SuperSkill

The runtime intelligence layer for AI agent skills.

The Problem

skills.sh solved skill discovery and installation — 90,000+ skills, 40+ agents, one standard. But installation is static. You browse, pick, install, and hope you chose right.

When you have 15 skills installed and say "write tests for my Go API" — which one loads? What about the three competing TDD skills? What if the model's context window can't fit them all?

skills.sh is where you find skills. SuperSkill is what loads the right one at the right time.

How It Works

1. Install skills however you want — npx skills add, manual download, or use the 87 built-in skills
2. Describe your task — "write tests for my Go API"
3. SuperSkill scores, resolves, and loads — trigger-based matching picks the best skill, resolves collisions, respects your context budget

SuperSkill scans your installed skills (from ~/.claude/skills/, ~/.cursor/skills/, etc.), merges them with its built-in catalog, and routes tasks to the best match at runtime.

What SuperSkill Adds

Layer	What it does	Why you need it
Router	Task description → best matching skill	No manual browsing or memorizing skill names
Arbiter	3 TDD skills installed? Profile picks the winner	Prevents collision chaos and token waste
Scanner	Discovers installed skills from any source	Works with skills.sh, manual installs, or built-in
Memory	Remembers activations within a session	No redundant fetches for similar tasks
Vault	ADRs, learnings, sessions, project context	Persistent knowledge that survives across sessions

Quick Start

Claude Code Plugin (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add permanu/superskill
/plugin install superskill

Any MCP-compatible tool

npm install -g superskill

Then add as an MCP server:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add superskill -e VAULT_PATH=~/Vaults/ai -- npx -y superskill

# Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI — add to MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superskill": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "superskill"],
      "env": { "VAULT_PATH": "~/Vaults/ai" }
    }
  }
}

Works with skills.sh

Install skills from the ecosystem, SuperSkill routes to them automatically:

npx skills add anthropics/skills          # Anthropic's official skills
npx skills add affaan-m/everything-claude-code  # ECC skill suite
# SuperSkill discovers and scores these on next activation
