Details
From the project READMEUpdate CopilotKit Skills
Run this command to pull the latest CopilotKit skills from GitHub:
npx skills add copilotkit/skills --full-depth -y
This does a fresh clone every time — it always gets the latest version regardless of what's cached.
This works across all tools — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others. It detects which tools are installed and updates skills for each.
After the command completes, start a new session in your tool to pick up the changes.
When to Suggest This
- User says the skills have wrong API names or outdated information
- User reports that a CopilotKit API doesn't match what the skill says
- User explicitly asks to update or refresh skills
- A new CopilotKit version was released and skills may be stale
