- description: One-command setup for a new AI coding agent. Installs the essential starter skills (find-skills, agent-browser, karpathy-guidelines, ui-ux-pro-max, caveman, arabic-design) across 70+ agents, plus the core Claude Code plugins/MCPs (frontend-design, superpowers, code-review, playwright, github, claude-md-management). Use when the user is setting up a new project or a fresh agent and asks for "the skills/MCPs I should start with", a "starter pack", or "set up my agent".

# Agent Starter Kit
The skills, plugins, and MCP servers worth installing the moment you open a new
agent — bundled into one install. Instead of hunting them down one by one, run the
installer and the agent starts with real capabilities: it can find and install more
skills on demand, drive a browser, reason with guardrails, design clean UI (Arabic
included), review its own code, and automate the browser + GitHub.
## What it installs
**Tier 1 — Skills (work on 70+ agents via `npx skills`: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):**
| Skill | What it gives the agent |
|---|---|
| `find-skills` | Discovers and installs any other skill on demand — the meta-skill |
| `agent-browser` | A real browser the agent controls itself (open, click, fill, verify) |
| `karpathy-guidelines` | Behavior rules: no silent assumptions, minimal solutions, verify before acting |
| `ui-ux-pro-max` | Design-system intelligence — styles, color palettes, font pairings |
| `caveman` | Blunt, no-fluff answers when you want signal over politeness |
| `arabic-design` | Clean Arabic in AI-generated designs (fixes the letter-spacing/RTL traps) |
+ | `design-taste-frontend` | Design taste for landing pages, portfolios and redesigns — stops templated, generic UI ([tasteskill](https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill)) |
+ | `remotion-best-practices` | Video in React with Remotion — the **official** skill, a router carrying 11 nested references (create · markup · captions · render · studio · maps · …) |
**Tier 2 — Plugins / MCPs (Claude Code only):**
| Plugin / MCP | What it gives Claude Code |
|---|---|
| `frontend-design` | Anthropic's design guidance for polished, non-generic UI |
| `superpowers` | TDD + subagent orchestration workflow (brainstorm → design → build → review) |
| `code-review` | `/code-review` on any branch/PR — scored, actionable review |
| `playwright` (MCP) | Browser automation & end-to-end testing |
| `github` (MCP) | Read/manage GitHub repos, PRs, and issues from the agent |
| `claude-md-management` | Keeps your `CLAUDE.md` files organized and current |
## How to run it
From the skill directory:
```bash
bash install.sh # Claude Code — installs everything
bash install.sh --agent cursor # Cursor — installs the Tier 1 skills
bash install.sh --agent codex # Codex — installs the Tier 1 skills
bash install.sh --agent '*' # every detected agent
bash install.sh --skills-only # skip the Claude-Code-only plugins/MCPs
```
The script is **best-effort and safe to re-run**: each item installs independently, and
anything it can't install automatically prints the exact manual command to finish it.
## When invoked as a skill
If an agent loads this skill to set up an environment: run `install.sh` with the right
`--agent` for the current agent. Then confirm what installed and surface any manual
fallback lines the script printed. In Claude Code, remind the user to restart (or run
`/plugin`) so the new plugins load.
## Honest scope note
- **Tier 1 skills are genuinely cross-agent** — `npx skills` targets 70+ agents.
+ - **`design-taste-frontend` is scoped by its own authors** to landing pages, portfolios
+ and redesigns — *not* dashboards, data tables, or multi-step product UI. It is also large
+ (~87KB), so it costs real context when it fires. If a project's UI is a dashboard, or it
+ already has a locked visual system, leave it out of the loop rather than letting it argue
+ with the system you already decided on.
+ - **`remotion-best-practices` is one entry, not twelve.** The official repo ships 12 skills,
+ but the router installs with all 11 others nested inside it and every relative link
+ resolving (verified). Installing the single router keeps the agent's skill list clean and
+ loses nothing — do not "fix" this by adding the siblings as separate entries.
- **Tier 2 is Claude Code only.** Codex/Cursor have no "plugin" equivalent. Their two
*MCP* items (`playwright`, `github`) can still be added to Codex/Cursor through that
agent's own MCP config — the script says so when you pass a non-Claude `--agent`.
