vercel-labs/skills: The open agent skills tool - npx skills

The CLI, `npx skills`, is for the open agent skills ecosystem and supports many agents including OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
You can install skills from a GitHub shorthand, full GitHub URL, direct repo path, GitLab URL, any git URL, or a local path.
`npx skills use` can either print a generated prompt for one skill or start a supported agent interactively with that prompt.
`skills use` resolves sources like `skills add`, writes selected skill files to a temporary directory, and prints only the prompt unless `--agent` is provided.
Install scope can be project-wide by default or global with `-g/--global`, with project skills committed in `./skills/` and global skills stored in `~/skills/`.
Symlinking is the recommended installation method because it keeps one canonical copy and makes updates easier; copying is available when symlinks are not supported.
The CLI supports listing, finding, updating, removing, and initializing skills via commands like `list/ls`, `find`, `update`, `remove/rm`, and `init`.
`npx skills find` can search interactively or by keyword, and can search across repositories owned by a specific user or organization.
Agent skills are reusable instruction sets stored in `SKILL.md` files with YAML frontmatter containing a name and description.
The tool includes support for a long list of agents, each with specific project and global skill directories defined for installation.
