An open-source CLI tool called "autoskills" has been released. Running npx autoskills automatically detects a project's tech stack and installs AI coding "skills" from an audited registry. It was created by the developer midudev and is published on GitHub.

v0.3.6 · autoskills · open-source CLI

One command that reads your stack and installs the right AI coding skills

Run npx autoskills from a project root: it scans your config files, detects the technologies in use, and installs vetted "AI agent skills" from an audited registry — security-first, with hash verification and a lockfile.

How it works

Detect → match → verify → lock, all in one command

1 · Scan

Reads package.json, Gradle & config files

→

2 · Match

Selects the most relevant skills from the audited registry

→

3 · Verify

Checks files with SHA-256 hashes

→

4 · Lock

Writes skills-lock.json for reproducibility

Security-first by design

Nothing installs from arbitrary upstreams — only skills maintainers have synced and vetted into the registry, scanned for prompt injection and supply-chain risks.
