Getting Started Guide
What is a Skill?
A skill is a set of instructions, packaged as a simple folder, that teaches an AI agent how to handle specific tasks or workflows. Skills are one of the most powerful ways to customize your AI agent for your specific needs. Instead of re-explaining your preferences, processes, and domain expertise in every conversation, skills let you teach your agent once and benefit every time.
Skills IL is a secure directory of AI agent skills built for the Israeli community. Skills are tailored for working with Hebrew, Israeli regulations, and local government services, and work across multiple AI agents: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex, OpenClaw, and Antigravity.
Installation
Step 1: Choose a Skill
Browse the skill directory and find a skill that fits your needs.
Step 2: Install
Every skill comes with install commands tailored to each agent. On the skill page, select your agent and copy the install command. For example:
Claude Code:
npx skills-il add skills-il/developer-tools --skill your-skillCursor:
cursor install skills-il/developer-tools --skill your-skillOpenClaw:
openclaw skills add https://github.com/skills-il/developer-tools/tree/main/your-skillEvery supported agent (GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity) displays its own install command on the skill page.
Step 3: Configure
After installation, follow the skill-specific setup instructions. Most skills require:
- Setting environment variables
- Configuring your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Antigravity, etc.)
- Testing the connection
