Installation

claude skill add AgentPowers-AI/agentpowers-skill
No Node.js, Python, or other dependencies required. The skill uses only curl and bash.

​
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: 
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 Plugin

If you want the full experience, install the plugin: 
claude plugin add AgentPowers-AI/agentpowers-plugin
The plugin includes everything the skill does plus proactive marketplace suggestions, a guided /ap flow, and session hooks that keep your marketplace context fresh.
