docs2skills

Install agent-ready skills generated from documentation — directly into your AI coding agents.

npx docs2skills add <slug>

One command installs to all your agents at once. A canonical SKILL.md is written for the first agent, and symlinks are created for the rest — no duplication, always in sync.

Quick start

# Install a skill to all detected agents
npx docs2skills add trigger-dev

# Install globally (~/.<agent>/skills/)
npx docs2skills add stripe -g

# Skip prompts, install to all agents
npx docs2skills add clerk -y

# List installed skills
npx docs2skills list

# Remove a skill from all agents
npx docs2skills remove clerk

# Show supported agents and their status
npx docs2skills agents

How it works

1. Fetch — The CLI fetches a pre-generated SKILL.md from the docs2skills API
2. Canonical write — The skill file is written to the first agent's skills directory
3. Symlink — All other agents get a symlink pointing to the canonical copy
4. Fallback — If symlinking fails (e.g., cross-device), a full copy is written instead

Skills are structured markdown files distilled from official documentation, designed to be consumed by AI coding agents as context.

What is a skill?

A skill is a SKILL.md file containing distilled knowledge from a library or framework's documentation. It includes:

• Description — When the agent should load this skill
• API patterns — Correct usage, configuration, and common patterns
• Best practices — Performance tips, error handling, and gotchas
• Code examples — Real-world snippets ready for the agent to reference

When your AI agent encounters a task related to the skill, it loads the relevant SKILL.md as context — giving it accurate, up-to-date knowledge without hallucination.
