Kasava’s skills follow the Agent Skills open standard — a portable format supported by 30+ AI coding tools. Write once, use everywhere.

​
What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are folders containing a SKILL.md file with instructions that AI agents load on demand. They encode how to do something — procedural knowledge that makes agents more effective at specific tasks. Kasava provides 6 auto-trigger skills that teach AI agents how to use product intelligence when coding:
SkillWhat it teaches
kasava-contextRead the local .kasava/ artifact (paths-scoped to bound repos)
kasava-productLoad architecture, features, and tech stack before coding
kasava-codeNavigate code via the symbol graph (definitions, usages, dependencies)
kasava-bug3-way investigation: code + commits + customer signals
kasava-planPull plan specs and resolve them to current code
kasava-signalsGround engineering decisions in customer feedback
In Claude Code specifically, the plugin bundles 8 additional user-invoked slash commands (/kasava:install, :sync, :plan, :ask, :ask-ai, :staleness, :decision, :status) and 4 subagents on top of these auto-trigger skills.

​
How Skills Work

  1. Discovery: At startup, the agent reads each skill’s name and description (~100 tokens each)
  2. Activation: When your request matches a skill’s description, the agent loads the full instructions
  3. Execution: The agent follows the instructions, optionally loading reference files for details
Skills work with or without MCP:
  • With MCP connected: The agent executes actual tool calls (symbol search, graph queries, etc.)
  • Without MCP: The agent follows the procedural guidance using local tools (grep, LSP, etc.)

Installation by Platform

​
Claude Code

Install the Kasava plugin which includes skills automatically: 
/plugin install kasava@claude-plugins-official

​
Cursor

Copy skills into your project: 
git clone https://github.com/kasava-dev/claude-code-plugin /tmp/kasava-plugin
cp -r /tmp/kasava-plugin/skills .cursor/skills/

​
GitHub Copilot / VS Code

Copy skills into your workspace: 
git clone https://github.com/kasava-dev/claude-code-plugin /tmp/kasava-plugin
cp -r /tmp/kasava-plugin/skills .github/skills/

​
OpenAI Codex

git clone https://github.com/kasava-dev/claude-code-plugin /tmp/kasava-plugin
cp -r /tmp/kasava-plugin/skills .codex/skills/

​
Gemini CLI

git clone https://github.com/kasava-dev/claude-code-plugin /tmp/kasava-plugin
cp -r /tmp/kasava-plugin/skills .gemini/skills/

​
Other Tools

Check agentskills.io for platform-specific instructions. The skills directory structure is universal — copy it to wherever your tool looks for skills.

​
Combining Skills with MCP

For the best experience, use both:
  1. Skills teach the agent how to think about using Kasava (methodology, workflows, decision frameworks)
  2. MCP gives the agent access to tools that execute the methodology (actual API calls)
Configure MCP separately for your platform — see MCP Setup.
