 "summary": "Add a published agent skill to one project so Claude Code can follow its instructions.",
 "who": "A developer who wants Claude Code to apply a specific skill, such as web design guidelines, to the current project.",
 "problem": "Agent Skills are useful only when the coding agent can load them, and setting them up by hand means finding the right files and placing them in each agent's skill folder.",
 "outcome": "The chosen skill is installed in the current project and is available to Claude Code.",
 "steps": [
  "Confirm Node.js 22.20 or later is installed.",
  "From your project folder, run `npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill web-design-guidelines -a claude-code`.",
  "Run `npx skills list` to confirm the skill appears in the installed list.",
  "Add `-g` to the install command if you want the skill available across projects."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the vercel-labs/skills CLI, install the <skill name> skill from <source repo> into this project for Claude Code. Then run npx skills list and report the skill name and whether it is installed. Verify the skill appears in the list before you report success.",
