Quick Start

Get started with Agent Skills in just 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through discovering, installing, and using your first skill.

What are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are reusable prompts and configurations that enhance AI assistants like Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT. They help the AI understand specific contexts, follow guidelines, and perform specialized tasks.

Think of them as "plugins" for your AI assistant that make it smarter about specific topics or tasks.

Step 1: Browse the Marketplace

Visit the Skills page to explore available skills. You can:

  • Search by keyword to find specific skills
  • Filter by category to browse related skills
  • Sort by stars or recent updates

Step 2: Choose a Skill

Click on any skill card to view its details. Each skill page shows:

  • Description: What the skill does
  • Installation commands: Platform-specific setup instructions
  • Source code: Link to the GitHub repository
  • Stats: Stars, forks, and last update time

Step 3: Install the Skill

Choose your platform and follow the installation instructions:

Claude Code

Add the skill to your project's .claude/settings.local.json:

json
{
  "skills": [
    "https://github.com/owner/skill-repo"
  ]
}

Or use the CLI command:

bash
claude skill add owner/skill-repo

Codex CLI

Add to your Codex configuration:

bash
codex config add-skill owner/skill-repo

ChatGPT

  1. Open ChatGPT settings
  2. Navigate to "Custom Instructions"
  3. Copy the skill content into the instructions field

Step 4: Use the Skill

Once installed, the skill will automatically enhance your AI interactions. The AI will:

  • Understand the context defined in the skill
  • Follow the guidelines and best practices
  • Apply specialized knowledge when relevant

Example: Brand Guidelines Skill

Let's install the Brand Guidelines skill as an example:

  1. Visit the skill page: /skills/example/brand-guidelines
  2. Copy the installation command for your platform
  3. Run the command in your project
  4. Now when you ask the AI about design or branding, it will follow your brand guidelines
