The repobuddy package is an agent plugin as well as a CLI. The plugin ships agent skills:
instruction packs that a coding agent loads when a request matches. Each skill covers one repository chore, such as
filing an issue, merging dependency PRs, or setting up branch protection. Ask in plain words (“add badges to the
readme”) or run the slash command (/add-badges).
Skills that need a deterministic step run a bundled script. See Skill scripts.

The skills install into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot CLI. The skills CLI route also covers any
harness it supports. Individual skills read or write one harness’s files: review-permissions reads six harnesses,
init-buddy writes allow lists for Claude Code, Cursor CLI, and Codex CLI. See
Install the skills for each route.
