Jekt Skills

The Jekt™ agent skill teaches your AI agent or coding assistant to work with Jekt: to find and use your project's tickets, plans, designs, and minutes, and to create and update them when you ask. It follows the open Agent Skills format, so it works with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that support skills. It is published in the jekt-skills repository under the Apache License 2.0.

Install it in any of these ways. Pick one per agent; a skill installed twice gives the agent two copies.

Install with npx skills

In your project's repository, run:

npx skills add globalmentor/jekt-skills

skills is an open-source installer for agent skills; npx downloads and runs it, so all you need is Node.js. It asks which agents to install for, then puts the skill where they look for it in your repository. Commit the new files to share the skill with everyone working on the project, or add -g to install it for your user in all your projects instead.

Install with the GitHub CLI

gh skill install globalmentor/jekt-skills jekt

The GitHub CLI includes the gh skill command from version 2.90. It installs into your repository and asks which agent to install for; add --agent to name one, such as --agent claude-code, or --scope user to install for your user. In a script, where it cannot ask, it installs for GitHub Copilot unless you name another agent.

Install as a Plugin

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add globalmentor/jekt-skills
/plugin install jekt@jekt-skills

In GitHub Copilot CLI:

copilot plugin install globalmentor/jekt-skills

In VS Code, install the plugin directly, or run Chat: Install Plugin from Source from the Command Palette and enter https://github.com/globalmentor/jekt-skills.

Copy It Yourself

Copy the skills/jekt/ folder from the jekt-skills repository into .agents/skills/ in your project, or into whatever folder your agent reads skills from.

Next Steps

You don't need to invoke the skill: ask your assistant for what you want in your own words, such as "Create a ticket to add CSV export." You can ask for several things in one request, and the assistant suggests what you might do next. The Quickstart walks you through your first ticket, starting with initializing Jekt in your repository. To update the skill later, run npx skills update or gh skill update, or update the plugin in your agent.
