# Itqan Agent Toolkit

> Portable Agent Skills, MCP servers and Claude Code plugins for AI coding agents.
> One SKILL.md folder runs unchanged in every tool that implements the Agent Skills
> open standard. Free, MIT licensed, no account and no telemetry.
> Made by Itqan Lab (https://itqanlab.com), a design and technology studio.

## What this is

- An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file: YAML frontmatter with a name and
  description, Markdown instructions, and optional scripts/, references/ and assets/ directories.
- Agents load the name and description at startup and the full instructions only when a task
  matches, so many skills cost almost no context until used.
- The format is the Agent Skills specification, an open standard stewarded by the Agentic AI
  Foundation: https://agentskills.io/specification

## Pages

- [Overview](https://agent-toolkit.itqanlab.com/): What agent skills are, the catalog, and how to install.
- [Browse](https://agent-toolkit.itqanlab.com/browse/): All 1 skills, MCP servers and plugins, searchable.
- [Agents](https://agent-toolkit.itqanlab.com/agents/): Verified skill discovery paths per agent, with vendor sources.
- [watch-video](https://agent-toolkit.itqanlab.com/s/watch-video/): Watch / analyze a video or audio source the agent cannot natively play — a URL from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitch, LinkedIn or 1750+ other sites, or a local file. Downloads it, pulls captions (or transcribes locally when there are none), and extracts frames so the agent can Read the transcript + frames and describe pacing, hooks, on-screen text, format, or answer questions about the content. No API key needed.

## Install

- Any conformant agent: clone https://github.com/itqanlab/agent-toolkit and run ./scripts/install.sh
  This writes to ~/.agents/skills/, the vendor-neutral path.
- Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add itqanlab/agent-toolkit
  then /plugin install <skill>@itqan

## Key facts

- Verified on 2026-08-11: of 8 agents whose vendor documentation
  was read directly, 7 read ~/.agents/skills/.
- Claude Code is the exception. It reads ~/.claude/skills/, .claude/skills/ and installed plugins
  only, so it installs from a plugin marketplace instead.
- A further 40+ tools implement the same standard, including
  pi, Junie, Kiro, Roo Code, Factory, OpenHands.
- Skills stay portable by referencing bundled files with paths relative to the skill root and by
  keeping vendor-specific syntax out of the instruction body.
- Everything is MIT licensed and free for commercial use.
