Awesome-omni-skill tooluniverse-install-skills

Detect and auto-install missing ToolUniverse research skills by checking common client skill directories and cloning from GitHub if absent. Use when ToolUniverse specialized skills are not installed, when setting up a new project, or when the tooluniverse router skill needs to bootstrap its sub-skills before routing.

ToolUniverse Install Skills

Checks whether the ToolUniverse specialized skills are installed and installs them automatically if not.

Detection

Use the Shell tool to check for the canary file across all common client locations:

ls .cursor/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .agents/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .windsurf/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .gemini/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .claude/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .opencode/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .trae/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || ls .skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"
  • Output is a file path → skills already installed, stop here.
  • Output is
    NOT_INSTALLED
    → proceed to installation.

Installation

# 1. Download skills from GitHub (shallow, sparse — only skills/ folder)
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse \
  https://github.com/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse.git /tmp/tu-skills
cd /tmp/tu-skills && git sparse-checkout set skills

# 2. Copy to the correct directory for the detected client:
mkdir -p .cursor/skills  && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .cursor/skills/   # Cursor
# mkdir -p .agents/skills  && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/  # Codex/OpenAI
# mkdir -p .windsurf/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .windsurf/skills/ # Windsurf
# mkdir -p .gemini/skills  && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .gemini/skills/  # Gemini CLI
# mkdir -p .claude/skills  && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .claude/skills/  # Claude Code
# mkdir -p .opencode/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .opencode/skills/ # OpenCode
# mkdir -p .trae/skills    && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .trae/skills/    # Trae
# mkdir -p .skills         && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .skills/         # Cline/VS Code

# 3. Clean up
rm -rf /tmp/tu-skills

If the client cannot be detected automatically, ask the user which one they use before running step 2.

Client Detection

After Installation

Confirm success:

ls .cursor/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md

Tell the user: "ToolUniverse skills installed successfully. You now have access to 50+ specialized research workflows."
