Best for

• Claude Code and Codex users who want an agent to pick skills from a large catalog via local MCP
• Installing specific SKILL.md playbooks into Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, and other agents
• Reviewing a validated skill manifest and install plan before changing a project

Install

npm exec --yes --ignore-scripts --package=agentic-awesome-skills@19.6.0 -- agentic-awesome-skills --release 19.6.0 --path .agents/skills --skills brainstorming,systematic-debugging --dry-run

Our take

Actively maintained community project (v19.6.0, MIT) with MCP setup documented for Codex and Claude via `aas mcp configure`, and direct npx install for many other hosts. AAS Core validates and previews skill stacks but explicitly does not rank, recommend, or certify skills for fit or safety; apply and recovery features are experimental. Also offers domain-focused plugin bundles for Claude Code and Codex and a browser-based Workbench for reviewing plans.
