Curator's take

Use it the moment skills must live on more than one agent — you write Claude SKILL.md, a teammate runs Cursor: author once, `skillkit sync` translates and deploys everywhere; the install-time security scan is a real feature now that skill marketplaces are a prompt-injection vector. NOT needed if you're all-in on a single agent — Claude Code's first-party plugin/marketplace flow is simpler and better supported. Format translation is lossy at the edges (agent-specific frontmatter, hooks, tool references), so verify ported skills actually trigger; and treat the optional mesh/messaging/REST extras as experiments, not infrastructure.

The problem

Every AI coding agent wants skills. Every agent invented a different format.

Agent	Format	Directory
Claude Code	`SKILL.md`	`.claude/skills/`
Cursor	`.mdc`	`.cursor/skills/`
Copilot	Markdown	`.github/skills/`
Windsurf	Markdown	`.windsurf/skills/`
... 41 more

You rewrite the same skill for each agent. Or you lock in to one.

The fix

SkillKit is the package manager for AI agent skills. Install from 400K+ skills across 31 sources. Auto-translate between formats. Persist session learnings. Ship to 46 agents at once.

npx skillkit add anthropics/skills

That is the whole first-run. Pick your agent (your detected agent is pre-selected), confirm, done.

Quick start

npx skillkit init                     # detect agent, create dirs
skillkit recommend                    # stack-aware suggestions
skillkit add anthropics/skills        # install from marketplace
skillkit sync                         # deploy to agent config

Four commands. Your agent now has PDF processing, code review, auth patterns, and whatever you need.

Pairs well with

claude-reflect

Claude Code plugin that learns from your corrections — hooks capture them in-session, /reflect syncs approved learnings to CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, /reflect-skills mines history into reusable commands.

Why it fitsclaude-reflect mines your sessions into reusable skills/commands for Claude Code; skillkit is the distribution layer that packages and translates them to 45 other agents. Minor overlap: skillkit also persists session learnings, but capture is claude-reflect's whole job.

pro-workflow

One SQLite store under every Claude Code session: corrections become FTS5-searchable rules that auto-load, research grows persistent wikis, and 37 hook scripts add quality gates.

Why it fitspro-workflow ships its 34 skills through SkillKit — the package manager is its distribution channel to 32+ agent formats.

designer-skills

239 design skills, 88 commands and 33 plugins for Claude Code and Gemini CLI — research, design systems, UI, interaction and delivery, written for agents to actually execute.

Why it fitsContent meets distribution: designer-skills is a curated skill pack, skillkit is the package manager that installs, translates and security-scans skills like these across 46 agent formats.

apm

Microsoft's dependency manager for agent context — declare skills, prompts, plugins and MCP servers in apm.yml; one install reproduces the setup across 8 clients with lockfile pinning and org policy.

Why it fitsOverlapping job, different model: skillkit is an imperative installer + format translator chasing breadth (46 agents, 400K skills); apm is declarative — manifest, lockfile, transitive deps, org policy — chasing reproducibility. apm's README even ships a 'coming from npx skills add' migration.

asm

Scriptable skill manager for AI coding agents — install, search, dedupe-audit and security-scan skills across 19 providers, with --json/--yes on every command so agents and CI can drive it.

Why it fitsSame job — install and manage skills across many coding agents — opposite bets: skillkit maximizes breadth (400K skills, 46 agents, format auto-translation); asm maximizes scriptability (agent-first --json/--yes CLI, dedupe audit, curated catalog, no accounts/telemetry).

SkillNet

Open skill infrastructure from ZJU NLP: search a 500K+ indexed skill library, install, generate skills from repos/docs/traces, score their quality, and compose/orchestrate them. SDK + CLI + MCP.

Why it fitsBoth are registry-scale skill installers (400-500K skills indexed). skillkit's strength is cross-agent format translation across 46 agents plus security scanning on install; SkillNet's is the research stack — create from traces, evaluate quality, compose and orchestrate.
