Implementation Guides

Install skills in under 2 minutes

Step-by-step setup for each supported platform. Every skill ships with adapters for all four — just copy the right file and go.

🟠

Claude Code

File: SKILL.md

Setup Steps

  1. Download and unzip your skill package.
  2. Open the `claude-code/` directory inside the zip.
  3. Preferred: install the included `<skill-name>.skill` file through Claude Skills/Extensions.
  4. Manual fallback: copy `SKILL.md` into `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` in your project, or into your Claude user skills directory for global use.
  5. Restart Claude Code if the new skill does not appear in the skill list immediately.
  6. Start a conversation with Claude Code — the skill instructions are loaded as context.
  7. Ask Claude to perform the task described in the skill (e.g., "Run a deep research report on X").

Tips

  • The `.skill` package is the most reliable discovery path for Claude.
  • The manual `SKILL.md` fallback works like a contract — Claude follows the structure, constraints, and output format defined in the file.
  • The skill works with any Claude model (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku).
🟢

Codex

File: SKILL.md

Setup Steps

  1. Download and unzip your skill package.
  2. Open the `codex/` directory inside the zip.
  3. Copy `SKILL.md` into `~/.codex/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` (or `.codex/skills/` in your project).
  4. Codex loads skills automatically from the skills directory.
  5. Run your task: `codex exec "Perform deep research on X"`
  6. Codex follows the instructions, process, and rules defined in SKILL.md.

Tips

  • SKILL.md follows the open AgentSkills spec — the same format works across Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other compatible agents.
  • You can install skills globally in `~/.codex/skills/` or per-project in `.codex/skills/`.
  • Codex uses progressive disclosure — it reads metadata first and loads full instructions only when activating the skill.
🔵

OpenClaw

File: SKILL.md

Setup Steps

  1. Download and unzip your skill package.
  2. Open the `openclaw/` directory inside the zip.
  3. Copy `SKILL.md` into `~/.openclaw/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` (or your workspace skills directory).
  4. The skill appears automatically in OpenClaw's available skills list.
  5. OpenClaw reads the YAML frontmatter for metadata and the markdown body for execution instructions.
  6. Trigger the skill via conversation or automation — OpenClaw handles tool routing and execution.

Tips

  • SKILL.md uses YAML frontmatter for metadata (name, description, tools, tags).
  • The markdown body contains the full skill instructions that OpenClaw follows.
  • Skills can declare tool dependencies (web_search, web_fetch, etc.) in the frontmatter metadata.
🔷

Google Antigravity

File: SKILL.md

Setup Steps

  1. Download and unzip your skill package.
  2. Open the `antigravity/` directory inside the zip.
  3. Create `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/` for a workspace skill, or `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<skill-name>/` for a global skill, if the directory does not already exist.
  4. For a workspace skill, copy `SKILL.md` into `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
  5. For a global skill, copy `SKILL.md` into `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
  6. Restart or refresh Antigravity if the skill does not appear immediately in the available skills list.
  7. Run the matching task in an Antigravity project; the agent will load the SKILL.md instructions when relevant.

Tips

  • Antigravity skills use YAML frontmatter on line 1 with a clear description for skill discovery.
  • Bundle and library downloads also include an `antigravity-plugin/` folder for CLI plugin-style installs.
  • Use workspace installation for team/project conventions and global installation for personal utility skills.
