Appstrate Skills

Agent Skills for working with Appstrate, the open-source agent runtime platform. Install one into your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, …) and it becomes an Appstrate expert.

Quick install

Universal one-liner (auto-detects your coding agent and drops the skill in the right place):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate

Or pick your target explicitly:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate --claude
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate --cursor
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate --antigravity
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate --universal

Prefer git clone directly? Skills are plain folders — see each skill's README below for the target path per agent.

Updating

Skills evolve. Pull the latest version by re-running the installer with --update:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appstrate/skills/main/install.sh | bash -s appstrate --update

The flag is an alias for APPSTRATE_SKILLS_FORCE=1 — it overwrites the existing install instead of failing. Without --update, a fresh install into an existing directory errors out as a safety net.

First-party skills

Skill	What it does
appstrate	Install Appstrate, sign in, call the REST API, author AFPS packages, manage profiles across cloud + self-hosted + dev instances

More first-party skills ship as we write them. Planned: afps-authoring, agent-writing, multi-tenancy, self-hosting-troubleshooter.

What is an Agent Skill?

A directory with a SKILL.md file. The markdown has YAML frontmatter (name, description) that tells your agent when to use it, followed by instructions, references, and scripts the agent can load on demand. Standard introduced by Anthropic; now supported (with minor path variations) by every major coding agent.

The description field matters: that's what your agent reads to decide whether to load the skill for a given request. Keep it rich, keyword-dense, and specific to triggers.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md — two paths: add a first-party skill (PR a folder under skills/) or link your own repo (PR a line in COMMUNITY.md).
