Installation

From Source

git clone https://github.com/smallnest/goskills.git
cd goskills
make

Using Homebrew

brew install smallnest/goskills/goskills

Or:

# add tap
brew tap smallnest/goskills

# install goskills
brew install goskills

Quick Start

# Set your OpenAI API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"

# Optional: Use DeepSeek API (recommended for better performance)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export OPENAI_MODEL="deepseek-chat"
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.deepseek.com/v1"

# Start the Web Interface
./agent-web

# List available skills
./goskills-cli list ./skills

# Run a skill using the runner
./goskills run "create a react component for a todo app"


# Run a skill using the the specified skill
 goskills run "calculate sin(radians(30))" --skill calculator-skill

Built-in Tools

GoSkills includes a comprehensive set of built-in tools for skill execution:

• Shell Tools: Execute shell commands and scripts
• Python Tools: Run Python code and scripts
• File Tools: Read, write, and manage files
• Web Tools: Fetch and process web content
• Search Tools: Wikipedia and Tavily search integration
• MCP Tools: Integration with Model Context Protocol servers

CLI Tools

GoSkills provides a suite of tools for different purposes:

1. Web Interface (agent-web)

A modern web-based interface for interacting with GoSkills agents.

• Chat: Real-time conversation with agents.
• Artifacts: View generated Reports, PPTs, and Podcasts directly in the browser.
• History: Replay and review past sessions.
• Localization: Toggle between English and Chinese interfaces.

2. Skill Management CLI (goskills-cli)

Located in cmd/goskills-cli, this tool helps you inspect and manage your local Claude skills.

Building goskills-cli

make cli
# or
go build -o goskills-cli ./cmd/goskills-cli

Available Commands

• list: Lists all valid skills in a given directory.
• parse: Parses a single skill and displays a summary of its structure.
• detail: Displays the full, detailed information for a single skill.
• files: Lists all the files that make up a skill package.
• search: Searches for skills by name or description.

3. Skill Runner CLI (goskills)

Located in cmd/goskills, this tool simulates the Claude skill-use workflow by integrating with Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's models.

Building goskills runner

make runner
# or
go build -o goskills ./cmd/goskills

Available Commands

download

Downloads a skill package from a GitHub directory URL to ~/.goskills/skills.

# Download a skill from GitHub
./goskills download https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/tree/master/meeting-insights-analyzer

# Download a skill with subdirectories
./goskills download https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/tree/master/artifacts-builder

The download command will:

• Automatically create the ~/.goskills/skills directory if it doesn't exist
• Recursively download all files and subdirectories
• Extract the skill name from the URL and use it as the target directory name
• Prevent duplicate downloads with error messages

run

Processes a user request by first discovering available skills, then asking an LLM to select the most appropriate one, and finally executing the selected skill.

Requires the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to be set.

# Example with default OpenAI model (gpt-4o)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"
./goskills run "create an algorithm that generates abstract art"

# Example with a custom OpenAI-compatible model and API base URL using environment variables
export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://qianfan.baidubce.com/v2"
export OPENAI_MODEL="deepseek-v3"
./goskills run "create an algorithm that generates abstract art"

# Example with a custom OpenAI-compatible model and API base URL using command-line flags
export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"
./goskills run --model deepseek-v3 --api-base https://qianfan.baidubce.com/v2 "create an algorithm that generates abstract art"

# Example with a custom OpenAI-compatible model and API base URL using command-line flags, auto-approve without human-in-the-loop
./goskills run --auto-approve --model deepseek-v3 --api-base https://qianfan.baidubce.com/v2 "使用markitdown 工具解析网页 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AD%94%E5%AD%90/1584"

# Example with a custom OpenAI-compatible model and API base URL using command-line flags, in a loop mode and not exit automatically
./goskills run --auto-approve --model deepseek-v3 --api-base https://qianfan.baidubce.com/v2 --skills-dir=~/.goskills/skills "使用markitdown 工具解析网 页 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AD%94%E5%AD%90/1584" -l
