Configuration ### Environment Variables ```bash # Override default installation path export AGENTIC_SKILLS_PATH=~/.my-custom-skills # Use specific branch/tag export AGENTIC_SKILLS_TAG=main # Skip verification prompts export AGENTIC_SKILLS_AUTO_CONFIRM=true ``` ### Configuration File (.agenticrc) Create `~/.agenticrc` for persistent settings: ```json { "defaultPath": "~/.agents/skills", "autoUpdate": true, "updateInterval": "weekly", "preferredPlugins": [ "web-app-builder", "security-engineer", "data-analytics" ], "excludeCategories": ["experimental"], "riskLevel": "safe" } ``` ### Tool-Specific Configuration #### Claude Code Plugin ```json // ~/.claude/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills/config.json { "enabled": true, "autoLoad": true, "categories": ["development", "security", "testing"], "maxSkills": 1935 } ``` #### Cursor Settings ```json // .cursor/settings.json { "cursor.skills.path": "~/.agents/skills", "cursor.skills.autoLoad": true, "cursor.skills.categories": ["all"] } ``` ## Real-World Examples ### Example 1: Install Full Library and Use Planning Skill ```bash # Install to default path npx agentic-awesome-skills # In Claude Code >> /planning I need to architect a new payment processing system with Stripe ``` **Expected output:** Detailed project plan with phases, dependencies, milestones, security considerations, and testing strategy. ### Example 2: Install Security Plugin and Audit Code ```bash # Install security-focused plugin npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin security-engineer # In Cursor, open a file with authentication logic @security-audit review this JWT implementation for vulnerabilities ``` **Expected output:** Security assessment covering token validation, expiration, secret management, XSS/CSRF risks, and remediation steps. ### Example 3: Install Web Plugin for Full-Stack Development ```python # Install web development plugin import subprocess subprocess.run(["npx", "agentic-awesome-skills", "--plugin", "web-app-builder"]) # In Antigravity IDE @react-component-builder create a user profile card with avatar, name, bio, and edit button ``` **Expected output:** React component with TypeScript, proper props interface, accessibility attributes, and CSS modules. ### Example 4: Update Existing Installation ```bash # Update to latest version npx agentic-awesome-skills --update # Or reinstall from scratch rm -rf ~/.agents/skills npx agentic-awesome-skills ``` ### Example 5: Filter Skills by Category and Risk ```bash # Install only safe development skills npx agentic-awesome-skills \ --category development,backend,testing \ --risk safe,none \ --path ./filtered-skills # Verify filtered installation ls ./filtered-skills | wc -l ``` ### Example 6: Programmatic Installation (Python) ```python import subprocess import os from pathlib import Path def install_agentic_skills(path=None, plugin=None): """Install agentic awesome skills library.""" cmd = ["npx", "agentic-awesome-skills"] if path: cmd.extend(["--path", str(Path(path).expanduser())]) if plugin: cmd.extend(["--plugin", plugin]) result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True) if result.returncode == 0: print(f"✓ Skills installed successfully") return True else: print(f"✗ Installation failed: {result.stderr}") return False # Install full library install_agentic_skills(path="~/.agents/skills") # Install specialized plugin install_agentic_skills( path="~/.agents/skills", plugin="data-analytics" ) ``` ### Example 7: Verify Installation and List Skills ```bash # Verify installation test -d ~/.agents/skills && echo "✓ Installed" || echo "✗ Not installed" # Count installed skills find ~/.agents/skills -name "SKILL.md" | wc -l # List all skill names find ~/.agents/skills -name "SKILL.md" -exec basename {} .md \; | sort # Search for specific skills find ~/.agents/skills -name "*security*.md" find ~/.agents/skills -name "*test*.md" find ~/.agents/skills -name "*api*.md" ``` ## Common Patterns ### Pattern 1: Domain-Specific Installation ```bash # Web development team npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin web-app-builder npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin qa-test-automation # Security team npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin security-engineer npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin secure-app-builder # Data team npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin data-analytics npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin api-platform-builder # Platform/SRE team npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin devops-cloud npx agentic-awesome-skills --plugin oss-maintainer ``` ### Pattern 2: Skill Chaining ```bash # In Claude Code or Cursor >> /planning create architecture for user authentication >> /api-design design REST endpoints for the planned architecture >> /secure-coding-review audit the authentication flow >> /testing create test plan for auth endpoints >> /code-review final review before merge ``` ### Pattern 3: Project-Local Installation ```bash # Install skills in project directory cd my-project npx agentic-awesome-skills --path .agents/skills # Add to .gitignore echo ".agents/skills/" >> .gitignore # Document in README echo "Run 'npx agentic-awesome-skills --path .agents/skills' to install agent skills" >> README.md ``` ### Pattern 4: Conditional Installation in CI/CD ```yaml # .github/workflows/ci.yml name: Install Agent Skills on: [push] jobs: install-skills: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - uses: actions/setup-node@v3 with: node-version: '18' - name: Install agent skills run: | npx agentic-awesome-skills \ --path .agents/skills \ --category development,testing \ --risk safe - name: Verify installation run: | test -d .agents/skills find .agents/skills -name "SKILL.md" | wc -l ```
