# ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
|
||
|
||
**Got questions?** You're not alone! Here are answers to the most common questions about Antigravity Awesome Skills.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🎯 General Questions
|
||
|
||
### What are "skills" exactly?
|
||
|
||
Skills are specialized instruction files that teach AI assistants how to handle specific tasks. Think of them as expert knowledge modules that your AI can load on-demand.
|
||
**Simple analogy:** Just like you might consult different experts (a lawyer, a doctor, a mechanic), these skills let your AI become an expert in different areas when you need them.
|
||
|
||
### Do I need to install all 1,204+ skills?
|
||
|
||
**No!** When you clone the repository, all skills are available, but your AI only loads them when you explicitly invoke them with `@skill-name`.
|
||
It's like having a library - all books are there, but you only read the ones you need.
|
||
**Pro Tip:** Use [Starter Packs](bundles.md) to install only what matches your role.
|
||
|
||
### What is the difference between Bundles and Workflows?
|
||
|
||
- **Bundles** are curated recommendations grouped by role or domain.
|
||
- **Workflows** are ordered execution playbooks for concrete outcomes.
|
||
|
||
Use bundles when you are deciding _which skills_ to include. Use workflows when you need _step-by-step execution_.
|
||
|
||
Start from:
|
||
|
||
- [bundles.md](bundles.md)
|
||
- [workflows.md](workflows.md)
|
||
|
||
### Which AI tools work with these skills?
|
||
|
||
- ✅ **Claude Code** (Anthropic CLI)
|
||
- ✅ **Gemini CLI** (Google)
|
||
- ✅ **Codex CLI** (OpenAI)
|
||
- ✅ **Cursor** (AI IDE)
|
||
- ✅ **Antigravity IDE**
|
||
- ✅ **OpenCode**
|
||
- ⚠️ **GitHub Copilot** (partial support via copy-paste)
|
||
|
||
### Are these skills free to use?
|
||
|
||
**Yes!** This repository is licensed under MIT License.
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Free for personal use
|
||
- ✅ Free for commercial use
|
||
- ✅ You can modify them
|
||
|
||
### How do these skills avoid overflowing the model context?
|
||
|
||
Some host tools (for example custom agents built on Jetski/Cortex + Gemini) might be tempted to **concatenate every `SKILL.md` file into a single system prompt**.
|
||
This is **not** how this repository is designed to be used, and it will almost certainly overflow the model’s context window with 1,200+ skills.
|
||
|
||
Instead, hosts should:
|
||
|
||
- use `data/skills_index.json` as a **lightweight manifest** for discovery; and
|
||
- load individual `SKILL.md` files **only when a skill is invoked** (e.g. via `@skill-id` in the conversation).
|
||
|
||
For a concrete example (including pseudo‑code) see:
|
||
|
||
- [`docs/integrations/jetski-cortex.md`](../integrations/jetski-cortex.md)
|
||
|
||
### Do skills work offline?
|
||
|
||
The skill files themselves are stored locally on your computer, but your AI assistant needs an internet connection to function.
|
||

## 🔒 Security & Trust (V4 Update)
|
||
|
||
### What do the Risk Labels mean?
|
||
|
||
We classify skills so you know what you're running:
|
||
|
||
- ⚪ **Safe (White/Blue)**: Read-only, planning, or benign skills.
|
||
- 🔴 **Risk (Red)**: Skills that modify files (delete), use network scanners, or perform destructive actions. **Use with caution.**
|
||
- 🟣 **Official (Purple)**: Maintained by trusted vendors (Anthropic, DeepMind, etc.).
|
||
|
||
### Can these skills hack my computer?
|
||
|
||
**No.** Skills are text files. However, they _instruct_ the AI to run commands. If a skill says "delete all files", a compliant AI might try to do it.
|
||
_Always check the Risk label and review the code._

## 📦 Installation & Setup
|
||
|
||
### Where should I install the skills?
|
||
|
||
The universal path that works with most tools is `.agent/skills/`.
|
||
|
||
**Using npx:** `npx antigravity-awesome-skills` (or `npx github:sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` if you get a 404).
|
||
|
||
**Using git clone:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git .agent/skills
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Tool-specific paths:**
|
||
|
||
- Claude Code: `.claude/skills/`
|
||
- Gemini CLI: `.gemini/skills/`
|
||
- Codex CLI: `.codex/skills/`
|
||
- Cursor: `.cursor/skills/` or project root
|
||
|
||
### Does this work with Windows?
|
||
|
||
**Yes**, but some "Official" skills use **symlinks** which Windows handles poorly by default.
|
||
Run git with:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone -c core.symlinks=true https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git .agent/skills
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or enable "Developer Mode" in Windows Settings.
|
||
|
||
### I hit a truncation or context crash loop on Windows. How do I recover?
|
||
|
||
If Antigravity or a Jetski/Cortex-based host keeps reopening into:
|
||
|
||
> `TrajectoryChatConverter: could not convert a single message before hitting truncation`
|
||
|
||
use the dedicated Windows recovery guide:
|
||
|
||
- [`windows-truncation-recovery.md`](windows-truncation-recovery.md)
|
||
|
||
It includes:
|
||
|
||
- the manual cleanup steps for broken Local Storage / Session Storage / IndexedDB state
|
||
- the default Antigravity Windows paths to back up first
|
||
- an optional batch script adapted from [issue #274](https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/issues/274)
|
||
|
||
### How do I update skills?
|
||
|
||
Navigate to your skills directory and pull the latest changes:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd .agent/skills
|
||
git pull origin main
|
||
```
|
||

## 🛠️ Using Skills
|
||
|
||
> **💡 For a complete guide with examples, see [usage.md](usage.md)**
|
||
|
||
### How do I invoke a skill?
|
||
|
||
Use the `@` symbol followed by the skill name:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
@brainstorming help me design a todo app
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Can I use multiple skills at once?
|
||
|
||
**Yes!** You can invoke multiple skills:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
@brainstorming help me design this, then use @writing-plans to create a task list.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### How do I know which skill to use?
|
||
|
||
1. **Browse the catalog**: Check the [Skill Catalog](../../CATALOG.md).
|
||
2. **Search**: `ls skills/ | grep "keyword"`
|
||
3. **Ask your AI**: "What skills do you have for testing?"

||
## 🏗️ Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### My AI assistant doesn't recognize skills
|
||
|
||
**Possible causes:**
|
||
|
||
1. **Wrong installation path**: Check your tool's docs. Try `.agent/skills/`.
|
||
2. **Restart Needed**: Restart your AI/IDE after installing.
|
||
3. **Typos**: Did you type `@brain-storming` instead of `@brainstorming`?
|
||
|
||
### A skill gives incorrect or outdated advice
|
||
|
||
Please [Open an issue](https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/issues)!
|
||
Include:
|
||
|
||
- Which skill

## 🤝 Contribution
|
||
|
||
### I'm new to open source. Can I contribute?
|
||
|
||
**Absolutely!** We welcome beginners.
|
||
|
||
- Fix typos
|
||
- Add examples
|
||
- Improve docs
|
||
Check out [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions.
|
||
|
||
### My PR failed "Quality Bar" check. Why?
|
||
|
||
V4 introduces automated quality control. Your skill might be missing:
|
||
|
||
1. A valid `description`.
|
||
2. Usage examples.
|
||
Run `npm run validate` locally to check before you push.
|
||
|
||
### Can I update an "Official" skill?
|
||
|
||
**No.** Official skills (in `skills/official/`) are mirrored from vendors. Open an issue instead.
