Skills

Install agent skills from any git source. One command — works with every coding agent.

Linux

curl -fsSL appcrate.dev/skills | sh

Download binary GitHub

Rust binary, no runtime dependencies. Requires git installed.

Features

Any git source

GitHub, GitLab, self-hosted, SSH, local paths. Not locked to any single provider.

Auto-detect agents

Finds installed coding agents and installs skills to the right places. 13 agents supported.

Interactive prompts

Multi-select skills and agents. Remembers your preferences between runs. Non-interactive mode for CI.

Symlink or copy

One canonical copy with symlinks per agent, or independent copies. Global or project-local scope.

Lock file tracking

Global and local lock files track sources, hashes, timestamps. Update and restore from lock.

Skill discovery

Scans priority directories, falls back to recursive search. YAML frontmatter for metadata.

How it works

Parse any source — GitHub shorthand, full URLs, SSH, GitLab prefixes, local paths. Shallow clone for remote sources.

Discover SKILL.md files by scanning priority directories first, then falling back to recursive search. Interactive multi-select for skills and agents, with saved preferences between runs.

Install to a canonical location, then symlink (or copy) to each agent's skills directory. Lock file tracks source, hash, and agent list for updates and reproducibility.
