Skills Hub
Drives the real skills-hub CLI to browse and install preset skill kits, but kit apply silently requires a GUI-only project-registration step the SKILL.md never mentions.

Ran the real bundled CLI end to end in a throwaway HOME: `kit preset-list`, `preset-search`, and `preset-inspect` all worked and returned genuine curated preset data; `kit preset-install --id web-frontend-excellence` actually cloned real skills from 3 live GitHub sources (vercel-labs/agent-skills, addyosmani/web-quality-skills, anthropics/skills). But the documented final step, `kit apply --id <kit> --project <path> --agent <name>`, fails with 'Target project is not registered in Skills Hub' -- tracing the CLI source (lib/services/kit-service.mjs:802) shows project/agent registration has no CLI subcommand at all; it's only reachable through the separate Tauri desktop app, which the SKILL.md never mentions as a prerequisite.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Skills Hub does
Orchestrates the skills-hub CLI's preset catalog to recommend, inspect, and install AGENTS.md policy + skill-package kits for a project (React/Next.js, Python API, LangChain, etc.), then applies the installed kit to a target project and agent. Triggers on requests to pick a project setup from Skills Hub presets, browse/inspect presets, or install/apply a skill kit.
How to install Skills Hub
git clone https://github.com/PotatoDog1669/skills-hub
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills-hub/.codex/skills/skills-hub ~/.claude/skills/skills-hub
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Skills Hub
-
/skills-hubDrives the real skills-hub CLI to browse and install preset skill kits, but kit apply silently requires a GUI-only project-registration step the SKILL.md never mentions.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Recommend a skill kit preset for a Next.js frontend project I'm starting. -
Browse the available AGENTS.md policy kits before I pick a project setup. -
Install the Python API preset kit and apply it to this project.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Skills Hub skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from PotatoDog1669/skills-hub. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Skills Hub work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Ran the real bundled CLI end to end in a throwaway HOME: `kit preset-list`, `preset-search`, and `preset-inspect` all worked and returned genuine curated preset data; `kit preset-install --id web-frontend-excellence` actually cloned real skills from 3 live GitHub sources (vercel-labs/agent-skills, addyosmani/web-quality-skills, anthropics/skills).

- What is the Skills Hub SkillProof Score?
- 7.6/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- How do I install Skills Hub?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Skills Hub with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
