💡 Philosophy

"Write once. Run everywhere."

AI coding agents are evolving fast, and each has its own way of doing things:

Claude Code    →  CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/
GitHub Copilot →  AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md
Codex          →  SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/
Cursor         →  .cursor/rules/*.mdc
Windsurf       →  Cascade Rules, Memories
Cline          →  .clinerules
Factory/Droid  →  .factory/droids/*.md
OpenCode       →  .opencode/skill/, opencode.json

The n-skills Way

We embrace the diversity with a universal approach:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                         │
│   SKILL.md          →  The universal skill format      │
│   AGENTS.md         →  The universal discovery file    │
│   openskills        →  The universal installer         │
│                                                         │
│   Write once. Run everywhere.                          │
│                                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

AGENTS.md is now adopted by 20,000+ repositories and natively supported by GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini, OpenAI Codex, Factory Droid, Cursor, and more.

n-skills is a curated marketplace. Install via openskills or use your agent's native installer — your choice!

🔄 Auto-Sync from Upstream

External skills stay in sync with their source repos automatically.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                             │
│   Your Repo              n-skills                           │
│   ────────              ────────                            │
│   skills/my-skill/  ──►  skills/category/my-skill/         │
│                                                             │
│   Daily cron syncs your latest changes.                    │
│   You maintain ownership. We curate the collection.        │
│                                                             │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

How it works:

1. You maintain your skill in your own repo
2. Add an entry to sources.yaml via PR
3. GitHub Actions syncs your skill folder daily
4. Attribution preserved via .source.json

Why not submodules? Submodule hell is real. This approach is simpler and works with openskills, Claude Code, and every other tool without special handling.
