libraries-dev

Installs the Libraries.dev agent skill. The skill teaches your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others that read skills) to use the seven Libraries.dev libraries correctly and to suggest where each one fits in your project:

Border beam, Thinking orbs, Gooey, Voice, Bot avatars, Liquid metal, Image.

Free skill

npx libraries-dev skill

Covers each library's install, usage and the options its detail page on libraries.dev offers. No account needed. Installs to ~/.claude/skills/libraries-dev (--project for ./.claude/skills, --dir <path> for anywhere).

The same skill installs into other agents with the skills CLI:

npx skills add Jakubantalik/Libraries.dev

Pro skill

npx libraries-dev skill --pro

For Libraries Pro members. Signs you in through the browser the first time, then installs libraries-pro: every option the Studio exposes, palettes, cursor gravity, and the core customization contracts for rebuilding an effect's geometry or shader.

It goes wherever the free skill is installed, in this project and in your home folder, whichever agents npx skills add set it up for (.agents/skills for Cursor and Codex, .claude/skills, and so on, including symlinked copies), and removes the free copies it replaces (--keep-free to keep both). With no free copy it installs to ~/.claude/skills; --project or --dir choose the folder yourself. Run it again to update.

Team MCP server (Business)

npx libraries-dev mcp --claude    # or --cursor; without either it prints the config

Connects your coding agent to your team's Libraries.dev data: the brand kit, every preset your team saved in the Studio, each library's full option list and Pro reference, and a validator that checks values the way the Studio does. A preset saved from code comes with a Studio link. Your agent does the work with its own model. Needs a Business seat; the token is personal to it.

Using it

Ask your agent:

• "Review my project for libraries.dev effects" (libraries review)
• "Add a thinking orb to the chat reply" (libraries apply)
• Pro: "Make the beam match our brand colours" (libraries match), "calmer, slower orb" (libraries tune), "make the orb a cube" (libraries core)
