Free Agent Skills for Claude Code, Codex & Cursor

Engineering skills that make a coding agent finish real work — each one written down from the workflows we use to build and run this site, and tested on it.

Agent Skills are SKILL.md files — a name, a description and step-by-step instructions — that Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Cursor load automatically when a task matches. These 3 are free: view the full file, copy a one-line install command, or download the raw SKILL.md.

How to install an Agent Skill

Every skill is a single file served at /skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Put it in a folder with the same name inside your agent's skills directory:

AgentPersonal (all projects)Project (commit to repo)
Claude Code~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
OpenAI Codex~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Cursor~/.cursor/skills/ or ~/.agents/skills/.cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/

Paths checked against the official docs on 2026-10-12: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. Cursor also reads .claude/skills and .codex/skills.

Using another agent? The agent config matrix lists the skills folders for 17 agents, and the one-file guide shows how to share one .agents/skills folder.

FAQ

What are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are folders with a SKILL.md file — YAML frontmatter with a name and description, followed by instructions — that teach a coding agent a repeatable workflow. The agent sees only the name and description until a task matches, then loads the full instructions.
Do the same skills work in Claude Code, Codex and Cursor?
Yes. Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills or a project's .claude/skills, OpenAI Codex from ~/.agents/skills or a repo's .agents/skills, and Cursor from .cursor/skills, .agents/skills or the global ~/.cursor/skills and ~/.agents/skills folders — and Cursor also reads Claude and Codex skill folders.
Are these skills free?
Yes. All three skills are free to download, use and modify. A Pro collection with more engineering skills is planned; you can join the waitlist on this page.
How were the skills tested?
Each skill is the written-down version of a workflow we use to build and maintain getaicodingagent.com, and the scripts embedded in them are run against this site's own build.
