How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • Some skills open a browser, run local apps and call MCP tools
  • The rewind skill reads local screen memory through a separate app

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

A collection of independent skills, each in its own folder with a SKILL.md file. Some cover work discipline: checking authoritative docs before guessing, pushing through ordinary ambiguity, auditing another agent's work, choosing between competing plans, tracking usage limits and giving a short closing status. Others rely on Agent-Native services: turning a text plan into a visual plan with diagrams and a file map, turning a branch or PR diff into an interactive recap, visually editing a running local app, recovering recent on-screen context through the local Rewind memory, and packaging a thread or a skill into a runnable app. It installs through an npx installer, as a Claude Code or Cowork plugin marketplace, or by copying skill folders into the shared .agents path for Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot and others.

Who it is for. For developers who work with terminal agents daily and want to set shared work habits plus readable review of plans and changes.

Good fit when

  • You need to turn a plan or a diff review into a readable document for review
  • You need the agent to check docs and keep a clear work status
  • You need one agent to audit another's work or compare competing plans

Not a fit when

  • You need one narrow domain skill rather than a set of work habits
  • You are not ready to use the hosted Agent-Native services where a skill depends on them

Example request

Make a visual plan of this task with diagrams and a file map so I can approve it before code changes

Limitations

The discipline skills run locally as instructions only, but visual plans and recaps, the an skill and webmcp rely on Agent-Native services and Dispatch MCP; shareable links need their hosting, otherwise a local-files mode is used. The rewind skill requires macOS and the separate Clips Desktop app with a local screen-memory connection; the installer does not install it and never enables capture without permission. Several skills open a browser, run local apps and read on-screen context.

How to disable. Remove the installed skill folders from the agent's skills directory or from the shared .agents path. If installed as a Claude Code or Cowork plugin, remove it via /plugin and optionally drop the builder-skills marketplace.

FAQ

Do I have to install every skill?

No. The installer shows the catalog with recommended skills preselected; the rest are optional, and you can install a single one with the --skill flag.

Which agents does it work with?

Claude Code skills go into its directory, and through the shared .agents path they are picked up by Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot and VS Code. There is also a plugin install for Claude Code and Cowork.

README in short

The README describes a set of small composable skills for agents and recommends installing them with the npx @agent-native/skills@latest add installer with a picker. The skills split into two groups: work discipline (docs-first checks, pushing through ambiguity, auditing another agent, choosing a plan, tracking limits, a short status) and visual and applied skills tied to Agent-Native (visual-plan, visual-recap, visual-edit, an, webmcp, rewind, turn-into-app). The repository is also a plugin marketplace for Claude Code and Cowork, with plugins for Claude and Codex and a shared .agents path for other agents. It notes that rewind needs Clips Desktop on macOS, which the installer does not install and which never captures without permission. MIT licensed.

# Agent-Native Apps

Use `/an <app>` to open an Agent-Native app beside the conversation and keep
the app's live UI and the agent's actions in the same workflow. The first
argument is the Dispatch app id. For example, `/an slides` opens the Slides
editor. After it opens, the user can sign in in that browser surface and ask
for new decks or focused edits in ordinary language.

## Open the app

For a known app, call Dispatch's `open_app` with an inline surface:
