## Agent Skills

### Quick start

#### OpenCode

1. Copy the `./skills/.opencode/...` folders to
  - `.opencode/skills` for project specific skill setup
  - `%USERPROFILE%/.config/opencode/skills` for global setup
2. You can adjust AGENTS.md, custom subagents or custom commands to reference the skills
3. Restart your OpenCode (CLI or Desktop)
4. When asking the agent to use the "hotkeyless AHK skills" it should now use the skill guide

#### ClaudeCode

1. Copy the `./skills/.claude/...` folders to
  - `.claude/skills` for project specific skill setup
  - `%USERPROFILE%/.config/claude-code/skills` for global setup
2. You can adjust CLAUDE.md, custom subagents or custom commands to reference the skills
3. Restart your Claude Code
4. When asking the agent to use the "hotkeyless AHK skills" it should now use the skill guide

#### Github Copilot

1. Copy the `./skills/.claude/...` folders to
  - `.claude/skills` for project specific skill setup
  - `%USERPROFILE%/.config/claude-code/skills` for global setup
2. You can adjust AGENTS.md, custom subagents or custom commands to reference the skills
3. Restart your Claude Code
