FAQ

Skilless is a curated AI skill library. Most AI tools require missing dependencies, API keys, or complex setup just to get started. Skilless is built for regular people — one command to install, zero configuration, covering 90% of daily needs including search, web reading, video download & subtitles, and media conversion & compression.

No. You don't need to manually install anything or configure API keys. The install script automatically downloads uv (an ultra-fast Python package manager) and sets up a completely isolated virtual environment with all dependencies (yt-dlp, fastmcp, jina reader, etc.) — your system stays clean.

macOS, Windows, and Linux. Mac/Linux uses a curl command, Windows uses a native PowerShell script — no Git Bash or WSL required.

After installation, Skilless exposes four CLI commands: search, web, ytd, and media. Any tool that reads SKILL.md files from ~/.agents/skills/ will work. We recommend **OpenCode** — open source and free, works great with Skilless out of the box. Also works with OpenClaw, Kilo Code, Cursor, and Claude Code.

Run skilless.ai doctor to check your system status. For common issues, see the Troubleshooting Guide, or report issues on GitHub.
