Getting Started

Install equip and manage your first skill in under a minute.

Install equip

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

$ brew install bradleydwyer/tap/equip

Binary download

Grab the latest release for your platform from GitHub Releases. Extract the binary and add it to your PATH.

Build from source

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/bradleydwyer/equip

Requires a Rust toolchain.

Verify installation

$ equip --version
equip 0.5.0

Install your first skill

Skills are installed from GitHub repos, git URLs, or local paths. The simplest form is owner/repo:

$ equip install anthropics/skill-creator
 Installed skill-creator to 3 agents
  → claude-code, cursor, windsurf

equip auto-detects which agents are installed on your machine and distributes the skill to all of them. No configuration needed.

Tip

Use equip search "query" to discover skills from the registry of 180,000+ indexed skills.

List installed skills

$ equip list
  skill-creator       3 agents  ✓ up to date
  frontend-design     3 agents  ✓ up to date

Add --long for full descriptions, or --json for machine-readable output.

Update skills

Pull the latest version of all installed skills from their sources:

$ equip update
 Updated skill-creator (1 file changed)
  ✓ frontend-design is up to date

Or update a specific skill by name:

$ equip update skill-creator

Project-local skills

By default, skills install globally (available everywhere). Use --local to install into the current project only:

$ equip install ./my-skill --local
 Installed my-skill to 3 agents (project-local)

Project-local skills live in directories like .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, etc. within your project root. See Scopes for details.

Remove a skill

$ equip remove skill-creator
 Removed skill-creator from 3 agents
