| 4 | # reskill Usage Guide |
| 5 | |
| 6 | reskill is a Git-based package manager for AI agent skills. It provides declarative configuration (`skills.json` + `skills.lock`), flexible versioning, and multi-agent support for installing, managing, and sharing skills across projects and teams. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | **Requirements:** Node.js >= 18.0.0 |
| 9 | |
| 10 | **CLI usage:** If `reskill` is installed globally, use it directly. Otherwise use `npx reskill@latest`: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ```bash |
| 13 | npm install -g reskill # Global install |
| 14 | npx reskill@latest <command> # Or use npx directly (no install needed) |
| 15 | ``` |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Use this skill when the user: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - Wants to install, update, or manage AI agent skills |
| 22 | - Mentions `skills.json`, `skills.lock`, or reskill-related concepts |
| 23 | - Wants to publish a skill to a registry |
| 24 | - Asks about supported install formats (GitHub, GitLab, HTTP, OSS, registry, etc.) |
| 25 | - Encounters reskill-related errors or needs troubleshooting |
| 26 | - Wants to set up a project for skill management |
| 27 | - Asks about multi-agent skill installation (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ## AI Agent Execution Rules |
| 30 | |
| 31 | AI agents cannot respond to interactive prompts mid-command. Always add `-y` to commands that support confirmation prompts (`install`, `uninstall`, `publish`) to prevent the command from hanging. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ```bash |
| 34 | # Correct — will not hang |
| 35 | reskill install github:user/skill -y |
| 36 | reskill uninstall skill-name -y |
| 37 | reskill publish -y |
| 38 | |
| 39 | # Wrong — will hang waiting for confirmation |
| 40 | reskill install github:user/skill |
| 41 | reskill uninstall skill-name |
| 42 | ``` |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ## Quick Start |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ```bash |
| 47 | # Initialize a new project |
| 48 | npx reskill@latest init |
| 49 | |
| 50 | # Install a skill |
| 51 | npx reskill@latest install github:anthropics/skills/skills/frontend-design@latest |
| 52 | |
| 53 | # List installed skills |
| 54 | npx reskill@latest list |
