Get started with FlareSkill

Init a project, search the registry, install a skill, and pin versions with a lockfile.

FlareSkill treats agent instructions as packages. You search a catalog, install a skill into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and share the same versions with your team.

Install the CLI

You do not need a global install. Use npx:

npx flareskill init

init prepares the project so later installs have a place to land.

Find a skill

Browse the registry or search from the terminal:

npx flareskill search react

Open a skill page for the exact install command, version, tags, and source path on GitHub.

Install

npx flareskill install senior-react-engineer --agent cursor

Omit --agent if you want FlareSkill to detect the project. Use --agent claude or --agent codex when you know the target. Global installs go to the matching home directory.

Keep the team in sync

Project installs write flareskill.lock with versions and checksums.

  • npx flareskill outdated shows drift
  • npx flareskill update moves pins forward
  • npx flareskill install with no arguments syncs from the lockfile and fails if a checksum no longer matches the registry

That is the whole loop: search, install, lock, repeat.
