Claude Code

Skills documentation

Plugin marketplace (auto-updates, no git needed):

text
/plugin marketplace add brave/brave-search-skills
/plugin install brave-search-skills@brave-search

curl (no git, no marketplace):

bash
# User-level (available in all projects)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C ~/.claude/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

# Project-level
mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C .claude/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

Manual (git clone + cp):

bash
git clone https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/   # user-level
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* .claude/skills/      # project-level

Cursor

Skills documentation

Remote Rule (no terminal needed):

Settings → Rules → Project Rules → Add Rule → Remote Rule → paste https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills

curl:

bash
# Project-level
mkdir -p .cursor/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C .cursor/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

# User-level
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C ~/.cursor/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

Manual (cp — requires git clone above):

bash
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* .cursor/skills/      # project-level
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/     # user-level

Cursor natively reads skills from .cursor/skills/, .claude/skills/, and .codex/skills/ at both project and user level.

GitHub Copilot

curl:

bash
mkdir -p .github/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C .github/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

Manual (cp — requires git clone above):

bash
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* .github/skills/

Codex

Skills documentation

Skill installer (built-in — ask Codex to install skills from https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills).

curl:

bash
# User-level
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C ~/.agents/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

# Project-level
mkdir -p .agents/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C .agents/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

bash
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* ~/.agents/skills/    # user-level
cp -r brave-search-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/       # project-level

Codex reads from .agents/skills/ at repo, parent, root, and user levels. Skills work across the CLI, desktop app, and IDE extension.

Windsurf

bash
# Project-level
mkdir -p .windsurf/skills && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C .windsurf/skills --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

# User-level

bash
mkdir -p <skills-dir> && curl -sL https://github.com/brave/brave-search-skills/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz -C <skills-dir> --strip-components=2 brave-search-skills-main/skills

Or copy skills from a git clone to the agent's skills directory. All agents following the Agent Skills standard read SKILL.md files from their skills folder.

bash
npx openskills install brave/brave-search-skills
