agent-starter-kit

description

One-command setup for a new AI coding agent. Installs the essential starter skills (find-skills, agent-browser, karpathy-guidelines, ui-ux-pro-max, caveman, arabic-design) across 70+ agents, plus the core Claude Code plugins/MCPs (frontend-design, superpowers, code-review, playwright, github, claude-md-management). Use when the user is setting up a new project or a fresh agent and asks for "the skills/MCPs I should start with", a "starter pack", or "set up my agent".

Agent Starter Kit

The skills, plugins, and MCP servers worth installing the moment you open a new agent — bundled into one install. Instead of hunting them down one by one, run the installer and the agent starts with real capabilities: it can find and install more skills on demand, drive a browser, reason with guardrails, design clean UI (Arabic included), review its own code, and automate the browser + GitHub.

What it installs

Tier 1 — Skills (work on 70+ agents via npx skills: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):

Skill	What it gives the agent
find-skills	Discovers and installs any other skill on demand — the meta-skill
agent-browser	A real browser the agent controls itself (open, click, fill, verify)
karpathy-guidelines	Behavior rules: no silent assumptions, minimal solutions, verify before acting
ui-ux-pro-max	Design-system intelligence — styles, color palettes, font pairings
caveman	Blunt, no-fluff answers when you want signal over politeness
arabic-design	Clean Arabic in AI-generated designs (fixes the letter-spacing/RTL traps)

Tier 2 — Plugins / MCPs (Claude Code only):

Plugin / MCP	What it gives Claude Code
frontend-design	Anthropic's design guidance for polished, non-generic UI
superpowers	TDD + subagent orchestration workflow (brainstorm → design → build → review)
code-review	/code-review on any branch/PR — scored, actionable review
playwright (MCP)	Browser automation & end-to-end testing
github (MCP)	Read/manage GitHub repos, PRs, and issues from the agent
claude-md-management	Keeps your CLAUDE.md files organized and current

How to run it

From the skill directory:

bash install.sh                 # Claude Code — installs everything
bash install.sh --agent cursor  # Cursor — installs the Tier 1 skills
bash install.sh --agent codex   # Codex  — installs the Tier 1 skills
bash install.sh --agent '*'     # every detected agent
bash install.sh --skills-only   # skip the Claude-Code-only plugins/MCPs

The script is best-effort and safe to re-run: each item installs independently, and anything it can't install automatically prints the exact manual command to finish it.

When invoked as a skill

If an agent loads this skill to set up an environment: run install.sh with the right --agent for the current agent. Then confirm what installed and surface any manual fallback lines the script printed. In Claude Code, remind the user to restart (or run /plugin) so the new plugins load.

Honest scope note

• Tier 1 skills are genuinely cross-agent — npx skills targets 70+ agents.
• Tier 2 is Claude Code only. Codex/Cursor have no "plugin" equivalent. Their two MCP items (playwright, github) can still be added to Codex/Cursor through that agent's own MCP config — the script says so when you pass a non-Claude --agent.
