Overview

NOTE: Most agents support some form of skills by now so you may as well use the native implementations.

# Universal Skills

Universal Skills brings Anthropic's Skills feature to any AI coding agent that supports MCP. Skills are markdown files containing specialized knowledge that can be dynamically loaded into your agent's context only when needed.

How to Use Skills

For a real-world example on how I personally use skills see [Creating a Skill](./docs/creating-a-skill.md).

Why I built this

A week ago, I reverse engineered Claude Code's skills. A day ago, I spotted this repo [openskills](https://github.com/numman-ali/openskills) which implements skills for other coding agents. Their approach works but is suboptimal. That's why I decided to build a functional equivalent to Claude Code's skills based on MCP. See [why not use openskills](./docs/FAQ.md#why-dont-i-just-use-openskills) for details.

Installation

Codex

Add the skills server to Codex using the MCP add command:

```bash

codex mcp add skills -- npx universal-skills mcp

```

Claude Code

Add the skills server to Claude Code using the MCP add command:

```bash

claude mcp add --transport stdio skills -- npx universal-skills mcp

```

OpenCode

Add the skills server to your OpenCode configuration by creating or editing the opencode.json file in your project root:

```json

{

"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",

"mcp": {

"skills": {

"type": "local",

"command": ["npx", "universal-skills", "mcp"],

"enabled": true

}

```

For opencode I had to be quite explicit in instructing the agent to load a skill. I will have a look into their default instructions to improve that.

Other Agents

This should also work fine with Cursor and other Agent's that support MCP. Just not tested yet.

Updating

To update to the latest version:

```bash

# Clear npx cache

npx clear-npx-cache

# Or manually remove cache

rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx-cache

# Reinstall with @latest tag

codex mcp remove skills

codex mcp add skills -- npx universal-skills@latest mcp

```

Skill Directory Structure

Skills are automatically discovered from four directories in priority order (first match wins):

yourproject/.agent/skills/ - Project-specific skills
yourproject/.claude/skills/ - Project-specific skills
~/.agent/skills/ - Global skills
~/.claude/skills/ - Global skills

Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file:

```

.agent/skills/

├── git/

│ └── SKILL.md

└── postgres/

└── SKILL.md

```

Priority Resolution: If the same skill name exists in multiple directories, the one from the higher priority directory wins. This allows you to:

Override global skills with project-specific versions
Override Claude-specific skills with universal agent skills (useful when different agents need different configurations)

Custom Skill Directories

Add additional directories to recursively search for skills using --skill-dir (can be specified multiple times). E.g. inclu
