@txnlab/skills

Agent skills for TxnLab's Algorand ecosystem.

Overview

This repo serves two purposes:

1. Skills collection — curated, high-quality Agent Skills for TxnLab's Algorand projects (NFDomains, use-wallet, Haystack Router)
2. CLI tool — @txnlab/skills, an npm package for discovering, installing, and managing the skills in this repo

Skills are reusable instruction packages that extend AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) with specialized knowledge about TxnLab's projects.

Quick Start

npx @txnlab/skills add nfd

That's it. The nfd skill is now available to your AI agent. If no agent is auto-detected, specify one with --agent:

npx @txnlab/skills add nfd --agent claude-code

Available Skills

| Skill | Description | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | nfd | Work with NFDomains, the Algorand Name Service for .algo domains | | use-wallet | Integrate Algorand wallet connections with @txnlab/use-wallet | | haystack-router | Route and execute optimal swaps on Algorand DEXes via Haystack | | skill-creator | Guide for creating effective Agent Skills following the spec |

Supported agents

The CLI auto-detects installed agents and installs skills to the appropriate directory:

| Agent | Global path | Local path | | ----------- | --------------------- | ------------------- | | Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ | .claude/skills/ | | Codex | ~/.codex/skills/ | .codex/skills/ | | Cursor | ~/.cursor/skills/ | .cursor/skills/ | | OpenCode | ~/.opencode/skills/ | .opencode/skills/ |

If no agent is detected, use --agent to specify one manually.

Local Development

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/TxnLab/skills.git
cd skills

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Symlink all skills for testing ("bun run dev" runs the CLI from source)
bun run dev dev link --all

# Edit skills — changes are picked up immediately via symlinks

# Validate your work
bun run dev validate

# Run tests
bun test

# Clean up
bun run dev dev unlink --all

Contributing

Adding a new skill

1. Read skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md for the skill creation guide
2. Create a directory: skills/<skill-name>/
3. Write a SKILL.md with valid YAML frontmatter (name and description required)
4. Add optional scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories as needed
5. Run bun run validate to check your skill passes validation
6. Submit a PR — CI will run validation automatically

Requirements

• All skills must pass txnlab-skills validate
• The name field must match the directory name
• Descriptions should clearly state what the skill does and when to use it
• Follow conventional commits

Agent Skills Spec

This project follows the open Agent Skills specification. Skills are portable across any agent that supports the spec.
