A skill is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter that gives an AI agent a repeatable capability\u2014a workflow, house rules, or domain knowledge. Without a package manager, developers manually copy skill files into separate agent folders, losing track of versions and duplicating effort across teams. boost automates this: it taps GitHub-hosted registries, searches their contents with BM25 keyword matching (or optional semantic search), and installs chosen skills into all four major agents from a single lock file.\n\nThe default install is zero-dependency\u2014pure Python stdlib with no build step. Search indexes build automatically on first use. Optional semantic search requires installing the [rag] extra, which downloads a small embedding model (~133 MB) on first search; you can also provide an API key for a larger model. The package maintains a curated catalog of 460+ registries across six domains (AI, architecture, UI, Java, ecommerce, infra), with measured item counts rather than estimates.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you actively use Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor, or Gemini CLI and want to centrally manage and version-track AI coding skills across them. The zero-dependency default install and active maintenance make it low-risk. GPLv3 copyleft is a constraint only if you plan to redistribute modified versions. Not necessary if you use a single agent or manually manage skills."},"id":"boost-skill-cli","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/boost-skill-cli","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/boost-skill-cli.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/boost-skill-cli/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"boost-skill-cli","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"boost \u2014 Homebrew for AI coding skills"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":118105,"position":12135,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.451"}
