An enterprise-customizable fork of Vercel Labs' skills CLI for internal skill registries.

@playlist-tech/enterprise-skills

Enterprise fork of Vercel Labs' skills CLI, adding support for private/internal skill registries and custom telemetry while we wait for those features upstream.

[!NOTE] This is Playlist Tech's fork of vercel-labs/skills. The main branch tracks upstream. Enterprise features and the published @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills npm package live on the enterprise branch.

Supports OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 51 more.

[!NOTE] This is a Playlist Tech enterprise fork. It is API-compatible with the upstream skills CLI — all commands and flags work the same way. Use it instead of npx skills when you need to pull skills from a private/internal registry or route telemetry to your own endpoint.
Upstream repo: vercel-labs/skills — we track upstream releases and version as <upstream-version>-enterprise.<n> (e.g. 1.5.6-enterprise.0).

What are Agent Skills?

Agent skills are reusable instruction sets that extend your coding agent's capabilities. They're defined in SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter containing a name and description.

Skills let agents perform specialized tasks like:

Generating release notes from git history
Creating PRs following your team's conventions
Integrating with external tools (Linear, Notion, etc.)

Discover public skills at skills.sh

Supported Agents

Skills can be installed to any of these agents:

| Agent | --agent | ------------------------------------- | --------------------- | AiderDesk | aider-desk | Amp, Kimi Code CLI, Replit, Universal | amp, | Antigravity | antigravity | Augment | augment | IBM Bob | bob | Claude Code | claude-code | OpenClaw | openclaw | Cline, Dexto, Warp | cline, | CodeArts Agent | codearts-agent | CodeBuddy | codebuddy | Codemaker | codemaker | Code Studio | codestudio | Codex | codex | Command Code | command-code | Continue | continue | Cortex Code | cortex | Crush | crush | Cursor | cursor | Deep Agents | deepagents | Devin for Terminal | devin | Droid | droid | Firebender | firebender | ForgeCode | forgecode | Gemini CLI | gemini-cli | GitHub Copilot | github-copilot | Goose | goose | Hermes Agent | hermes-agent | Junie | junie | iFlow CLI | iflow-cli | Kilo Code | kilo | Kiro CLI | kiro-cli | Kode | kode | MCPJam | mcpjam | Mistral Vibe | mistral-vibe | Mux | mux | OpenCode | opencode | OpenHands | openhands | Pi | pi | Qoder | qoder | Qwen Code | qwen-code | Rovo Dev | rovodev | Roo Code | roo | Tabnine CLI | tabnine-cli | Trae | trae | Trae CN | trae-cn | Windsurf | windsurf | Zencoder | zencoder | Neovate | neovate | Pochi | pochi | AdaL | adal | Project Path | Global Path | ------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- | | .aider-desk/skills/ | ~/.aider-desk/skills/ | kimi-cli, replit, universal | .agents/skills/ | ~/.config/agents/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/ | | .augment/skills/ | ~/.augment/skills/ | | .bob/skills/ | ~/.bob/skills/ | | .claude/skills/ | ~/.claude/skills/ | | skills/ | ~/.openclaw/skills/ | dexto, warp | .agents/skills/ | ~/.agents/skills/ | | .codeartsdoer/skills/ | ~/.codeartsdoer/skills/ | | .codebuddy/skills/ | ~/.codebuddy/skills/ | | .codemaker/skills/ | ~/.codemaker/skills/ | | .codestudio/skills/ | ~/.codestudio/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.codex/skills/ | | .commandcode/skills/ | ~/.commandcode/skills/ | | .continue/skills/ | ~/.continue/skills/ | | .cortex/skills/ | ~/.snowflake/cortex/skills/ | | .crush/skills/ | ~/.config/crush/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.cursor/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.deepagents/agent/skills/ | | .devin/skills/ | ~/.config/devin/skills/ | | .factory/skills/ | ~/.factory/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.firebender/skills/ | | .forge/skills/ | ~/.forge/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.gemini/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.copilot/skills/ | | .goose/skills/ | ~/.config/goose/skills/ | | .hermes/skills/ | ~/.hermes/skills/ | | .junie/skills/ | ~/.junie/skills/ | | .iflow/skills/ | ~/.iflow/skills/ | | .kilocode/skills/ | ~/.kilocode/skills/ | | .kiro/skills/ | ~/.kiro/skills/ | | .kode/skills/ | ~/.kode/skills/ | | .mcpjam/skills/ | ~/.mcpjam/skills/ | | .vibe/skills/ | ~/.vibe/skills/ | | .mux/skills/ | ~/.mux/skills/ | | .agents/skills/ | ~/.config/opencode/skills/ | | .openhands/skills/ | ~/.openhands/skills/ | | .pi/skills/ | ~/.pi/agent/skills/ | | .qoder/skills/ | ~/.qoder/skills/ | | .qwen/skills/ | ~/.qwen/skills/ | | .rovodev/skills/ | ~/.rovodev/skills/ | | .roo/skills/ | ~/.roo/skills/ | | .tabnine/agent/skills/ | ~/.tabnine/agent/skills/ | | .trae/skills/ | ~/.trae/skills/ | | .trae/skills/ | ~/.trae-cn/skills/ | | .windsurf/skills/ | ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/ | | .zencoder/skills/ | ~/.zencoder/skills/ | | .neovate/skills/ | ~/.neovate/skills/ | | .pochi/skills/ | ~/.pochi/skills/ | | .adal/skills/ | ~/.adal/skills/ |

