kimi-skills

Local mirror of the Kimi skills catalog, kept for offline use and version control. The previous Chinese README is archived as README.zh-CN.md.

Each skill is its own directory under skills/, with a SKILL.md entry file and optional references, scripts, and templates. The tree also includes the 9 tool skills shipped with MoonshotAI/kimi-cli. The public catalog changes over time; this repo currently has 134 skill directories (125 from Kimi, including a few no longer listed on the site, plus those 9 kimi-cli skills).

Categories and the full list: skills/README.md.

Install

Use the vercel-labs/skills CLI to install these skills into an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and 45+ others):

# Install into the current project (recommended)
npx skills add haomingz/kimi-skills

# Install globally, for every project
npx skills add -g haomingz/kimi-skills

# Install a subset
npx skills add haomingz/kimi-skills -s equity-researcher,chart-gen

# List installed skills
npx skills list

# Upgrade to the latest version
npx skills update

On the first npx skills add, pick the agent you use (for example claude-code), or pass -a claude-code.

Development

The Python scripts use the standard library only. uv is the recommended way to run them:

# First time: create .venv and pin the Python version
uv sync

uv run python scripts/kimi-audit.py
uv run python scripts/kimi-extract.py

Without uv, python scripts/kimi-audit.py works on Python ≥ 3.9.

Updating skills

Option 1 (recommended): let the agent sync

Tell the agent:

Use the kimi-sync skill to sync the latest skills from kimi.com into this repo

The agent picks a browser in this order:

1. The agent’s built-in browser (for example Cursor’s browser tools).
2. Playwright MCP, if there is no built-in browser. Extension mode drives your already logged-in Chrome; isolated mode needs a login inside that browser.
3. Any other browser MCP that can open a page and run JavaScript in it.

It then opens https://www.kimi.com/skills, expands every category, diffs names and file contents against skills/, downloads what is missing or changed, and extracts the zips. Details: .agents/skills/kimi-sync/SKILL.md.

---

Option 2: manual, without an agent

kimi-list.js and kimi-download.js are function expressions. In the DevTools console, wrap and call them: ()().

1. List the skills currently on Kimi

Open https://www.kimi.com/skills while logged in. Click every “View … more” row so each category is fully loaded, then run ()() and copy the comma-separated names. The list script expands those rows itself.

2. Audit missing names

uv run python scripts/kimi-audit.py --kimi-names "skill-a,skill-b,..."

The script prints missing names and a window._kimiTargets = [...] snippet. Directories that exist only locally are left in place.

3. Download missing or updated skills

In the console, on the Skills page:

window._kimiTargets = ["skill-a", "skill-b"];  // missing or changed skills only
()()

The script uses each card’s ⋯ More → Download menu (Chinese UI: 下载). If the skill is not installed yet, it clicks Add / 安装 first. Allow multiple downloads if Chrome asks. Each skill takes about 6 seconds (a built-in 5.5 second gap).

A logged-in page can also return a signed zip URL from getSkillFileTree. That URL can be fetched with curl and does not depend on the browser download folder. The sync skill uses this path for in-agent browsers.

4. Extract into the repo

# Finds the real Downloads folder, including a Windows folder redirected to another drive
uv run python scripts/kimi-extract.py
# Or point at a specific folder, such as Playwright's .playwright-mcp directory
uv run python scripts/kimi-extract.py --downloads-dir "D:/Downloads"

5. Commit

git add skills
git commit -m "Sync Kimi skills $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"

Notes

• Where is Download? On the current Kimi UI it is the ⋯ menu on each card (.skill-more-btn). The menu item reads Download or 下载. Skills that are not added yet show Add or 安装 and must be added before that menu item appears. kimi-download.js does this.
• Categories are paged. Each section renders about 10 cards until button.skill-section-overflow is clicked. A scrape that skips those rows misses most of the catalog.
• Why 5.5 seconds? Browsers merge or block rapid downloads from the same site. The gap avoids that.
• Duplicate zips. Chrome saves repeats as skill (1).zip. kimi-extract.py keeps the newest file for each name.
• Where do downloads land? A built-in agent browser often cannot write to the system Downloads folder; use the signed zip URL instead. Playwright extension mode uses the normal Chrome Downloads folder (kimi-extract.py with no arguments). Isolated Playwright uses .playwright-mcp/, which needs --downloads-dir.
• kimi-cli skills stay out of the Kimi diff. kimi-audit.py ignores codex-worker, feature-smoke-test, gen-changelog, gen-docs, gen-rust, pull-request, release, translate-docs, and worktree-status.
