Vercel Skills (npx skills)

The de-facto distribution channel for the open skills ecosystem — `npx skills add`, plus the skills.sh directory.

Vercel's skills CLI turned skill sharing into one command: `npx skills add <repo>` installs any published skill into Claude Code (and other agent CLIs). Its companion directory skills.sh doubles as the ecosystem's install-count leaderboard, on the order of a million installs. If you publish skills, this is where your users come from; if you consume them, this is the easiest on-ramp.

What it does

  • The CLI for the open agent-skills ecosystem — install SKILL.md-based skills into 75+ supported agents
  • npx skills add <source> supports GitHub shorthand, full URLs, GitLab, Azure DevOps, any git URL and local paths
  • npx skills use generates a prompt from a skill without installing, or launches an agent with it
  • Works for private repos using your existing git credentials

When to use it

The standard installer for the skills ecosystem — one command moves a skill from any git host into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and more.

Getting started

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills

Or point at any repo/path; npx skills use <source> for one-shot prompts.

Things to know

Skills are markdown instructions, not sandboxed code — review what a skill tells your agent before installing it.

    Skill

    Skill

    An agent skill that geolocates a photo with nothing readable in it — OSM geometry, elevation skylines and satellite tiles turn “where was this taken?” into a measured answer with an error radius.
