Reusable skills for AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more)
Project description
mythril-agent-skills
A unified skill management system for multi-agent AI coding assistants. This toolkit (distributed as a Python package) provides a curated collection of reusable skills plus centralized CLI commands to install, configure, and maintain them across Github Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI ...
What is a Skill?
A skill is a prompt/instruction bundle that teaches an AI assistant how to handle a specific type of task. Think of it like a specialized tool: it has a name, a triggering description, and detailed instructions.
There are two primary types of skills based on their scope and how they are managed:
| Feature | User-Level Skills (Global) | Project-Level Skills (Local) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Available across all your projects | Confined to a specific project repository |
| Portability | Reusable across different projects on your machine | Moves with that specific project repository |
| Use Cases | General-purpose tools (e.g., Jira integration, code review, Git operations, Figma) | Project-specific rules (e.g., custom UI guidelines, specific build/deploy steps) |
| Management | Installed in your user home directory (~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, etc.) |
Stored inside the project directory (e.g., .claude/skills/, .github/skills/) |
| Version Control | Managed centrally via this toolkit | Committed to the project's Git repository and shared with the team |
How this toolkit fits in
mythril-agent-skills is designed to manage User-Level Skills. It acts as a centralized CLI toolkit to install, configure, and keep your general-purpose skills synchronized across multiple AI coding assistants on your machine.
For Project-Level Skills, you don't need this installer. Instead, we recommend using the included Skill Creator skill. Simply invoke the Skill Creator within your project workspace to scaffold a new project-specific skill, and then commit it directly to your version control system so your entire team can benefit from it.
Available Skills
| Skill | Description | Use When | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meta | |||
| Skill Creator | Create skills/prompts for any AI platform. Includes drafting, test case generation, evaluation, benchmarking, description optimization. | Create a new skill, improve triggering, or benchmark skill performance | — |
| Code Review | |||
| Code Review (Staged) | Context-aware code review for Git staged changes. Reads related files for validation, auto-generates and copies commit message to clipboard. | "review staged", "staged code review", "check staged", "look at staged", or "review staged code" | git CLI |
| Code Review (Local Branch Diff) | Context-aware code review for branch differences using pure local git operations. No platform API needed — works with any git repo (GitHub, GitLab, Gitee, Bitbucket, self-hosted, etc.). | "branch diff review", "branch review", "review feat/xxx to main", "compare branches for review" | git CLI |
| Code Review (Github PR) | Context-aware code review for Pull Requests via gh CLI. Supports github.com and GitHub Enterprise (any domain). Uses partial clone and sparse checkout for deep repo context. |
PR URL (e.g., contains /pull/) + explicit review request; host does not contain gitlab gitee bitbucket |
git CLI, gh CLI |
| Git & GitHub | |||
| Git Repo Reader | Clone, cache, and read any git repository from any hosting platform (GitHub, GitLab, Gitee, Bitbucket, self-hosted, etc.) for code exploration and analysis. Caches repos across sessions for reuse. | "look at this repo", "read this repo", "how does this repo implement X", git clone URL + code question | git CLI |
| GH Operations | Use GitHub CLI (gh) for GitHub issue/PR workflows: read/write issues, inspect/create pull requests, and add PR comments (including inline line-level review comments). |
"use gh", "gh issue", "gh pr", "comment on this PR line", or "add an inline PR comment" | gh CLI |
| API Integrations | |||
| Jira | Use Jira REST API (via bundled Python script) for issue, sprint, and board workflows. No CLI tools needed. | "jira issue", "jira card", "jira ticket", issue key (PROJ-123), or Jira URL | ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN, ATLASSIAN_USER_EMAIL, ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL |

Quick Start
Choose the path that fits your needs:
Option A: Use the skills provided (install via pip)
If you just want to install and use existing skills, start here. Install it from PyPI — no need to clone the repository:
pip install mythril-agent-skills
To upgrade to the latest version:
pip install -U mythril-agent-skills
This gives you four commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
skills-setup |
Interactive installer — select AI tools and skills to install |
skills-cleanup |
Interactive remover — select installed skills to remove |
skills-check |
Dependency checker — verify and configure required CLI tools and API keys |
skills-clean-cache |
Cache cleaner — remove temp files created by skills at runtime |
Install skills:
skills-setup # Interactive: select tools, then skills
skills-setup .cursor # Direct target: skip tool selection
Remove skills:
skills-cleanup
Check dependencies:
skills-check # Interactive: select skills to check
skills-check gh-operations jira figma # Check specific skills
Clean up cached temp files:
skills-clean-cache # Interactive: list cache, confirm before deleting
skills-clean-cache --force # Delete without confirmation
skills-clean-cache --show-repos # Optional: show cached repo names and sizes
The checker will:
- Launch an interactive UI to select skills (when run without arguments)
- Detect missing CLI tools (e.g.
gh) and offer to install them automatically - Prompt for missing API keys/tokens and save them to your shell config file
- Verify authentication status (e.g.
gh auth status)
Option B: Customize your own skills (GitHub fork or independent clone)
If you want to customize skills and keep your own repository, you have two equivalent paths:
- GitHub fork (stay linked to upstream on github.com)
- Independent clone (fully detach from upstream, any platform)
Pick one setup below, then follow the shared usage steps after it.