[!NOTE] Kiro CLI users: The default agent automatically loads skills from .kiro/skills/ and ~/.kiro/skills/ — no configuration needed. If you use a custom agent, add skills to its resources in .kiro/agents/<agent>.json:
{
  "resources": ["skill://.kiro/skills/**/SKILL.md"]
}

The CLI automatically detects which coding agents you have installed. If none are detected, you'll be prompted to select which agents to install to.

Creating Skills

Skills are directories containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it
---

# My Skill

Instructions for the agent to follow when this skill is activated.

## When to Use

Describe the scenarios where this skill should be used.

## Steps

1. First, do this
2. Then, do that

Required Fields

name: Unique identifier (lowercase, hyphens allowed)
description: Brief explanation of what the skill does

Optional Fields

metadata.internal: Set to true to hide the skill from normal discovery. Internal skills are only visible and installable when INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS=1 is set. Useful for work-in-progress skills or skills meant only for internal tooling.

---
name: my-internal-skill
description: An internal skill not shown by default
metadata:
  internal: true
---

Skill Discovery

The CLI searches for skills in these locations within a repository. Each skill container directory is walked one level deep for the common flat layout (skills/<name>/SKILL.md) and one extra level deep for catalog layouts (skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md). A SKILL.md discovered at the shallower level shadows anything nested below it. Use --full-depth to also discover SKILL.md files outside these container directories (e.g. under examples/ or tests/).

Root directory (if it contains SKILL.md)
skills/
skills/.curated/
skills/.experimental/
skills/.system/
.aider-desk/skills/
.agents/skills/
.augment/skills/
.bob/skills/
.claude/skills/
.codeartsdoer/skills/
.codebuddy/skills/
.codemaker/skills/
.codestudio/skills/
.commandcode/skills/
.continue/skills/
.cortex/skills/
.crush/skills/
.devin/skills/
.factory/skills/
.forge/skills/
.goose/skills/
.hermes/skills/
.junie/skills/
.iflow/skills/
.kilocode/skills/
.kiro/skills/
.kode/skills/
.mcpjam/skills/
.vibe/skills/
.mux/skills/
.openhands/skills/
.pi/skills/
.qoder/skills/
.qwen/skills/
.rovodev/skills/
.roo/skills/
.tabnine/agent/skills/
.trae/skills/
.windsurf/skills/
.zencoder/skills/
.neovate/skills/
.pochi/skills/
.adal/skills/

Plugin Manifest Discovery

If .claude-plugin/marketplace.json or .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists, skills declared in those files are also discovered:

// .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
{
  "metadata": { "pluginRoot": "./plugins" },
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "my-plugin",
      "source": "my-plugin",
      "skills": ["./skills/review", "./skills/test"]
    }
  ]
}

This enables compatibility with the Claude Code plugin marketplace ecosystem. Skill paths declared in a manifest are searched at their declared depth and are not subject to the depth-2 catalog walk described above.

If no skills are found in standard locations, a recursive search is performed.

Compatibility

Skills are generally compatible across agents since they follow a shared Agent Skills specification. However, some features may be agent-specific:

| Feature | OpenCode | OpenHands | Claude Code | Cline | CodeBuddy | Codex | Command Code | Kiro CLI | Cursor | Antigravity | Roo Code | Github Copilot | Amp | OpenClaw | Neovate | Pi | Qoder | Zencoder | | --------------- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | ----- | --------- | ----- | ------------ | -------- | ------ | ----------- | -------- | -------------- | --- | -------- | ------- | --- | ----- | -------- | | Basic skills | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | allowed-tools | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | context: fork | No | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | | Hooks | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |

Troubleshooting

"No skills found"

Ensure the repository contains valid SKILL.md files with both name and description in the frontmatter.

Skill not loading in agent

Verify the skill was installed to the correct path
Check the agent's documentation for skill loading requirements
Ensure the SKILL.md frontmatter is valid YAML

Permission errors

Ensure you have write access to the target directory.

Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS | Set to 1 or true to show and install skills marked as internal: true | | DISABLE_TELEMETRY | Set to disable anonymous usage telemetry | | DO_NOT_TRACK | Alternative way to disable telemetry | | SKILLS_TELEMETRY_URL | Override the telemetry endpoint (e.g. for self-hosted/internal install metrics) | | SKILLS_TELEMETRY_ALLOW_PRIVATE | Set to 1 to allow install/remove events from private/internal sources (only honored with a custom endpoint) |

# Install internal skills
INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS=1 npx @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills add your-org/your-skills-repo --list
