering + Strategy Architecture decisions, tech stack selection, team building, technical due diligence
Growth Marketer Marketing + Growth Content-led growth, launch strategy, channel optimization, bootstrapped marketing
Solo Founder Cross-domain One-person startups, side projects, MVP building, wearing all hats

Usage:

# Claude Code
cp agents/personas/startup-cto.md ~/.claude/agents/

# Any tool
./scripts/convert.sh --tool cursor  # Converts personas too

See agents/personas/ for details. Create your own with TEMPLATE.md.


Orchestration

A lightweight protocol for coordinating personas, skills, and agents on work that crosses domain boundaries. No framework required.

Four patterns:

Pattern What When
Solo Sprint Switch personas across project phases Side projects, MVPs, solo founders
Domain Deep-Dive One persona + multiple stacked skills Architecture reviews, compliance audits
Multi-Agent Handoff Personas review each other's output High-stakes decisions, launch readiness
Skill Chain Sequential skills, no persona needed Content pipelines, repeatable checklists

Example: 6-week product launch

Week 1-2: startup-cto + aws-solution-architect + senior-frontend → Build
Week 3-4: growth-marketer + launch-strategy + copywriting + seo-audit → Prepare
Week 5-6: solo-founder + email-sequence + analytics-tracking → Ship and iterate

See orchestration/ORCHESTRATION.md for the full protocol and examples.

Searching Database…

What is this?A library of 388 production-ready Claude Code skills, plugins, and agent skills covering engineering, marketing, product, compliance, C-level advisory, research, finance and productivity, usable with Claude Code and 12 other AI coding tools.
Is this a single plugin or a whole toolkit?It is a collection of hundreds of independent skill packages (each a SKILL.md plus Python scripts and reference docs) that you install individually or convert into native plugins for your coding agent, not one monolithic app.
How do I install these skills for my coding agent?Clone the repo (on Windows use 'git clone -c core.symlinks=true' with Developer Mode enabled), then follow the Quick Install steps for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenClaw, or run './scripts/install.sh --tool --target .' for the other 9 supported tools.
Do I need to install any Python packages first?No, all 706 CLI scripts are pure stdlib Python with zero pip installs; Hermes Agent and Mistral Vibe just require a one-time local sync script before use.
Any install pitfalls I should watch out for?On Windows, cloning without symlinks enabled and Developer Mode turned on makes the per-tool mirror trees (.gemini/, .codex/, .vibe/, .hermes/) check out as broken 1-line pointer files instead of real skills, so you also need PYTHONUTF8=1 set for Unicode console output.
Who is this aimed at?Both engineers and non-engineering roles: it packages expertise for engineering/DevOps, marketing, product, compliance, C-level advisory, research, business operations and daily productivity, all driven through any of the 13 supported coding agents.
What's the difference between skills, agents, and personas in this repo?Skills define how to execute a task, agents define what task to do, and personas define who is thinking, combining personality and cross-domain priorities like a 'Startup CTO' persona.
How do I use this with a tool that isn't natively supported, like Cursor?Run './scripts/install.sh --tool cursor --target .' (or aider, windsurf, kilocode, opencode, augment, antigravity) to auto-convert all skills into that tool's native format, e.g. .mdc rules for Cursor.
What's new in the Research Operations addition (v2.9.0)?It adds five enterprise research skills, an orchestrator plus clinical-research, research-finance, market-research, and product-research, each with onboarding and an opt-in autoresearch bridge.
What is the Agent Launcher skill set for?It lets you build, launch, grade, and schedule Claude Managed Agents in your own account through an orchestrator, interview, stage-launch, grade-iterate, and run-without-you cron deployment loop.
