flins serves as a universal skill and command manager specifically designed for AI coding agents. It functions as a dependency manager for agent skills, similar to npm, addressing the challenge of managing skills across different AI agents that each handle skills differently. The main purpose is to enable consistent skill management across multiple AI coding tools through a single interface.

flins provides commands including flins add, flins update, flins remove, flins outdated, flins clean, flins list, and flins search. These commands allow developers to install skills from curated lists or any git repository, manage updates, remove skills, check for outdated skills, clean unused skills, list installed skills, and search for available skills. The platform supports installation from various sources including GitHub, GitLab, and any other git host.

The tool works by providing a unified CLI that acts as a centralized manager for skills across different AI coding agents. It enables developers to maintain multi-agent workflows consistently without needing to learn different skill management systems for each tool. The approach is similar to package managers in traditional development, but specifically tailored for AI agent skills.

Benefits include streamlined skill management across multiple AI development tools, reduced maintenance overhead for multi-agent workflows, and access to a curated directory of skills. Use cases involve installing official skills from teams like Expo for building Expo apps, Cloudflare platform references, Better Auth authentication framework skills, Convex database skills, React Native optimization skills, and Vercel performance guidelines.

Target users are developers working with AI coding agents who need to manage skills across multiple tools. The product integrates with 16+ AI development tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Trae, Factory Droid, Letta, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, Amp, Kilo Code, Roo Code, Goose, and Qoder. Technical details include support for installation via npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun package managers.
