Skills - Magnitude

Skills are reusable capabilities for your agent. A good way to get them is skills.sh, a skills directory from Vercel.

Install skills

Run npx skills add from the directory where you use Magnitude. Install a skill for the current project to use it there, or choose a global installation to use it everywhere. Skills we recommend:

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-browser   # drive your logged-in Chrome browser
npx skills add anthropics/skills/xlsx      # read and build Excel spreadsheets
npx skills add anthropics/skills/pptx      # build PowerPoint decks
npx skills add anthropics/skills/docx      # read and write Word documents
npx skills add anthropics/skills/pdf       # read, fill, and create PDFs

Use skills

Installed skills appear in Magnitude’s slash-command menu. Type / to browse them, or ask Magnitude to perform a task that matches a skill’s description. Magnitude loads the skill’s instructions when it uses the skill. Start a new session after installing a skill if it does not appear in the current one.

Skill locations

Magnitude loads global skills from:

~/.claude/skills
~/.agents/skills
~/.magnitude/skills

It also loads skills from the corresponding .claude/skills, .agents/skills, and .magnitude/skills directories inside the current working directory. Skills in the current working directory take priority over global skills with the same name.

Review skills before installing

Skills can tell Magnitude to run commands, install dependencies, open websites, or interact with external services. Review a skill’s source and instructions before installing it, especially when working with sensitive files or logged-in browser sessions.
