Skills for coding agents
Builder.io Skills is a curated library of composable agent skills that extend coding agents with planning, review, orchestration, and memory capabilities. It provides over a dozen specialized skills ranging from visual plan generation and diff recaps to multi-agent orchestration and screen memory access through Clips Desktop. Skills install via a CLI picker that configures agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, with options for user-level or project-level deployment and managed instruction blocks.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Generating scannable, commentable visual plans before starting code changes to get human approval on architecture and approach
- 02Creating interactive diff recaps for pull requests that highlight schema changes, API contracts, and UI impact beyond raw line-by-line review
- 03Recovering recent screen context or conversation history from local Clips memory when resuming interrupted agent tasks
- 04Orchestrating expensive frontier models like Claude Fable to focus on judgment while delegating token-heavy research and coding to cheaper helper agents
- 05Auditing and reviewing work produced by one agent using a separate watchdog agent for quality control in multi-agent workflows
- 06Enforcing documentation-first development by requiring agents to search official docs before implementing external API integrations or framework configurations

skills — FAQ
What are Builder.io Skills?+
Builder.io Skills is a collection of small, composable agent skills designed for coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. Each skill adds specific capabilities such as visual planning, diff recaps, screen memory access, multi-agent orchestration, or documentation-first development workflows.
How do I install these agent skills?+
Run 'npx @agent-native/skills@latest add' to launch an interactive picker that shows the full catalog with recommended skills preselected. The installer configures skills for your chosen agents, sets up managed instruction blocks, and optionally adds the PR Visual Recap GitHub Action. You can also install specific skills with '--skill' flags or use the Claude Code plugin marketplace.
Which AI coding agents work with these skills?+
These skills support Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, VS Code agents, and similar coding agents that read from the shared '.agents' path or Claude Code's native skills directory. The installer automatically configures the appropriate paths for your selected client.
Does the Rewind skill require any prerequisites?+
Yes, the Rewind skill requires macOS, the signed Clips Desktop app (downloaded from clips.agent-native.com/download), and a compatible agent with the local 'clips-screen-memory' MCP connection configured. The skill asks permission before opening the official Clips installer and does not enable screen capture silently.
Are these skills free to use?+
The skills themselves are open source on GitHub. Visual plans and recaps can use free local-files mode or optional hosted shareable links. The Rewind skill requires the separate Clips Desktop app, which has its own licensing.
Can I install individual skills instead of the entire collection?+
Yes, use 'npx @agent-native/skills@latest add --skill <skill-name>' to install specific skills like quick-recap, visual-recap, or rewind. You can also copy plain skill folders with 'npx skills@latest add BuilderIO/skills --skill <skill-name>', though this won't configure managed instructions or GitHub Actions.
How do I install skills?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. skills is a skill — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
