## 💡 Philosophy
> **"Write once. Run everywhere."**
AI coding agents are evolving fast, and each has its own way of doing things:
```
Claude Code → CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/
GitHub Copilot → AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md
Codex → SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/
Cursor → .cursor/rules/*.mdc
Windsurf → Cascade Rules, Memories
Cline → .clinerules
Factory/Droid → .factory/droids/*.md
OpenCode → .opencode/skill/, opencode.json
```
### The n-skills Way
We embrace the diversity with a universal approach:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ SKILL.md → The universal skill format │
│ AGENTS.md → The universal discovery file │
│ openskills → The universal installer │
│ │
│ Write once. Run everywhere. │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
[AGENTS.md](https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/08/agents-md/) is now adopted by **20,000+ repositories** and natively supported by GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini, OpenAI Codex, Factory Droid, Cursor, and more.
**n-skills is a curated marketplace.** Install via [openskills](https://github.com/numman-ali/openskills) or use your agent's native installer — your choice!
---
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Claude Code
```bash
/plugin marketplace add numman-ali/n-skills
```
Then install any skill:
```bash
/plugin install orchestration@n-skills
/plugin install open-source-maintainer@n-skills
/plugin install gastown@n-skills
/plugin install dev-browser@n-skills
/plugin install zai-cli@n-skills
```
### OpenSkills (Universal)
Works with **every agent**: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode, and anything that reads AGENTS.md.
```bash
npm i -g openskills
openskills install numman-ali/n-skills
openskills sync
```
> **New to OpenSkills?** It's the universal skills installer. [Learn more →](https://github.com/numman-ali/openskills)
Other native installers
**Codex:**
```bash
$skill-installer https://github.com/numman-ali/n-skills/tree/main/skills/tools/zai-cli
```

## 🌐 Universal Compatibility
n-skills works everywhere because we use open standards:
| Agent | How it works | Status |
|:------|:-------------|:------:|
| **Claude Code** | Native plugin system | ✅ Native |
| **GitHub Copilot** | Reads AGENTS.md directly | ✅ Native |
| **Codex** | $skill-installer | ✅ Native |
| **Factory/Droid** | Reads AGENTS.md directly | ✅ Native |
| **Cursor** | openskills → AGENTS.md | ✅ Universal |
| **Windsurf** | openskills → AGENTS.md | ✅ Universal |
| **Cline** | openskills → AGENTS.md | ✅ Universal |
| **OpenCode** | Native skill support | ✅ Native |
| **Amp Code** | openskills → AGENTS.md | ✅ Universal |

## 🔄 Auto-Sync from Upstream
External skills stay in sync with their source repos automatically.
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Your Repo n-skills │
│ ──────── ──────── │
│ skills/my-skill/ ──► skills/category/my-skill/ │
│ │
│ Daily cron syncs your latest changes. │
│ You maintain ownership. We curate the collection. │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**How it works:**
1. You maintain your skill in your own repo
2. Add an entry to [`sources.yaml`](sources.yaml) via PR
3. GitHub Actions syncs your skill folder daily
4. Attribution preserved via `.source.json`
**Why not submodules?** Submodule hell is real. This approach is simpler and works with openskills, Claude Code, and every other tool without special handling.
