1-Sentence Summary
235 production-ready skill packages that turn any coding agent into a domain expert.
🔥 Key Capabilities & USP
- 235 Skills Across 9 Domains: Engineering, marketing, product, compliance, finance, project management, business growth, regulatory/quality management, and C-level advisory. Pain point solved: AI agents lack domain-specific knowledge out of the box—this fills that gap with structured, reusable expertise.
- Multi-Tool Compatibility: A single
convert.shscript transforms all skills into native formats for 12 tools—Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Kilo Code, OpenCode, Augment, Antigravity, and more. Pain point solved: No vendor lock-in; invest in skills, not tools. - Personas System: Pre-configured agent identities (Startup CTO, Growth Marketer, Solo Founder) with curated skill loadouts and distinct communication styles. Pain point solved: Teams need different perspectives for different tasks, not a one-size-fits-all agent.
- Orchestration Protocol: Four patterns (Solo Sprint, Domain Deep-Dive, Multi-Agent, etc.) for coordinating personas and skills across domain boundaries. Pain point solved: Complex projects require cross-domain collaboration that single agents can't handle.
- Zero-Dependency Python Tools: All 305 CLI scripts use only Python stdlib—no
pip install, no dependency hell. Pain point solved: Immediate execution without environment setup friction.
USP: The most comprehensive open-source skill library that works across 12 different AI coding tools with zero external dependencies.
Technical Architecture
| Component | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Skill Packages | Markdown (SKILL.md) + Python stdlib scripts | Structured instructions and executable tools per domain |
| Conversion Engine | Bash (scripts/convert.sh) | Transforms skills into native formats for Cursor (.mdc), Aider (CONVENTIONS.md), Windsurf, etc. |
| Plugin System | Native marketplace commands + manual copy | Installation via Claude Code /plugin, Gemini CLI scripts, or direct folder placement |
| Personas | Markdown agent definitions | Pre-configured identities that load specific skill sets |
| Orchestration | Protocol patterns (4 types) | Coordinates multiple agents/personas across domain boundaries |
| Three-Layer Model | Skills → Agents → Personas | Skills define how, agents define what, personas define who |
Quick Start Guide
Install for Gemini CLI:
git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
cd claude-skills

/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
/plugin install engineering-skills@claude-code-skillsInstall for OpenAI Codex:
npx agent-skills-cli add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --agent codexInstall for OpenClaw:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/main/scripts/openclaw-install.sh)Convert for all tools:
./scripts/convert.sh --tool all
./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor --target /path/to/project
./scripts/install.sh --tool aider --target . --forceVerify installation (Cursor example):

Pros
- Extremely comprehensive: 235 skills across 9 domains—covers engineering, marketing, compliance, finance, and C-level advisory.
- Zero dependency overhead: All 305 Python scripts use only stdlib. No
requirements.txt, no virtualenv, nonpm install. - Multi-tool by design: One skill library, 12+ supported agents. Conversion is a single command.
- Modular and selective: Install only the domains you need. No bloat.
- Open source (MIT): Free to use, modify, and extend. Active community with 14,298 stars.
Cons
- Manual conversion for some tools: Not all 12 tools have one-click install; some require running
convert.shand copying files. - Skills are instruction packages, not autonomous agents: They provide structured guidance and scripts, but don't execute independently.
- Orchestration learning curve: Cross-domain work requires understanding the four orchestration patterns, which adds complexity for simple use cases.
Who should NOT use this?
- Users of a single AI coding tool who want deep, tool-specific integrations: If you only use Cursor and want native Cursor-only plugins, this project's multi-tool abstraction may feel like unnecessary overhead.
- Teams that need fully autonomous, self-executing agents: These skills are structured instructions and helper scripts—they don't replace an autonomous agent framework.
- Developers who prefer GUI-based plugin management: Installation for some tools still requires terminal commands and manual file copying.
Ideal Use Cases
- Startup CTOs who need their AI agent to switch between engineering, product strategy, and compliance advisory in a single session.
- DevOps teams standardizing agent behavior across a mixed tool ecosystem (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf).
- Freelance developers who want one skill library that works across all their client projects regardless of the AI tool in use.
- Enterprise compliance teams who need structured, repeatable processes for regulatory tasks embedded directly into their coding agents.
Community & Activity
This project is on fire. With 14,298 stars and active maintenance (last updated May 2026), it's rapidly becoming the standard for cross-platform AI agent skills. The community has contributed skills across 9 domains, and the project maintainers are clearly committed to keeping pace with the rapidly evolving AI coding agent landscape. The 235+ skills and 12-tool support demonstrate serious momentum—this isn't a side project, it's an ecosystem in the making.
