    No hooks or writes to machine settings found

Let the AI install it

Works in Claude Code, Codex and Cursor · Copy this sentence into the app’s chat

Where to install
Please install the skill spec-driven-development from https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills folder skills/spec-driven-development (commit 301b02b) for all my projects, at ~/.claude/skills/spec-driven-development (in Codex use ~/.agents/skills/spec-driven-development, in Cursor ~/.cursor/skills/spec-driven-development). First show me every file and tell me whether it has scripts or changes machine settings, then tell me the full path you will install to and wait for me to agree.
Please install the skill spec-driven-development from https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills folder skills/spec-driven-development (commit 301b02b) into the project this chat is open in (at .claude/skills/spec-driven-development).

For one project, paste it into a chat that is open in that project’s folder · The AI always shows you the path before installing

The AI tells you what it will do first and asks your permission at every step

For Terminal users

A Skill is instructions the AI will follow. Read the files before installing, and install only from makers you trust.

The maker’s recommended way

npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills

Copied from the maker’s README; it downloads and runs the maker’s code

Which app do you use?

  1. Open Terminal

    Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: open PowerShell (the command below is for Mac/Linux)

  2. Copy the skill folder to ~/.claude/skills

    This downloads the repo to a temporary folder and copies only the folders that contain a SKILL.md

    rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills.git /tmp/popnx-skill && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -R '/tmp/popnx-skill/skills/spec-driven-development' ~/.claude/skills/spec-driven-development && rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill

  3. Restart Claude Code, then type /spec-driven-development or ask for a matching task and Claude picks it up

  1. Open Terminal

    Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: open PowerShell (the command below is for Mac/Linux)

  2. Copy the skill folder to ~/.agents/skills

    This downloads the repo to a temporary folder and copies only the folders that contain a SKILL.md

    rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills.git /tmp/popnx-skill && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R '/tmp/popnx-skill/skills/spec-driven-development' ~/.agents/skills/spec-driven-development && rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill

  3. Restart Codex, then ask for a matching task; Codex lists the skill

  1. Open Terminal

    Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: open PowerShell (the command below is for Mac/Linux)

  2. Copy the skill folder to ~/.cursor/skills

    This downloads the repo to a temporary folder and copies only the folders that contain a SKILL.md

    rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills.git /tmp/popnx-skill && mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills && cp -R '/tmp/popnx-skill/skills/spec-driven-development' ~/.cursor/skills/spec-driven-development && rm -rf /tmp/popnx-skill

  3. In Cursor’s Agent chat, type / and pick spec-driven-development

Other apps that support Agent Skills (such as Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot) use different folders. Check that app’s guide, then copy the folder with the SKILL.md there.
