Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/agent-skills/skills/vercel-cli-with-tokens ~/.claude/skills/vercel-cli-with-tokens

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

When	What loads	Cost
Every session	Name and description	59 tok
When the agent uses it	The SKILL.md instructions	2,614 tok
Only if opened	No bundled files	—

Until it is used, vercel-cli-with-tokens costs about 23× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 9 skills from vercel-labs/agent-skills would load 623 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
