nave

A curated skill router for AI coding agents.

Nave detects what you're working on and routes to the right skill — automatically. Clear task? Executes directly. Ambiguous task? Shows you the options and asks first.

Install

npx nave

Run once in your project root. Nave detects which agent you're using and installs itself.

Supported agents: Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex CLI, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Antigravity
