How to load this skill

Fastest: copy this prompt into your AI agent

Please install the "Anthropic Agent Skills" agent skills collection (https://github.com/anthropics/skills) for me.

If you are Claude Code:
1. Run: /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
2. Show me the available plugins from this marketplace and ask which I want, then install them.

If you are another agent that supports SKILL.md skills (Codex, Cursor, etc.):
1. Run: git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills
2. List the skill folders in the repo (each contains a SKILL.md) and ask me which I want.
3. Copy the chosen skill folders into your skills directory (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ or your agent's equivalent).
4. Confirm the skills load (list your available skills afterwards).
