Installation

Method 1: Install via skills CLI (Recommended)

The easiest way to install skills using the skills package. Supports Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and 20+ other agents.

# Install all skills
npx skills add bmad-labs/skills

# Install specific skills for TypeScript development
npx skills add bmad-labs/skills --skill typescript-clean-code --skill typescript-e2e-testing --skill typescript-unit-testing

# Install to specific agent (e.g., claude-code, cursor, codex)
npx skills add bmad-labs/skills -a claude-code

# Install globally (user-level, available in all projects)
npx skills add bmad-labs/skills -g

Method 2: Install via Plugin Marketplace

This method installs the entire plugin with all skills automatically detected.

Step 1: Add the marketplace

/plugin marketplace add bmad-labs/skills

Step 2: Install the plugin

/plugin install bmad-labs@skills

Step 3: Verify installation

# Open the plugin manager to see installed plugins
/plugin

# Or ask Claude: "What skills are available?"

Method 3: Install via settings.json

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "bmad-labs": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "bmad-labs/skills"
      }
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "bmad-labs@skills": true
  }
}

Method 4: Install Individual Skills

If you only need specific skills, add them individually to your project's .claude/settings.json:

  "skills": [
    "github:bmad-labs/skills/skills/clean-code",
    "github:bmad-labs/skills/skills/typescript-e2e-testing",
    "github:bmad-labs/skills/skills/typescript-unit-testing"

Check plugin structure:
```
claude plugin validate .
```
