Install

1. Via npx skills

# Interactive selection (choose which skills and agents to install)
npx skills add zigcc/skills

# Or install a specific version directly
npx skills add zigcc/skills --skill zig-0.17

2. Manual Copy

Copy the target skill directory to your AI tool's skill directory:

# OpenCode (project local)
mkdir -p .opencode/skill && cp -r zig-0.17 .opencode/skill/

# OpenCode (global)
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skill && cp -r zig-0.17 ~/.config/opencode/skill/

# Claude Code
mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r zig-0.17 .claude/skills/

Usage

In Project Rules (Recommended)

Pin your project to a specific Zig version in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so the AI assistant always follows the correct APIs:

# Zig Guidelines

- For Zig 0.17.x, follow `.claude/skills/zig-0.17/SKILL.md` (or `.opencode/skill/zig-0.17/SKILL.md`)
- For Zig 0.16.0, follow `.claude/skills/zig-0.16/SKILL.md` (or `.opencode/skill/zig-0.16/SKILL.md`)
- For Zig 0.15.x, follow `.claude/skills/zig-0.15/SKILL.md` (or `.opencode/skill/zig-0.15/SKILL.md`)

Direct Invocation
