The problem

Every AI coding agent wants skills. Every agent invented a different format.

You rewrite the same skill for each agent. Or you lock in to one.

The fix

SkillKit is the package manager for AI agent skills. Install from 400K+ skills across 31 sources. Auto-translate between formats. Persist session learnings. Ship to 46 agents at once.

npx skillkit add anthropics/skills

That is the whole first-run. Pick your agent (your detected agent is pre-selected), confirm, done.

Quick start

npx skillkit init                     # detect agent, create dirs
skillkit recommend                    # stack-aware suggestions
skillkit add anthropics/skills        # install from marketplace
skillkit sync                         # deploy to agent config

Four commands. Your agent now has PDF processing, code review, auth patterns, and whatever you need.

Install

Pick one. All three do the same thing.

npm install -g skillkit       # npm
pnpm add -g skillkit          # pnpm
bun add -g skillkit           # bun

Both skillkit and sk work as the binary name.

Full vs slim

Four features ship as optional packages so a bare CLI stays small. The default install pulls everything. Add --omit=optional if you only want the core.

Feature Package Command
Terminal UI @skillkit/tui skillkit ui
REST server @skillkit/api skillkit serve
Peer mesh @skillkit/mesh skillkit mesh
Agent messaging @skillkit/messaging skillkit message

Cold install numbers on a fresh npm cache:

Mode Packages Time Vulns (crit/high)
npm i -g skillkit 418 18s 0/0
npm i -g skillkit --omit=optional 118 9s 0/0

Skipped optional? Add just the one you want later:
