Package AI agent skills into deployment-ready formats for distribution across AI platforms.
Uses the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Manus, ChatGPT, and any other compatible tool.
## What It Does
- Packages one or more skills (directories containing SKILL.md) into deployment-ready formats
- Generates Claude plugin manifests, Cursor plugin manifests, marketplace configs, and `.agents/skills/` directories
- Creates a universal repo with CI/CD (GitHub Actions release workflow + GitHub Pages), version management, and per-platform install instructions
- Handles path hygiene: keeps `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/` in canonical copies, strips it for cross-platform portability
- Includes bundled Python scripts for metadata extraction, scaffolding, validation, version bumping, and zip building
## Supported Formats
| Format | What it produces |
|--------|-----------------|
| **Universal repo** | Full repo with ALL formats + CI/CD + version management (recommended) |
| **Claude plugin** | `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` pointing at skills |
| **Claude marketplace** | Plugin + root `marketplace.json` for marketplace distribution |
| **Cursor plugin** | `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json` formatted for Cursor |
| **Agent Skills standard** | `.agents/skills/` directory structure for cross-client interop |
| **ZIP** | Clean zip with path hygiene (also works for ChatGPT, Manus, Codex CLI) |
