Companion skills for Vercel Academy courses. Install with any coding agent that supports the Skills standard.

Discover courses, guided learning, progress tracking. Install globally so it's available in any project:

npx skills add vercel-labs/academy-skills --skill=academy -g -y

Each course has a companion skill with a project wizard, progress detection, and lesson-by-lesson guidance. Install in your project directory when you start a course:

Course skills fetch lesson content from Academy's .md endpoints at runtime:

/academy/llms.txt                          → course index
/academy/<course>.md                       → course overview
/academy/<course>/<lesson>.md              → lesson content
/academy/llms-full.txt                     → bulk export

1. Create skills/<course-slug>/SKILL.md
2. Define the curriculum map, progress detection, and slash commands
3. Add reference docs in skills/<course-slug>/references/
4. Test with a simulated student walkthrough

See skills/filesystem-agents/ for the reference implementation.
