Getting Started

Install equip and manage your first skill in under a minute.

Install equip

$ brew install bradleydwyer/tap/equip

Grab the latest release for your platform from GitHub Releases. Extract the binary and add it to your PATH.

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/bradleydwyer/equip

$ equip --version
equip 0.5.0

Skills are installed from GitHub repos, git URLs, or local paths. The simplest form is owner/repo:

$ equip install anthropics/skill-creator
✓ Installed skill-creator to 3 agents
  → claude-code, cursor, windsurf

equip auto-detects which agents are installed on your machine and distributes the skill to all of them. No configuration needed.

Tip

Use equip search "query" to discover skills from the registry of 180,000+ indexed skills.

$ equip list
  skill-creator       3 agents  ✓ up to date
  frontend-design     3 agents  ✓ up to date

Add --long for full descriptions, or --json for machine-readable output.

Pull the latest version of all installed skills from their sources:

$ equip update
✓ Updated skill-creator (1 file changed)
  ✓ frontend-design is up to date

Or update a specific skill by name:

$ equip update skill-creator

By default, skills install globally (available everywhere). Use --local to install into the current project only:

$ equip install ./my-skill --local
✓ Installed my-skill to 3 agents (project-local)

Project-local skills live in directories like .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, etc. within your project root. See Scopes for details.

$ equip remove skill-creator
✓ Removed skill-creator from 3 agents
