1 skills (instruction sets) by jackwener that an AI reads and follows · not an MCP server
How a Skill differs from MCP
MCP connects an AI to an outside service or data. A Skill is a how-to guide the AI reads and follows; it connects to nothing.

Checked automatically from the repo files at commit 9bc5f5c (read only, nothing was run). Not a safety guarantee: read it and decide for yourself
Option 1Let the AI install it
Works in Claude Code, Codex and Cursor · Copy this sentence into the app’s chat
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
Checking the commands · copy buttons appear once they pass
Copied from the maker’s README; it downloads and runs the maker’s code
Which app do you use?
Open Terminal
Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: the command below does not work in PowerShell; use “Let AI install it” above instead
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
Checking the commands · copy buttons appear once they pass
Restart Claude Code, then type /opencli-browser or ask for a matching task and Claude picks it up
Open Terminal
Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: the command below does not work in PowerShell; use “Let AI install it” above instead
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
Checking the commands · copy buttons appear once they pass
Restart Codex, then ask for a matching task; Codex lists the skill
Open Terminal
Mac: press Command+Space and type Terminal · Windows: the command below does not work in PowerShell; use “Let AI install it” above instead
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
Checking the commands · copy buttons appear once they pass
In Cursor’s Agent chat, type / and pick opencli-browser
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.

Option 2Upload to claude.ai (web and app)
Files are byte-for-byte the same as on GitHub at commit 9bc5f5c · View on GitHub ↗
Plain text files, no programs
Once uploaded it runs on Claude’s systems, not on your computer. No need to unzip

Open Skills on claude.ai and upload

No Upload button? Turn on file creation first
SettingsCapabilitiesCode execution and file creation
Turn on Code execution and file creation first (newer menus: Create and edit files) · personal plans: Settings → Capabilities · Team/Enterprise: an admin turns it on under Organization settings → Plugins & skills · every plan, including Free
Upload once; it works in claude.ai and Claude Desktop, and in recent Claude Code signed in with a Claude account (not with an API key)
Cowork and cloud sessions use the skills turned on in your claude.ai account, not ~/.claude/skills on your computer (Claude Desktop scheduled tasks run locally and still load it)
