Portable agent skills extracted from Claude Code

You can run these workflows in Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or VS Code without changing your codebase. We port the prompt logic directly to keep it platform neutral.

# Install any skill in one command

# Feature development, code review, security guidance
# PR review toolkit, plugin development, and more
# 22 skills with no platform lock-in

Why portable skills?

We extracted these workflows from Claude Code so you can use them with other models.

Platform neutral

The standard markdown format is compatible with any AI assistant because we removed platform-specific hooks and CLI dependencies.

Battle tested

These prompts and patterns come directly from the source code and power real development teams every day.

One-command installation

You can add individual skills or the entire collection to your local workspace with a single command.

Progressive disclosure

Every skill contains core instructions in its main markdown file, while detailed guides and helper scripts live in separate directories.

22 specialized personas

We packaged everything from security scanners to pull request review toolkits into focused personas for specific tasks.

Direct porting

We preserve the exact workflow logic from the original repository while adapting the syntax for other environments.

Standard SKILL.md format

Every skill lives in its own directory with a standard markdown file. YAML frontmatter handles the metadata, and the body contains the instructions. This format is readable by both humans and AI models.

Because there are no proprietary formats, you can run or edit these files in any editor.
