axx skills

View .mdOpen in Claude

Axx ships Agent Skills (SKILL.md + references) for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot and other agents that read .agents/skills. The step references are generated from this project’s steps.

Usage:
axx skills [command]
Available Commands:
install Install or update the skills (project: .agents/skills + .claude/skills)
list List the skills axx provides
Flags:
-h, --help help for skills
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)
Use "axx skills [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Write the skills to .agents/skills/ (read by Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Copilot) and, when the project uses Claude Code (a .claude directory, CLAUDE.md or .mcp.json), link them into .claude/skills/ for it: –claude links them anyway, –no-claude never. Re-running updates them; files you edited are kept unless –force.

Usage:
axx skills install [flags]
Flags:
--claude link into .claude/skills even if the project does not use Claude Code
-D, --define stringArray set a property for ${sys:name}, e.g. -D local.host=docker
--force overwrite skill files you edited
-h, --help help for install
--no-claude do not link into .claude/skills
--profile string apply profiles.<name> / axx.<name>.yaml, several comma-separated in order, like watch,ios (env: AXX_PROFILE)
--scope string project (this repo) or user (your home directory) (default "project")
--set stringArray set a key of axx.yaml for this run, over its files and profiles, e.g. --set run.workers=1 or --set packs.<pack>.<key>=value
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)
