aipkg CLI

Install AI packs (MCPs, Agents, Skills) with one command.

Installation

Install the aipkg CLI globally using your preferred package manager:

npm install -g @arctic-ai/ai-pkg

pnpm add -g @arctic-ai/ai-pkg

bun add -g @arctic-ai/ai-pkg

Basic Usage

Install packs from the registry using the add command:

aipkg add @anthropic/code-simplifier

The CLI will prompt you to select which tool to install to (Arctic, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and whether to install locally or globally.

Installation Sources

Install from Registry

Install packs from the official aipkg registry:

aipkg add @anthropic/code-simplifier
aipkg add @lst97/typescript-pro

Install from Git Repositories

Install skills directly from any Git repository. The CLI will clone the repo and discover all SKILL.md files:

aipkg add https://github.com/user/my-skills
aipkg add [email protected]:user/my-skills.git

This is great for installing private skills or skills that aren't in the registry yet.

Install from URLs

Install a skill directly from a URL pointing to a .md file:

aipkg add https://example.com/skills/my-skill.md
aipkg add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/main/SKILL.md

Perfect for sharing skills via gists, pastebins, or any web server.

Install from Context7

Install skills directly from Context7, a platform for sharing AI skills and documentation:

aipkg add https://context7.com/skills/owner/repo/skill-name
aipkg add https://context7.com/skills/anthropics/skills/frontend-design

The CLI will automatically fetch and install skills from Context7 URLs.

Install from Local Files

Install skills from your local filesystem - either a single file or a directory containing skills:

aipkg add ./path/to/skill.md
aipkg add ./my-skills-folder/

The CLI will scan directories for SKILL.md files and install all discovered skills.

CLI Options

Common options for the aipkg add command:

• -t, --tool - Target tool (arctic, opencode, claude, claude-code, cursor, vscode, codex, gemini)
• -g, --global - Install globally (user-wide) instead of project-local
• -m, --mode - Agent mode for OpenCode/Arctic (primary, subagent, all)

Examples

# Install globally to Arctic
aipkg add @anthropic/code-simplifier -t arctic -g

# Install from GitHub to Claude Code
aipkg add https://github.com/user/skills -t claude-code

# Install locally to Cursor
aipkg add @lst97/react-pro -t cursor
