Agentic Coding

holo agents:install installs versioned Holo-JS coding skills for coding agents.

The installed skill set includes a routing skill, focused guides for each framework area, worked examples, conversion guidance, and a package catalog with a direct documentation link for every package.

Install agent skills

npm

npx holo agents:install

pnpm

pnpm dlx holo agents:install

Yarn

yarn dlx holo agents:install

Bun

bunx holo agents:install

In an interactive terminal, the command shows a multi-select prompt for supported coding agents. In non-interactive environments, it installs every supported target unless --agent is provided.

Supported targets:

• all installs skills for all available agents at once
• codex
• claude
• cursor
• windsurf
• opencode
• gemini
• kiro

Install only selected agents

Use --agent when you only want a subset:

npm

npx holo agents:install --agent codex,cursor

pnpm

pnpm dlx holo agents:install --agent codex,cursor

Yarn

yarn dlx holo agents:install --agent codex,cursor

Bun

bunx holo agents:install --agent codex,cursor

Project-local install

By default, the command writes a project-local skill tree under the current directory:

.codex/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.claude/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.cursor/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.windsurf/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.opencode/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.gemini/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md
.kiro/skills/holo-js/SKILL.md

Each holo-js directory also contains focused skills such as database-orm, forms-validation, queues-events, and storage-media. Agents load the root routing skill first and then read only the focused guidance required for the task.

Commit these files when you want every contributor's agent to use the same Holo-JS guidance in the project.

Global install

Use --global to install into the current user's agent skill directory instead of the current project:

npm

npx holo agents:install --global

pnpm

pnpm dlx holo agents:install --global

Yarn

yarn dlx holo agents:install --global

Bun

bunx holo agents:install --global

Use global install when you want Holo-JS guidance available across all local projects.

Overwrite protection

If any file in a target skill tree differs from the packaged Holo-JS version, or the tree contains an extra file, the command refuses to overwrite it.

Use --force when you intentionally want to replace the existing tree:

npm

npx holo agents:install --force

pnpm

pnpm dlx holo agents:install --force

Yarn

yarn dlx holo agents:install --force

Bun

bunx holo agents:install --force
