Skills

A skill is a short instruction file in the open SKILL.md format that teaches an AI assistant how to do one thing well. Kubb ships skills so assistants write correct configuration instead of guessing at an API that changed between major versions.

IMPORTANT

The skills ship in the Kubb Claude Code plugin and target Kubb v5 or higher.

Install

The fastest way to install the Kubb skills is the skills CLI. Run it from your project root and it auto-detects your installed agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf and Cline:

npx skills add kubb-labs/kubb

Pick a specific skill instead of the full set with the --skill flag:

npx skills add kubb-labs/kubb --skill config

Pass -g to install user-wide instead of per-project, and -y to skip the interactive picker:

npx skills add kubb-labs/kubb -g -y

Claude Code users can also install the skills through the plugin marketplace, which adds the slash commands and agent at the same time:

/plugin marketplace add kubb-labs/kubb
/plugin install kubb@kubb

See the Claude Code plugin page for what the plugin adds on top of the skills.

config

The config skill covers how to author a kubb.config.ts and pick the right @kubb/plugin-* packages for the output you want. It encodes the rules that trip up models trained on older releases, such as dropping pluginOas() now that the OpenAPI adapter is applied automatically.

It teaches an assistant to:

• write a kubb.config.ts with input, output and a plugins array
• map a request such as "typed React Query hooks" or "Zod schemas" to the matching plugin package
• run the kubb CLI to validate a spec, scaffold a config, and generate

Where skills run

The skills ship inside the Kubb Claude Code plugin. Because they are plain SKILL.md files, any assistant that reads that format can use the same content.