Setup A — GitHub fork (linked to upstream):
# Fork on GitHub, then clone your fork:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/mythril-agent-skills.git
cd mythril-agent-skills
Setup B — Independent clone (detached from upstream, non-GitHub hosting):
# 1. Clone the original repo
git clone https://github.com/jie-meng/mythril-agent-skills.git
cd mythril-agent-skills
# 2. Detach from upstream (removes .git, creates fresh repo)
python3 scripts/init-fork.py
# 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to push to your new remote
The init script will:
- Delete
.githistory (severs the link to upstream) - Run
git init(empty repo — you make the first commit) - Optionally rename the root directory
Warning: This is a destructive, one-time operation. Run it on a fresh clone only.
Shared usage for both setups:
Run the scripts directly — no installation needed:
python3 scripts/skills-setup.py # Interactive installer
python3 scripts/skills-cleanup.py # Interactive remover
python3 scripts/skills-check.py # Dependency checker
Stay up to date with upstream (optional):
- Setup A (GitHub fork): use GitHub's built-in "Sync fork" button
- Setup B (Independent clone): use the bundled sync script (below)
python3 scripts/sync-upstream.py # Interactive sync
python3 scripts/sync-upstream.py --dry-run # Preview changes only
python3 scripts/sync-upstream.py --force # Apply without confirmation
The sync script only processes skills that exist in upstream. Your custom skills with unique names are never touched — no configuration needed.
Use exclude_skills in .sync-upstream.json only when you need to prevent an upstream skill from being overwritten (e.g., you've modified jira locally, or you want to protect a custom skill name in case upstream adds one with the same name in the future):
{
"exclude_skills": ["jira"]
}
For the full guide, see docs/FORK-SYNC.md.
- Works well when you only add custom skills with unique names — no conflicts
- If you've modified an upstream skill (e.g., customized
jira), you may get merge conflicts that need manual resolution
How the Installer Works
The skills-setup command guides you through two interactive screens:
- Select AI tools — choose which tools to install skills to
- Select skills — choose which skills to install
Select skills to install:
Up/Down move | Space toggle | a all/none | Enter confirm | q quit
[x] Select All / Deselect All
------------------------------------
[x] code-review-staged
[x] figma
[x] gh-operations
[x] jira
[x] skill-creator
5/5 selected
Tools that are not installed on your machine are shown dimmed with [-] markers and cannot be selected.
After installation, skills-check runs automatically for skills that need external dependencies (CLI tools or API tokens).
Supported tools and skills paths
All config directories are relative to the user home directory (~ on macOS/Linux, %USERPROFILE% on Windows).
| # | Tool | Skills path |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Copilot CLI / VS Code | ~/.copilot/skills/ |
| 2 | Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ |
| 3 | Cursor | ~/.cursor/skills/ |
| 4 | Codex | ~/.codex/skills/ |
| 5 | Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/skills/ |
| 6 | Qwen CLI | ~/.qwen/skills/ |
| 7 | Opencode | ~/.config/opencode/skills/ |
| 8 | Grok CLI | ~/.grok/skills/ |
Cleanup installed skills
skills-cleanup
The cleanup command guides you through two screens:
- Select AI tools — choose which tool directories to scan (defaults to all detected)
- Select skills to remove — a tree view showing each tool and its installed skills (defaults to none selected)
Select skills to remove:
Up/Down move | Space toggle | a all/none | Enter confirm | q quit
[ ] Select All / Deselect All
------------------------------------
Copilot CLI ~/.copilot/skills/ (0/3)
[ ] code-review-staged
[ ] figma
[ ] skill-creator
Cursor ~/.cursor/skills/ (0/2)
[ ] gh-operations
[ ] jira
0/5 selected for removal
Project-specific setup
To install skills at the project level instead, manually copy them:
cp -r mythril_agent_skills/skills/skill-name ./your-project/.github/skills/
# or
cp -r mythril_agent_skills/skills/skill-name ./your-project/.claude/skills/
