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)
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 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.
