Installation

Clone the skill into your Claude Code skills directory: 
git clone https://github.com/AgentPowers-AI/agentpowers-skill ~/.claude/skills/agentpowers
No Node.js, Python, or other dependencies required. The skill uses only curl and bash.
Direct skill installation via claude skill add is coming soon. For now, clone the repo into ~/.claude/skills/.

​
What It Does

The skill teaches Claude how to interact with the AgentPowers marketplace directly. Once installed, Claude can:
  • Search the marketplace for skills and agents
  • View details for any skill including price, security status, and description
  • Install free skills by downloading and extracting packages
  • Purchase paid skills by opening Stripe Checkout (requires authentication)

​
Using the Skill

After installing, try asking Claude: 
Find me a code review skill

Search the AgentPowers marketplace for security tools

Install the skill called my-awesome-skill
Claude will use curl to call the AgentPowers API and present results in a clean format.

​
Authentication

The skill works without authentication for:
  • Searching the marketplace
  • Viewing skill details
  • Installing free skills
For paid skills, you need to authenticate first: 
npx @agentpowers/cli login
Or via the Python CLI: 
pip install agentpowers
ap login
The skill automatically detects the auth token at ~/.agentpowers/auth.json.

​
Limitations vs Plugin

The standalone skill is lightweight but has fewer features than the full plugin:

​
Upgrading to the MCP Server

If you want the full experience with 26 marketplace tools, add the MCP server: 
claude mcp add agentpowers -- npx -y @agentpowers/mcp-server
The MCP server includes everything the skill does plus categories, reviews, security scans, seller profiles, account management, purchase workflows, and multi-platform install support.
