Agent Skills Standard CLI 🚀

The engine behind High-Density AI coding. Command your AI assistants with professional standards.

The agent-skills-standard CLI is the official command-line tool to manage, sync, and version-control engineering standards across all major AI agents (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Roo Code, OpenCode, and more).

💡 What does this tool do?

If the Agent Skills Standard is the "instruction manual" for your AI, this CLI is the delivery truck that brings those instructions to your project.

Why you need this CLI

• For Developers: No more copy-pasting .cursorrules or manual file management. One command keeps your AI updated.
• For Non-IT/Tech Leads: Quickly set up a new project with the same professional standards used by senior engineers.
• For Teams: Ensure every developer’s AI tool (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) behaves the same way across the entire codebase.

⚡ The Problem: "The Context Wall"

Modern AI coding agents are powerful, but they have major flaws:

1. Memory Drain: Giant rule files consume 30% - 50% of the AI's memory, making it less effective for actual coding.
2. Version Chaos: Team members often have different "best practices," leading to inconsistent code.
3. Wordy Prose: Human-style instructions are token-heavy and often ignored by AI during complex logical tasks.

Agent Skills Standard solves this by treating prompt instructions as versioned dependencies, similar to how you manage software libraries.

🚀 Installation

You can run the tool instantly without installing, or install it globally for convenience:

# Use instantly (Recommended)
npx agent-skills-standard sync

# Or install globally
npm install -g agent-skills-standard

# Use the short alias
ags sync

🛠 Basic Commands

1. Setup Your Project

Run this once to detect your project type and choose which "skills" you want your AI to have.

npx agent-skills-standard init

2. Boost Your AI

Run this to fetch the latest high-density instructions and install them into your hidden agent folders (like .cursor/skills/ or .github/skills/).

npx agent-skills-standard sync

✨ Key Features

• 🎯 Efficiency First: Uses a "Search-on-Demand" pattern that only loads information when the AI needs it, saving its "brain power" for your code.
• 🚀 High-Density Instructions: Optimized syntax that is 40% more compact than standard English.
• 🛡️ Universal Support: Works out-of-the-box with Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and more.
• 🔒 Secure Protection: Mark specific files as "Locked" (overrides) so the CLI never changes your custom tweaks.
