+## Agent skills
+
+This repo can install MetaMask agent skills for Claude, Cursor, and Codex/OpenAI.
+`yarn setup` keeps the public [`MetaMask/skills`](https://github.com/MetaMask/skills)
+cache available through the shared `@metamask/skills` CLI. Run `yarn skills` any
+time to install or refresh the gitignored generated skills under `.claude/skills/`,
+`.cursor/rules/`, and `.agents/skills/`.
+
+By default, all stable skills that support Core are installed when you run `yarn skills`.
+Set `SKILLS_AUTO_UPDATE=1` to opt into best-effort regeneration during setup. The shared package keeps sync/cache behavior uniform with Mobile and Extension.
+To persist a local selection, copy `.skills.local.example` to `.skills.local` and
+set values such as `SKILLS_DOMAINS=perps`.
+
+```bash
+yarn skills                         # refresh default stable Core skills
+yarn skills --domain perps          # install only the perps domain
+yarn skills --select                # interactively choose domains
+yarn skills --reset                 # clear saved local selection
+```
