An agentic skills framework & software development methodology that works.
Agent skills and Cursor rules pack
Agent Resources packages repeatable workflows as `SKILL.md` files and persistent Cursor context as `.mdc` rules. You install the whole pack or copy a single skill into your own setup, then use it for tasks like orienting to a codebase, shipping a branch, reviewing a PR, or writing release notes.
Builders who use Cursor, Claude Code, or another agent and want reusable skills and rules they can drop into their workflow.
You can reuse proven agent workflows instead of rewriting instructions for every new task.
What it does
Installable skills
`SKILL.md` files define repeatable workflows such as orienting to a codebase, shipping a branch, reviewing a PR, and writing release notes.
Cursor rules
`.mdc` rules hold persistent context for Cursor sessions and are organized under `rules/`.
Claude Code plugin packaging
`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` packages the repo for Claude Code marketplace install.
Skill categories
Skills are grouped by use case in `skills/design/`, `skills/engineering/`, `skills/publishing/`, `skills/productivity/`, and `skills/thinking/`.
Single-skill install path
You can install one skill with `npx skills@latest add jcottam/agent-resources/skills/engineering/ship` or copy `SKILL.md` into your local skills folder.
