What Google AI Skills is

Google AI Skills is a skill published in the google-labs-code/stitch-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 8.4k stars. The repository describes itself as: “A library of Agent Skills designed to work with the Stitch MCP server. Each skill follows the Agent Skills open standard, for compatibility with coding agents such as Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Cursor.”

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: frontmatter with a name and a description, followed by instructions Claude follows. Claude loads a skill automatically when a task matches its description, and you can also run it directly with a slash and its name.

Skills work in Claude Code and in Claude Cowork, which makes Google AI Skills a portable way to give Claude the same method everywhere.

How to install Google AI Skills

Claude Code

  1. Download the google-ai-skills folder from the repository.
  2. Save it as ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for all projects, or .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for one project.
  3. Claude loads it automatically when a task matches; you can also run it with / and its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Zip the skill folder so SKILL.md sits at the top level of the folder.
  2. Open Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. Start a task that matches the description, or call it by name with /.

A collection of agent skills and plugins for Google Stitch, following the Agent Skills open standard. Compatible with coding agents such as Codex, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode (manual install).

Quick Start

1. Install Plugins (Recommended)

The fastest way to set up the full Stitch plugin suite globally.

Codex

Add the Stitch Skills marketplace, then install the plugins you need.

Via CLI (recommended)

codex plugin marketplace add google-labs-code/stitch-skills --ref main \
  --sparse .agents/plugins \
  --sparse plugins/stitch-design \
  --sparse plugins/stitch-build \
  --sparse plugins/stitch-utilities

> [!TIP] > The --sparse flags are optional — they limit the checkout to only the > listed paths for a faster clone. Omit them to pull the entire repository.

Via the Codex UI

Navigate to Settings → Plugin Marketplaces → Add and fill in:

Once the marketplace is registered, install any combination of:

  • stitch-design — design-focused skills
  • stitch-build — build and component skills
  • stitch-utilities — utility and helper skills

Claude Code & Cursor

# Claude Code — installs into the current project
npx plugins add google-labs-code/stitch-skills --scope project --target claude-code
# Cursor — installs into the current workspace
npx plugins add google-labs-code/stitch-skills --scope workspace --target cursor

OpenCode

OpenCode does not use npx plugins / npx skills or the Codex/Claude marketplace layout. Install skills and the Stitch MCP server manually:

1. Skills — copy the skill folders you need into a discoverable path:

# Project-local (recommended)
mkdir -p .opencode/skills
cp -R plugins/stitch-design/skills/generate-design .opencode/skills/generate-design
# repeat for other skills under plugins/*/skills/

OpenCode also discovers .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/ (see OpenCode skills docs).

> Naming: OpenCode requires skill name frontmatter to be lowercase kebab-case and match the directory name. Skills that use stitch::… names (or other non-kebab forms) need the name field and folder renamed before OpenCode will load them. Extra frontmatter such as allowed-tools is ignored.

2. Stitch MCP — add a remote MCP entry in project opencode.json or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json after completing the Stitch MCP setup:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "stitch": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "YOUR_STITCH_MCP_URL",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_STITCH_MCP_URL with the endpoint from the Stitch MCP setup flow (credentials/env vars from that guide still apply).

Tool names inside skill instructions may differ from OpenCode builtins (webfetch / bash instead of web_fetch / run_command). Prefer the OpenCode tool names when adapting a skill for OpenCode.

2. Install Skills Selectively

Choose only the specific skills you need.

> [!IMPORTANT] > Stitch Design Skills often have inter-dependencies. If you choose to install skills selectively, ensure you include all required dependencies.

npx skills add google-labs-code/stitch-skills

You can run the following commands to see the help documentation for plugins and skills:

npx plugins --help

npx skills --help

Prerequisites

These skills require the Stitch MCP server to be configured and running in your agent's environment. Make sure you have followed the Stitch MCP Setup Instructions to register the server and set up appropriate environment variables and credentials.

> Docs navigation: If a link on stitch.withgoogle.com/docs redirects incorrectly, open the target path under the same host (e.g. https://stitch.withgoogle.com/docs/learn/device-types/).

Available Plugins

Design (stitch-design)

Core design workflows for creating, managing, and optimizing designs within Stitch.

Build (stitch-build)

Code generation, framework integration, and asset compilation from Stitch designs.

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
