About
Skilless is a zero-config AI agent skill library that bundles semantic web search (via Exa), webpage reading (Jina Reader), video download and subtitle extraction (yt-dlp, 1700+ sites), and media conversion (FFmpeg) into a single installer. One curl command handles everything — no API keys, no Node.js, no Homebrew. Skills install into an isolated environment at ~/.agents/skills/ and work with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and any SKILL.md-aware agent runtime. MIT licensed and built by a Google Developer Expert.
Non-technical users and agents that need real-world data access (web search, video transcripts, media conversion) with zero setup friction — particularly for research and writing workflows where the agent should gather information, not just generate text.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- check Genuinely zero-config: one command installs and wires up four real-world data tools with no credentials required
- check Isolated installation (`~/.agents/skills/`) means no system pollution and no sudo
- check 1700+ video sites via yt-dlp is a surprisingly broad capability for subtitle extraction and research workflows
- check Three higher-level skills (Brainstorming, Deep Research, Professional Writing) orchestrate the tools into complete workflows
- check Windows support via PowerShell script — not just Unix-centric
Cons
- close Semantic search relies on Exa under the hood — usage-based costs may apply at higher research volumes
- close macOS sandboxed apps (like OpenCode desktop) need "Full Disk Access" to reach skills — extra setup step for that workflow
- close Skill set is limited to four tools; no community contribution mechanism described for extending it
- close Primarily positioned for end users and "regular people" — depth may feel limited for advanced agent builders
- close Minimal ecosystem compared to larger registries like ClawHub or ClawSkill
