Install Docs Search

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill docs-search

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads docs-search when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the docs-search skill”. In Codex, type $docs-search.
