How to Install Agent Skills Easily Using add-skill package
Agent Skills are reusable capabilities that AI agents can apply automatically when a request matches the skill’s description.
It was first introduced by Anthropic and lot of other IDEs/AI agents has started adopting it.
One problem with adoption is that every tool expects it to be on a different directory and things which makes it hard to share it.
| App | Path Format |
|---|---|
| OpenCode | .opencode/skill/<name>/ |
| Claude Code | .claude/skills/<name>/ |
| Codex | .codex/skills/<name>/ |
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/<name>/ |
| Amp | .agents/skills/<name>/ |
| Antigravity | .agent/skills/<name>/ |
But thanks to Vercel team’s new tool add-skill, we can easily add Agent Skills across multiple apps using just git repo.

One thing that I like about it it’s DX for example, it’ll auto select the agents (based on AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, etx that you’re already using)
