How to Set Up and Use Awesome Agent Skills
Awesome Agent Skills is a curated, community-driven directory of reusable agent skill modules for AI coding assistants — including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, and Antigravity — covering capabilities like document creation, web automation, API integrations, cloud deployment, data analysis, and media generation. It ships the `npx skills` CLI for discovering, installing, updating, and removing skills across all supported platforms, plus a structured registry that developers can contribute to. Teams use it as their first stop when looking for pre-built agent skills rather than writing custom tool integrations from scratch.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm (for the npx skills CLI)
- At least one supported AI coding assistant: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, or Antigravity
- API keys for any third-party services a specific skill requires (e.g., OpenAI key for image generation skills, Stripe key for payment skills)
- Git for installing skills from source repositories
- Optional: A GitHub account to contribute your own skills to the registry
Search for available skills
Use the npx skills CLI to search the registry for skills matching your use case. No installation is needed — npx runs it directly.
npx skills find web automation
npx skills find document
npx skills find api integrationInstall a skill into Claude Code
Install a skill from its GitHub repository using the Claude Code /skills command, or use the CLI for any supported platform.
# Claude Code (inside the assistant):
/skills add <github-url>
# CLI for any platform:
npx skills add owner/repo-nameList installed skills and check for updates
View which skills are currently installed and check if newer versions are available in the registry.
npx skills list
npx skills checkUpdate all installed skills
Upgrade all installed skills to their latest versions in one command.
npx skills updateConfigure your MCP client to load skills
Skills installed for Claude Desktop are placed in ~/.claude/skills/. For MCP-based skill servers, add the relevant entry to your claude_desktop_config.json.

"mcpServers": {
"awesome-agent-skills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["awesome-agent-skills"],
"env": {}

}Prompts to try
Sample prompts once skills are installed in your AI coding assistant.
- "Find a skill that can create Excel spreadsheets from data I provide."
- "Install the Playwright web automation skill and then scrape the top 10 results from this URL."
- "Use the DuckDB skill to run a SQL query on this CSV file."
- "Generate a DALL-E image using the media skill: a futuristic city skyline at dusk."
- "List all skills I have installed and tell me which ones support Notion integration."Troubleshooting Awesome Agent Skills
npx skills command not found or fails to run
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (`node --version`). Run `npx --yes skills find test` to force npx to fetch the package. If behind a corporate proxy, set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable before running npx.
Installed skill fails with missing API key error
Each skill documents its own required environment variables (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY). Check the skill's GitHub repository README for the exact variable names and add them to your MCP server env block in claude_desktop_config.json.
Skill installed via CLI does not appear in Claude Code
Verify the skill was placed in ~/.claude/skills/ (the correct directory for Claude Code). Restart Claude Code after installation. For workspace-scoped skills in Antigravity, place them in <workspace>/.agent/skills/ instead.
