Warp Skills
Warp, the agentic development environment, reads Agent Skills from its skills directory. SkillMD lists 25,790 safety-reviewed
skills (SKILL.md files) you can use in Warp free: search by task, install with one command, or copy the file
into ./.agents/skills.
Install a skill in Warp
- CLI (recommended). Install the CLI once, then add any skill to Warp by slug:
npm i -g skillmds skillmd add <owner>/<name> -a warp # project scope → ./.agents/skills skillmd add <owner>/<name> -a warp -g # global scope → ~/.agents/skills - Manual copy. Open any skill on SkillMD, download its SKILL.md, and save it as
./.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md(or~/.agents/skills/…for every project). - MCP server. If Warp supports MCP servers, connect the SkillMD server and ask the agent to search and install skills for you. Setup details: MCP docs.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Warp look for skills?
Warp loads Agent Skills from ./.agents/skills inside a project and from ~/.agents/skills globally. Each skill lives in its own folder as <skill-name>/SKILL.md; the agent reads the skill's description and applies it when a request matches.
How do I install a skill in Warp?
Run npm i -g skillmds once, then skillmd add <owner>/<name> -a warp in your project (add -g for global scope). The CLI writes the SKILL.md into .agents/skills for you. You can also copy the file by hand from any skill page on skillmd.com.
Do skills made for Claude Code work in Warp?
Yes. SKILL.md is an open, agent-neutral format: the same file works across Claude Code, Warp, Cursor, Codex, and 60+ other agents. Only the directory it lives in changes, and skillmd add -a warp handles that for you.
