## Skill commands

### add

Install a skill into your editor's native rules location. Detects Claude Code, Cursor,
Windsurf, Antigravity, and VS Code (GitHub Copilot).

```bash theme={null}
skillmd add <skill>
```

### list

Show the skills currently installed in this project.

```bash theme={null}
skillmd list
```

### sync

Reconcile the project's installed skills with their sources — useful after pulling
changes or refreshing skills.

```bash theme={null}
skillmd sync
```

### watch

Keep skills current automatically while you work.

```bash theme={null}
skillmd watch
```

## Project commands

### init

Scaffold a new themed project from a public skill — a fast way to start from a design or
library skill someone has already published.

```bash theme={null}
skillmd init
```

<Tip>
  Browse [Discover](/docs/guides/discover) first to find a skill worth scaffolding from.
