"I know Kung-Fu."

"Show me."

— Neo & Morpheus, The Matrix (1999)

In The Matrix, Neo sits in a chair, cables jack into his skull, and seconds later he opens his eyes with complete mastery of martial arts. No years of training. No endless practice. Just... knowledge transfer.

This skill brings that concept to AI coding agents.

Kung-fu is a meta-skill — a skill that teaches your agent how to learn other skills. Once installed, your agent can discover, evaluate, and install any skill it needs on demand.

I know React.

Your agent first searches through 675+ validated skills across 15 curated repositories:

If the local dojo doesn't have what you need, jack into the Matrix — a global index of 71,000+ skills at skills.sh:

curl -s "https://skills.sh/api/search?q=kung-fu&limit=10"

Once installed, your agent automatically gains the ability to learn. When it encounters an unfamiliar domain:

1. Agent recognizes the gap — "I need to work with Terraform but lack expertise"
2. Agent searches for skills — First local repositories, then remote if needed
3. Skills are uploaded — Relevant knowledge is installed via add-skill CLI
4. Agent opens its eyes — "I know Terraform."

The skill activates whenever your agent needs capabilities it doesn't have. No slash command required — it's always watching, always ready to learn.

Once installed, your agent gains the ability to teach itself anything it needs to know.

"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."

This skill doesn't make your agent omniscient. It gives your agent the awareness that knowledge exists and the ability to acquire it on demand. The agent still decides what to learn and when.

The difference between a good agent and a great one isn't what it knows — it's knowing that it can know more.

Traditional development: Learn a framework over months, practice for years, become an expert.

Kung-fu development: Need expertise? Download it. Move on. Ship.

The skills aren't real in the sense that they're not permanent parts of your agent's training. They're loaded on demand, used for the task, then cleaned up. Like programs in the Matrix — real enough to be useful, ephemeral enough to be replaceable.

"What are you trying to tell me? That I can write production code in any framework?"

"No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... you won't have to."
