Personal Agent Skills
This repository is a single Agent Plugin (the repository root is the plugin root, see plugin.json), bundling skills I've tailored to my personal usecases/workflows, and/or that I simply use frequently. See the remotes.yaml file for where some of these skills are sourced from.
:package: Installation
Cursor
This repository is also a Cursor marketplace containing a single plugin, so it can be added by URL and then installed from Customize (user or project scope):
agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/lrstanley/skills
# after pushing changes, re-index the marketplace to pick them up
agent plugin marketplace update lrstanley
Other clients
Check the compatible clients list for how your client installs or loads Agent Plugins from a git repository or a local directory.
Local development
From a local clone (requires jq; override the plugins location with AGENT_PLUGINS_HOME):
git clone https://github.com/lrstanley/skills.git ~/go/src/github.com/lrstanley/skills
cd ~/go/src/github.com/lrstanley/skills
task # or: ./.github/scripts/install-symlinks.sh
This symlinks the repo into ~/.agents/plugins/lrstanley-skills. If the Cursor agent CLI is
installed, it also adds the Cursor marketplace above (or re-indexes it if already added). Cursor
indexes from the git remote, so push changes first, and install the plugin itself from Customize.
Cursor does not read ~/.agents/plugins, and ignores symlinks in ~/.cursor/plugins/local that
point outside of that directory.
Individual skills
If your client does not support Agent Plugins yet, skills can still be installed individually
from the skills/ directory with skills.sh:
npx skills add lrstanley/skills -g
# specific skill, with auto-accept (default agent checks)
npx skills add lrstanley/skills -s golang -g -y
