README

What is Zanat?

Zanat manages AI agent skills: markdown files that tell an agent how to behave in a specific situation. Skills live in a Git repository, so they are versioned, shareable, and easy to keep in sync across machines and teams.

You search for skills, add the ones you want, and they land in ~/.agents/skills/ where any compatible agent can pick them up. When the hub updates, you pull and update, just like any other dependency.

Quick Start

npm install -g @iamramo/zanat-cli

zanat hub add  # point it at your hub repository
zanat skill search   # browse available skills
zanat skill add vercel.frontend.react-patterns

Commands

Command Description
zanat hub add Add a new hub interactively
zanat hub rm <name> Remove a hub
zanat hub switch <name> Switch the active hub
zanat hub list List all configured hubs
zanat hub pull Pull latest changes from the hub
zanat skill add [skill] Add a skill, or all hub skills if no name is given
zanat skill add <skill> --pin=<ref> Add a skill pinned to a specific tag or commit
zanat skill rm [skill] Remove a skill, or all added skills if no name is given
zanat skill update [skill] Update one or all non-pinned skills
zanat skill list List added skills with version info
zanat skill search [query] Search available skills in the hub
zanat show <skill> Show the full content of a skill
zanat status Show hub and skills status

See the CLI README for the full reference.

Version Tracking

Skills either track the hub branch by default or are pinned to a specific point in time.

zanat skill add vercel.frontend.react-patterns               # tracks hub branch
zanat skill add vercel.frontend.react-patterns --pin=v1.2.0  # pinned to tag
zanat skill add vercel.frontend.react-patterns --pin=abc1234 # pinned to commit

Tracked skills update when you run zanat skill update. Pinned skills never auto-update. Re-add without --pin to resume tracking.

Writing Skills

A skill is a markdown file with a short YAML frontmatter header:

---
name: code-review
description: Reviews code for quality, correctness, and readability
---

# Code Review

When reviewing code, focus on...

The only required fields are name and description. Everything below the frontmatter is the instruction content the agent will read.

Store skills in a Git repository organized by namespace. The directory path becomes the skill's identifier:

hub/anthropic/code-review/SKILL.md   →   anthropic.code-review
hub/vercel/frontend/react/SKILL.md   →   vercel.frontend.react

See zanat-hub for examples.

MCP Server

Zanat ships a standalone MCP server so agents can manage skills programmatically: search, add, update, and remove without leaving the conversation.

npx @iamramo/zanat-mcp

Add it to your agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zanat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@iamramo/zanat-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Tool Description
search_skills Search skills by name or content
list_skills List added skills with version and pin status
get_skill Get the full content of a skill
add_skill Add a skill, optionally pinned to a tag or SHA
update_skill Update one or all non-pinned skills
remove_skill Remove an added skill
