tooluniverse-install-skills

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the detection and installation of missing ToolUniverse specialized skills across developer and agent client directories, removing manual cloning and placement steps that can block research workflows or routing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Canary detection: scans common client locations for SKILL.md canary files to determine whether ToolUniverse sub-skills are present.
• Automated installation: clones ToolUniverse from GitHub using a shallow, sparse checkout of the skills folder and copies the necessary skill directories into the detected client path.
• Client-aware placement: detects the client environment (Cursor, Codex/OpenAI, Windsurf, Gemini, Claude, OpenCode, Trae, etc.) and places skills into the appropriate directory, prompting the user if the client cannot be auto-detected.
• Use Case: bootstrap a fresh developer workstation, CI environment, or agent runtime so the tooluniverse router can route requests to specialized research skills without manual setup.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to detect missing ToolUniverse skills and install them into the current client environment.
