skillkit

The toolbox for AI agent skills. Scaffold, lint, pack, and install SKILL.md skills — and serve your whole skill library to Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client with a built-in Model Context Protocol server.

Community audits found that the overwhelming majority of published

SKILL.md files carry at least one "skill smell" — and a large share leak

secrets. skillkit catches those before you ship.

Features

leaked API keys, vague descriptions, oversized bodies, folder typos, and more (scored 0–100 with a grade)

• new — scaffold a spec-compliant skill folder in one command
• lint — validate against the Agent Skills spec plus security smells:

~/.claude/skills (or your own directory)

• pack — zip a skill for upload to skill-capable platforms
• install — install from a folder or any git URL into

exposes listskills, readskill, and lint_skill tools to any client

• list / remove — manage your installed skill library
• mcp — a zero-dependency MCP server (stdio, JSON-RPC 2.0) that

• 76 tests, CI on Python 3.10 → 3.12

Quick start

# run without installing (uvx — pulls from PyPI on demand)
uvx --from skillkit-cli skillkit lint ./skills

# or install (installs the `skillkit` command)
pipx install skillkit-cli

# ...or from source
git clone https://github.com/furkan708/skillkit.git
cd skillkit && pip install .

# 1. create a skill
skillkit new commit-writer -d "Writes conventional commit messages from staged diffs. Use when the user asks to commit changes."

# 2. lint it (spec + security + quality)
skillkit lint commit-writer
# ✓ no issues found
# score: 100/100 (grade A) · 0 errors · 0 warnings · 0 notes

# 3. pack it for upload
skillkit pack commit-writer        # → commit-writer.zip

# 4. install it for Claude Code
skillkit install ./commit-writer   # → ~/.claude/skills/commit-writer

Serve your skills over MCP

Add skillkit to any MCP client config — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and every other MCP-compatible agent:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillkit": { "command": "skillkit", "args": ["mcp"] }
  }
}

Your agent can now discover and read every installed skill on demand:
