🤔 What Are "Skills"?
Think of skills as specialized instruction manuals for AI coding assistants.
Simple analogy: Just like you might hire different experts (a designer, a security expert, a marketer), these skills let your AI assistant become an expert in specific areas when you need them.
📦 What's Inside This Repository?
This repo contains 179 ready-to-use skills organized in the skills/ folder. Each skill is a folder with at least one file: SKILL.md

🎯 How Do Skills Work?
Step 1: Install Skills
Copy the skills to your AI tool's directory:
# For most AI tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.)
git clone https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git .agent/skills
Step 2: Use a Skill
In your AI chat, mention the skill:
@brainstorming help me design a todo app
or
/stripe-integration add payment processing to my app
Step 3: The AI Becomes an Expert
The AI loads that skill's knowledge and helps you with specialized expertise!

Let's try the brainstorming skill:
-
Open your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
-
Type this:
@brainstorming I want to build a simple weather app -
What happens:
- The AI loads the brainstorming skill
- It asks you questions one at a time
- It helps you design the app before coding
- It creates a design document for you
-
Result: You get a well-thought-out plan instead of jumping straight to code!
