Installing Skills

Skills are Markdown files hosted in Git repositories that extend the capabilities of AI coding agents. Luca clones skill repositories and symlinks the skill files into each agent's designated directory.

Install All Skills from a Repository

luca install AvdLee/Swift-Testing-Agent-Skill

Luca clones the repository, discovers all skills inside it, and symlinks them into every supported agent's skill directory in your project.

Install Specific Skills

Use --skill to install only named skills from a repository:

luca install vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill web-design-guidelines --skill deploy-to-vercel

Target Specific Agents

Use --agent to install skills only for specific agents:

luca install AvdLee/Swift-Testing-Agent-Skill --agent claude-code --agent cursor

Run luca agents to see all valid agent identifiers.

Using npx (Vercel Labs Pipeline)

If you prefer to use Vercel Labs' native skill installer instead of Luca's built-in pipeline, pass --use-npx (requires Node.js and npx):

luca install vercel-labs/agent-skills --use-npx

Listing Installed Skills

luca installed --skills

Uninstalling Skills

luca uninstall swift-testing-expert

Uninstall a globally installed skill:

luca uninstall swift-testing-expert --global
