Manual Install

Install the Keeper Agent Kit by cloning the repo and copying skill files. Works in air-gapped environments and with any agent that reads SKILL.md files.

This guide covers manual installation by cloning the GitHub repo. Use this method if you're in an air-gapped environment, don't have Node.js, or need full control over what gets installed. For faster setup, see all the available installation methods we support for AI Agents.

Step 1: Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/Keeper-Security/keeper-agent-kit
cd keeper-agent-kit

Step 2: Copy Skills to Your Agent

Each agent reads skills from a different directory. Find your agent below and copy the files there.

Agent	Skills Path
Claude Code (global)	~/.claude/skills/
Claude Code (project)	./.claude/skills/
Cursor (global)	~/.cursor/skills/
Cursor (project)	./.cursor/skills/
Codex	~/.codex/skills/
GitHub Copilot	~/.github/skills/
VS Code (Copilot Chat)	./.github/skills/
OpenCode	~/.opencode/skills/
Gemini CLI	~/.gemini/skills/

Example: Claude Code (global install)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/*/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Example: Claude Code (project-level, shared with your team)

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r plugins/*/skills/* .claude/skills/

Then commit .claude/skills/ to your repo so collaborators get the same skills.

Example: Cursor

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills
cp -r plugins/*/skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/

Step 3: Verify

After copying, restart your agent session. Then test with a prompt like:

"How do I list my KSM profiles?"

If the agent responds with ksm profile list, the skills are loaded.

In Claude Code, you can also check /plugin → Installed tab.

Installing Individual Skills

If you only need one skill, copy just that folder:

# Only the secrets skill
cp -r plugins/keeper-secrets/skills/keeper-secrets ~/.claude/skills/

# Only the admin skill
cp -r plugins/keeper-admin/skills/keeper-admin ~/.claude/skills/

# Only the setup skill
cp -r plugins/keeper-setup/skills/keeper-setup ~/.claude/skills/

---

Multi-Agent Setup

If you use more than one agent, you can install to all of them from the same clone:

# Claude Code + Cursor + Codex
for dir in ~/.claude/skills ~/.cursor/skills ~/.codex/skills; do
  mkdir -p "$dir"
  cp -r plugins/*/skills/* "$dir/"
done

Or use symlinks so updates apply everywhere:

CANONICAL=~/.agent-skills/keeper
mkdir -p "$CANONICAL"
cp -r plugins/*/skills/* "$CANONICAL/"

# Symlink into each agent
ln -sf "$CANONICAL"/keeper-secrets ~/.claude/skills/keeper-secrets
ln -sf "$CANONICAL"/keeper-secrets ~/.cursor/skills/keeper-secrets
# ... repeat for each skill and agent

---

Updating

Pull the latest from GitHub and re-copy:

cd keeper-agent-kit
git pull
cp -r plugins/*/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

---

Uninstall

Delete the skill directories from your agent's skills folder:

rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/keeper-secrets
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/keeper-admin
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/keeper-setup

Repeat for any other agents where you installed them.

This only removes the agent skills. The KSM CLI and Commander CLI stay installed on your machine.
