Skillsets

The Skills Gap

Skills are the best tools for encoding specialized workflows in your coding agent. But managing them is a challenge:

Where do you start?
Most teams don't know which Skills they need or how to structure them. For a given workflow, do you need one Skill or several? What's the best way to write it? How do Skills relate to other context tools like CLAUDE.md?
Managing Skills gets messy.
You need Skills to be focused on specific tasks, but you also need them to work together coherently. They need to be easy to use locally, and easy to share. Overhead adds up quickly.
Discovery is hard.
Skills are easy to create, harder to coordinate and keep track of after the fact. How do you remember which one to use? How does someone new to your team know what's available?

What is Nori Skillsets

Nori Skillsets contains three layers that make Skills manageable:

Installer

Download and upload Skills, and organize context files (CLAUDE.md and Skills) within your project directory so Claude Code uses the right context automatically.

CLI Extensions

Command-line tools and slash commands that make it easy to create, switch, and manage Skills without leaving your workflow.

Pre-configured collections of Skills bundled together for specific workflows, coordinated with a CLAUDE.md. Switch between different Skillsets depending on your task.

Skillset Structure

Skillsets organizes your skills and context files into a single directory:

Component	Claude Code	Cursor
Skillset Location	`~/.nori/profiles/`	`~/.nori/profiles/`
Context Instructions	`CLAUDE.md`	`AGENTS.md`
Skills/Rules	Skills in `skills/` directory with `SKILL.md` files	Rules in `rules/` directory with `RULE.md` files
Subagents	Native support for specialized sub-agents	Available via Nori-Profiles only
Commands	`commands/` directory with custom slash commands	`commands/` directory with custom slash commands

Quick Start

Installation

Install Nori globally:

npm install -g nori-ai

Then install for your agent:

nori-ai install

nori-ai install --agent cursor-agent

Safe Installation: Nori safely installs into your agent's config directory (~/.claude/ for Claude Code, ~/.cursor/profiles/ for Cursor). Your existing files are preserved. Use /nori-info in Cursor to see available skillsets.

Skillset Management

Create and switch between skillsets to customize your agent's behavior:

# Create a skillset /nori-create-profile # Switch skillsets /command /nori-switch-profile my-custom-agent # Switch skillsets Bash command nori-ai switch-profile <profile-name> --agent claude-code

# Create skillsets Add directories to ~/.cursor/profiles/ with AGENTS.md and rules # Switch skillsets nori-ai switch-profile <profile-name> --agent cursor-agent

Exit and re-enter your agent session to load the new skillset.
