start

Initialize the productivity system and open the dashboard. Use when setting up the plugin for the first time, bootstrapping working memory from your existing task list, or decoding the shorthand (nicknames, acronyms, project codenames) you use in your todos.

This skill ships only metadata — no inline instructions. See the source repo for details.

Install this skill

One command (all agents)

Runs the npx skills CLI which auto-detects every AI coding agent you have installed (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, Copilot, and 51 more).

npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/tree/HEAD/productivity/skills/start

Alternative: shorthand form

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start

Install to a specific agent

Pick the agent you use. The CLI writes the skill to that agent's standard skill directory.

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent claude-code

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent cursor

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent codex

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent opencode

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent github-copilot

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill start --agent windsurf

Manual install (no CLI)

Prefer to skip the CLI? Clone the repo and drop the skill folder into your agent's skills directory.

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.git

cp -r knowledge-work-plugins/productivity/skills/start ~/.claude/skills/

For other agents, replace ~/.claude/skills/ with their skill directory — see the full list.

Use it

Once installed, ask your agent to "use the start skill" or describe what you want (e.g. "Initialize the productivity system and open the dashboard. Use when setting up t"). Most agents auto-discover the skill from its SKILL.md description — no slash command needed.

Requires: Node.js 18+ for npx skills. Skill files are MIT-style permissive by default — check the source repo for the actual license.
