Skills Commands

Manage AI coding skills from the Context7 registry. Skills are Markdown files that teach AI coding agents best practices, patterns, and workflows for specific libraries or tasks.

Install

Install skills from any GitHub repository. Repository format is always /owner/repo.

ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills           # Interactive — pick from a list
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills pdf        # Install a specific skill by name
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills --all      # Install everything without prompting

Target a specific IDE with a flag:

ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills pdf --claude     # Claude Code only
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills pdf --cursor     # Cursor only
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills pdf --universal  # Universal (.agents/skills/)
ctx7 skills install /anthropics/skills --all --global   # All skills, global install

Alias: ctx7 si /anthropics/skills pdf

Search

Find skills across the entire registry by keyword. Shows an interactive list with install counts and trust scores. Select to install.

Suggest

Auto-detects your project dependencies and recommends relevant skills from the registry.

ctx7 skills suggest           # Scan current project, install to project
ctx7 skills suggest --global  # Install suggestions globally

IDE Flags

All skills commands accept these flags to target a specific AI coding assistant:

Flag	Directory	Used by
`--universal`	`.agents/skills/`	Amp, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot
`--claude`	`.claude/skills/`	Claude Code
`--cursor`	`.cursor/skills/`	Cursor
`--antigravity`	`.agent/skills/`	Antigravity

Without a flag, the CLI prompts you to select one or more targets interactively.

Add --global to any flag to install in your home directory instead of the current project.
