Built on the open Agent Skills standard by Vercel, skills replace vendor-specific config files with a single install that works across every major AI coding assistant.
How agent skills work
Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file with patterns, examples, and best practices that AI assistants automatically discover and follow. One install gives every supported assistant the same knowledge.
Installation
The skills CLI (by Vercel) detects your installed AI tools and copies the appropriate files to each tool's expected location.
npx skills add triggerdotdev/skills
Or install individual skills:
npx skills add triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-tasksnpx skills add triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-agentsnpx skills add triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-confignpx skills add triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-realtimenpx skills add triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-setup
