Install oss-kit

Guide · public documentation

Every host below reads the current skills from the repository’s canonical skills/ directory. Only the discovery path changes between hosts.

Invocation

Only oss-writing is available for automatic selection. It supplies writing guidance during commits, reviews, and documentation work.

The other eight skills require explicit invocation in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Use /oss-kit:oss-audit for the Claude Code plugin, $oss-audit in Codex, or /oss-audit in Cursor. Substitute the skill name for another task.

Claude Code and Cursor read disable-model-invocation in SKILL.md. Codex reads policy.allow_implicit_invocation in agents/openai.yaml. Other hosts can load the skills, but may not enforce these controls.

Any agent

The open skills CLI offers all nine skills under one row you can select in a single keystroke, then asks which of the agents it finds to install them into:

npx skills add svyatov/oss-kit

The row is there because .claude-plugin/plugin.json names every skill directory.

One skill at a time:

npx skills add svyatov/oss-kit --skill oss-readme

Kimi Code CLI, OpenCode, and Antigravity have no manifest of ours to read. Each of them finds skills by scanning a directory in your project, such as .agents/skills/ or .claude/skills/, and this command is what puts the skills there.

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and VS Code

All three read .claude-plugin/plugin.json, whose skills field defaults to skills/.

In Claude Code or Copilot CLI:

/plugin marketplace add svyatov/oss-kit
/plugin install oss-kit@oss-kit

In VS Code, run Chat: Install Plugin From Source and enter https://github.com/svyatov/oss-kit.

Codex CLI

This repository supplies .codex-plugin/plugin.json for Codex. Register the marketplace from the terminal:

codex plugin marketplace add svyatov/oss-kit

Then install the plugin:

codex plugin add oss-kit@oss-kit

If the CLI does not expose plugin add, use the client’s plugin installation interface after registering the marketplace.

Cursor

Reads .cursor-plugin/plugin.json. Install through the IDE’s Customize panel or from cursor.com/marketplace. A team admin can use Dashboard, Plugins & MCPs, Add Marketplace, Import from Repo.

The native catalog at .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json also supports Cursor CLI. With CLI v2026.07.13 or later, register the marketplace from a terminal:

agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/svyatov/oss-kit.git

Then open /plugin in Cursor CLI to select and install oss-kit.

Kimi Code

Kimi Code CLI has no manifest of ours. It finds skills by scanning .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/, so the skills CLI at the top of this page is the install path.

OpenCode

Scans .opencode/skills/, .claude/skills/, and .agents/skills/. The skills CLI above is the install path.

Gemini CLI

Installs the skills directory directly, with no manifest:

gemini skills install https://github.com/svyatov/oss-kit.git --path skills

Antigravity

Scans .agents/skills/ by default. The skills CLI above is the install path.

Every other agent

The skills are plain Markdown with YAML frontmatter, so any agent that reads instruction files can use them. Copy skills/ where your agent looks, or use the skills CLI above.
