Fimo ships skills and rule files that make your coding agent fluent in the fimo workflow — schemas, entries, forms, t() labels, fimo/ui components, deploys, and more. fimo init sets these up automatically; this page covers installing them on their own and adding more agents later.

​
Install skills

Run the CLI via npx fimo@latest — do not install fimo globally. Because npx runs from an ephemeral cache with no stable path to symlink into, use copy mode:
Pick your agent(s), or name them explicitly:
fimo skills install shows a one-screen preview of every path it will touch before writing, and prints exactly which files it wrote — no silent magic.
fimo skills install is context-aware. Outside a Fimo project it installs only the global skills. Inside a project it also writes the project fimo skill and generates the per-agent rule file — one command, full setup.

​
The two skills

fimo-cli (global)

Installed once per machine. Covers the CLI workflow — creating projects, building content, running the app locally, deploying. Loads in any compatible AI tool.

fimo (project)

Installed into the project, version-locked to the project’s fimo package. Covers the code-side surface: schemas, forms, t(), fimo/ui components.

​
Per-agent rule files

Alongside the universal AGENTS.md, fimo init generates the right rule file for each AI tool you select:

​
Keep skills current

Global skills auto-refresh whenever a newer CLI runs, and the project skill auto-refreshes when the fimo package version bumps. Invoke sync by hand when you want to force a refresh.
Adding a teammate on a different tool? Run fimo skills install --agents=cursor from inside the project — global skill + project skill + rule file in one shot.
