How to use Agent Skills: what you can do with it

What is Agent Skills? Agent Skills is a set of 25 production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents by Addy Osmani. Nine slash commands (/spec, /plan, /build, /test, /constraints, /review, /webperf, /code-simplify and /ship) map to the development lifecycle and activate the right skills, such as test-driven development and five-axis code review, so agents follow senior engineering workflows consistently.

How do I use it? Run npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills to install all 25 skills into your agent; then run /spec and describe what to build; the spec comes before any code; run /plan to break it into small, atomic tasks. Full steps below.

Quick start with Agent Skills

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js for `npx skills`, or Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or Antigravity for their native installs; Git; SSH keys for the Claude Code marketplace, or the HTTPS URL workaround in the README.
  2. Open addyosmani/agent-skills on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills to install all 25 skills into your agent
  4. Run /spec and describe what to build; the spec comes before any code
  5. Run /plan to break it into small, atomic tasks
  6. Run /build to implement one slice at a time, or /build auto to implement every task after one plan approval

These steps come from our top use case, Go from idea to tested feature with /spec, /plan and /build, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
