Installing Skills

Installing Skills

Quick Install (All Skills)

git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
cd claude-skills
bash scripts/install.sh

The install script detects which tools you have and sets up skills for each.

Manual Install by Tool

Claude Code

Claude Code reads skills from CLAUDE.md or files referenced in your project.

Option 1: Project-level (recommended)

# Copy specific skills into your project
cp claude-skills/marketing-skill/copywriting/SKILL.md ./SKILLS/copywriting.md

# Reference in CLAUDE.md
echo "Read SKILLS/copywriting.md for copywriting expertise." >> CLAUDE.md

Option 2: Global skills

# Copy to ~/.claude/skills/
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp claude-skills/marketing-skill/copywriting/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/copywriting.md

Codex CLI

# Codex reads from .codex/ directory
mkdir -p .codex/skills
cp claude-skills/marketing-skill/copywriting/SKILL.md .codex/skills/copywriting.md

The repo includes pre-built symlinks in .codex/skills/ — clone the repo and they work out of the box.

Gemini CLI

# Gemini reads from .gemini/ directory
mkdir -p .gemini/skills
cp claude-skills/marketing-skill/copywriting/SKILL.md .gemini/skills/copywriting.md

Pre-built symlinks are in .gemini/skills/.

OpenClaw

# Install via ClawHub
clawhub install copywriting

# Or copy directly
cp claude-skills/marketing-skill/copywriting/SKILL.md ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/copywriting.md

Multi-Tool Install

The scripts/convert.sh tool converts skills for different platforms:

# Convert all skills for a specific tool
bash scripts/convert.sh --target codex
bash scripts/convert.sh --target gemini
bash scripts/convert.sh --target openclaw

Installing Personas

Personas go in the agents/ directory of your project:

# Copy a persona
cp claude-skills/agents/personas/product-manager.md ./agents/product-manager.md

# Reference in your agent config
# Personas activate automatically when Claude reads them

Installing the Autoresearch Agent

# Copy the entire autoresearch-agent directory
cp -r claude-skills/engineering/autoresearch-agent/ ./autoresearch-agent/

# Run setup
python3 autoresearch-agent/scripts/setup_experiment.py --interactive

See Autoresearch Agent for full documentation.

Verifying Installation

After installing, test that skills activate:

You: "Audit my landing page copy"
Claude: [Should activate copywriting or copy-editing skill]

You: "/pm:story Create a user story for dark mode"
Claude: [Should activate Product Manager persona]

If skills don't activate, check:

1. File is named SKILL.md (case-sensitive)
2. File is in a directory Claude/Codex/Gemini can access
3. The skill's description field matches your request
