The product also supports Cloudflare's Agent Skills Discovery RFC. This allows flins to install skills directly from any domain that hosts a `.well-known/agent-skills/index.json` endpoint. Developers can run commands like `flins add developer.cloudflare.com` to fetch and install available skills from RFC-compatible sources. This feature enables seamless discovery and installation of official skills from companies and developers who publish them via this standard, integrating flins into a broader ecosystem of skill providers.

flins works by acting as a central orchestration layer between skill repositories and individual AI agent environments. It uses a command-line interface that abstracts the complexity of different agent skill systems. When a user adds a skill, flins clones or fetches it from the specified source, places it in the central `.agents/skills/` directory, and then creates the necessary symlinks in the directories of all configured and supported AI agents on the user's system. Its unique approach is treating AI agent skills like system-level package dependencies, applying proven software management paradigms to this new domain.

The primary benefit for users is a massive reduction in management overhead and consistency across tools. Developers no longer need to manually copy skills or follow different installation guides for each AI agent. Updates are centralized, ensuring all agents use the latest version of a skill. This leads to more reliable and powerful AI assistance, as skills are consistently available. It also fosters a cleaner development environment by avoiding file duplication and simplifying skill discovery and experimentation.

Concrete use cases include a developer working across Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot who needs a specific authentication library skill. Instead of installing it three times via different methods, they run `flins add better-auth` once. Another scenario is a team adopting a new official skill from Cloudflare for their infrastructure work; they can install it directly from the Cloudflare docs domain using the RFC support. A developer maintaining a custom skill can host it on a private GitLab instance and distribute it to their team simply by sharing the `flins add` command with the repository URL.

The target users are developers and engineering teams who utilize multiple AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot in their daily workflow. It integrates seamlessly with the existing skill directories of these 16+ supported tools. The tech stack is centered around a CLI tool, git for source control, and symlinks for file management. flins is open source and available on GitHub, with a curated directory of official skills from leading companies like Cloudflare, Expo, and Convex, and it accepts community contributions.

In summary, flins delivers the primary value proposition of a unified, efficient, and developer-friendly skill management system for the fragmented world of AI coding agents. By applying package manager principles and smart symlinking, it turns a chaotic multi-tool skill landscape into a single, command-line-controlled resource, saving time, ensuring consistency, and empowering developers to get the most out of their AI assistants.
