kiro-super-skills

This is an unofficial community package. The skills bundled here were originally created by Anthropic as part of Claude Code. The skill files are included unchanged — this package simply provides a convenient way to install and keep them up to date in Kiro IDE, without manually copying files.

We regularly update this package to stay in sync with the latest upstream skill releases from Anthropic.

Quick Start

npm install kiro-super-skills

That's it. Skills are automatically copied to ~/.kiro/skills/ on install. Open Kiro IDE and they're ready to use.

Manual install (if postinstall didn't run)

npx kiro-super-skills install

Install to a specific workspace

npx kiro-super-skills install --workspace ./my-project

How It Works

1. Skills are bundled (unchanged) in the skills/ directory of this npm package
2. On npm install, a postinstall script copies them to ~/.kiro/skills/
3. Kiro IDE discovers skills automatically from that directory
4. When your request matches a skill's description, Kiro activates it and loads the full instructions

Each skill follows the agentskills.io standard:

• SKILL.md — YAML frontmatter (name + description) plus markdown instructions
• Optional scripts/, references/, assets/ subdirectories for additional resources

# List all bundled skills
npx kiro-super-skills list

# Install to a workspace
npx kiro-super-skills install --workspace ./my-project

# Force overwrite existing skills
npx kiro-super-skills install --force

# Show path info
npx kiro-super-skills info

For skill maintainers (build from Claude Code)
