With [`skills`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills) (any compatible agent):** ```bash npx skills add DenisSergeevitch/agents-best-practices -g ``` The `-g` flag installs globally at user level so every project can discover it. **B. Or paste this prompt to your AI agent:** ```text Install the agents-best-practices skill for me: 1. Clone https://github.com/DenisSergeevitch/agents-best-practices into my user-level skills directory as `agents-best-practices/`. Use the skill directory my agent reads on this machine, for example: - Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ - Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/ 2. Verify that SKILL.md, icon.jpeg, and the references/ directory are present. 3. Confirm the install path when done. ``` **C. Manual install paths:** ```bash # Codex mkdir -p "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills" git
