What Are AI Agent Templates?

AI agent templates are structured Markdown files that give AI coding assistants a specialized role. Each template defines a complete persona — expertise, decision-making frameworks, behavioral patterns, and communication style. When loaded into Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, the AI assistant adopts that role and operates with domain-specific judgment.

Examples include:

• Code Reviewer — catches bugs, security issues, and style violations with actionable feedback
• Product Manager — writes PRDs, prioritizes features, and defines acceptance criteria
• Data Scientist — analyzes datasets, builds models, and explains statistical results
• Security Engineer — audits code for vulnerabilities and recommends mitigations
• Technical Writer — creates documentation, API references, and developer guides

What Are AI Skill Definitions?

Skill definitions are composable, task-focused prompt templates for specific workflows. Unlike agents (which define who the AI becomes), skills define what the AI does — step-by-step instructions for a concrete task. Skills can include templates, checklists, scripts, and reference material.

Examples include:

• PRD Writing — product requirements with user stories and acceptance criteria
• Code Review Checklist — structured review covering security, performance, and readability
• Incident Postmortem — post-incident review with timeline, root cause, and action items
• Architecture Decision Record — document decisions with context, options, and consequences
• System Design Document — architecture documentation with trade-offs and diagrams

How to Install

Claude Code Skills

Install any skill directly into your project:

npx skills add code-review-checklist

Or install manually — copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ in your project:

cp -r skills/code-review-checklist .claude/skills/

Claude Code Agents

Copy the agent file into your project as a system prompt or CLAUDE.md context:

cp agents/code-reviewer.md .claude/agents/code-reviewer.md

Cursor & Windsurf

Agent and skill files are standard Markdown. Copy them into your project's AI configuration directory — .cursor/ for Cursor, .windsurf/ for Windsurf, or wherever your tool reads system prompts.

Specification

All content follows the Agent Skills specification — the open standard adopted by Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 25+ other AI tools.

Contributing

We welcome contributions from anyone. Whether you are adding a new agent, creating a skill, or improving an existing entry — your expertise makes this directory better for everyone.

Quick start:

1. Fork this repo
2. Read the authoring guide for your content type:

• Agents: [agents/CLAUDE.md](agents/CLAUDE.md)
• Skills: [skills/CLAUDE.md](skills/CLAUDE.md)

1. Create your content following the spec
2. Open a pull request — CI will validate your submission automatically

See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full guide, frontmatter spec, and quality bar.

Good First Contributions

New to open source or to this project? Look for issues labeled [good first issue](../../labels/good%20first%20issue) — they include clear instructions and pointers to similar existing entries.

How Validation Works

Every pull request is automatically checked by CI:

• Frontmatter schema — Required fields present, correct types, valid categories
• File structure — Filename/folder matches name field, skill folders contain SKILL.md
• Cross-references — worksWellWith* slugs point to entries that exist
• Markdown lint — Basic formatting consistency

If a check fails, click the details link to see exactly what needs to be fixed. No local setup required.
