Shipables Documentation

Shipables is the package registry for AI agent skills. Think of it as npm, but for teaching AI coding agents new capabilities through the Agent Skills open standard.

What is a skill?

A skill is a portable package that gives an AI coding agent knowledge and tools for a specific domain. A skill contains:

• SKILL.md — instructions and knowledge the agent reads to understand the domain
• scripts/ — executable scripts the agent can run
• references/ — supplementary documentation and examples
• MCP servers — Model Context Protocol servers that give the agent live tools (database queries, API calls, etc.)

Skills work across multiple AI agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, VS Code / Copilot, Gemini CLI, and Cline.

Quick start

Install the CLI and add a skill to your project in seconds:

# Install a skill (auto-detects your AI agent)
npx @senso-ai/shipables install Chippers255/ai-commits

# Or install for a specific agent
npx @senso-ai/shipables install Chippers255/ai-commits --claude

That's it. Your AI agent now knows how to write better commit messages.

See the Getting Started guide for a full walkthrough.
