Copy skill directories from .agents/skills/ to your project. Most AI coding agents support the .agents/skills/ path:
# Copy a single skill (create directory if needed)
mkdir -p /path/to/your-project/.agents/skills
cp -r .agents/skills/commit-message-creation /path/to/your-project/.agents/skills/
# Copy all skills (warning: overwrites existing skills with same names)
mkdir -p /path/to/your-project/.agents/skills
cp -r .agents/skills/* /path/to/your-project/.agents/skills/-
For Cursor, also supported:
