The skills directory is a catalog of ready-made skills you can install and use right away — built by Replit and by our partners. Install one, try it, then edit it to fit how your team actually works. For what a skill is and how Agent loads it, see Agent Skills. To make a skill available across your whole workspace, see Agent Customization.

Install a skill

You can add a skill from the directory in a few ways:
  • In chat — click the + button next to the chat input, select Use a skill, and choose one. The skill applies to that message only, with nothing installed in your project.
  • In a project — open the Skills pane in the Project Editor, select the Discover tab, find a skill, and click Install. Installed skills live in your project’s /.agents/skills directory and persist across chats.
  • From the command line — install a skill with the skills CLI:
Skills in the Replit skill picker are audited for safety. Skills installed from external sources are not. Because a skill is instructions Agent follows, always review an external skill before installing it — see Agent skills for what to check.

Replit skills

Replit ships with pre-defined skills available from the Use a skill picker in chat and from the new-project starting-point picker. These work in every project without installation. Descriptions appear inline when you open the picker.
Inside a workspace, the picker also discovers any additional skills installed in the project’s .local/secondary_skills/ directory.

Partner skills

Replit’s partners publish skills that teach Agent how to build with their products. Install one to give Agent the patterns and conventions for that service.

Community skills

Beyond Replit and partner skills, the community publishes skills you can install. Browse them at skills.sh, and read the Agent Skills specification to write your own.
