ctx7 skills info /anthropics/skillsOutput shows each skill name, description, and URL, plus quick install commands.
All skills commands accept these flags to target a specific AI coding assistant:
| Flag | Directory | Used by |
|---|---|---|
--universal | .agents/skills/ | Amp, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot |
--claude | .claude/skills/ | Claude Code |
--cursor | .cursor/skills/ | Cursor |
--antigravity | .agent/skills/ | Antigravity |
Without a flag, the CLI prompts you to select one or more targets interactively.
Add --global to any flag to install in your home directory instead of the current project.
