devskills-cli

An interactive CLI to scaffold AI/ML production projects using the uv package manager. No flags — just prompts.

Installation

pip install devskills-cli

Requires Python 3.10+ and uv.

Commands

dev start — Scaffold a new project

Run this inside any directory:

dev start

It will ask you four questions:

1. Project name — type a name to create a new folder, or . to scaffold in the current directory
2. Project structure — choose one:
   • AI / ML — includes app/, src/inference/, src/services/, src/database/, models/, tests/, docs/, config/, .github/
   • API — includes app/, src/services/, src/database/, tests/, docs/, config/
   • Minimal — includes app/, tests/, config/
   • None — empty project (just pyproject.toml + .gitignore)
3. Optional features — space to toggle, enter to confirm:
   • Docker — adds Dockerfile and .dockerignore
   • Claude — adds .claude/ folder for Claude Code integration
4. Create .venv now? — runs uv venv immediately if yes

After confirming, your project is ready with next steps printed on screen.

dev skills — Manage Claude Code skills

These commands require a .claude/ folder in your current directory (created by dev start when you select the Claude feature).

Search and install a skill

dev skills find <keyword>

Searches skills.sh for matching skills, lets you pick one, and installs it into .claude/skills/.

Example:

dev skills find debugging

Install a specific skill directly

dev skills install <owner/repo>

Install one or more skills by their reference without searching:

dev skills install anthropics/skills
dev skills install anthropics/skills some-other/skill

Browse top skills

dev skills list

Shows the top skills from the skills.sh leaderboard in a table.
