Skill CLI

About

Skill CLI is a lightweight, zero-dependency utility designed to port the Claude Code Skills system to any environment, including GitHub Actions, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex. By implementing a progressive disclosure strategy, it allows AI coding assistants to load minimal context initially and retrieve detailed documentation only when necessary, resulting in token savings of 70-90%. This tool facilitates hot-swapping skills during development without restarting the IDE and provides a centralized way to search, list, and reference domain-specific guidance across various platforms.

Key Features

• Advanced search and discovery functionality across all skill libraries
• Hot-swappable skill loading without requiring environment restarts
• Multi-platform support for GitHub Actions, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex
• Zero-dependency implementation using pure Node.js for easy portability
• Progressive disclosure engine to reduce token consumption by 70-90%
• 6 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Using Claude Code's skill system within alternative IDEs like Cursor or Windsurf
• Integrating custom AI skills into GitHub Actions for automated CI/CD workflows
• Optimizing token budgets by loading domain-specific details only when strictly relevant
