Devin

Devin is project-scoped: it has no global skills folder, so you run Skillet inside the repo. Skillet writes each skill as a rule file into .devin/rules and links it from your AGENTS.md if you have one.

Note Support status: Supported. Project-scoped: Skillet writes into the repo you run it in. Last verified June 24, 2026.

Where rules live

How translation works

<repo>/.devin/rules/
  @taylor--festival-ops.md

Each file holds the skill body under a short comment header with the skill's name and description. You can read it, but Skillet owns it: it gets rewritten on the next sync.

If an AGENTS.md exists at the repo root, Skillet links the rule from it inside a managed block (…) and backs up the prior version first. Skillet never creates AGENTS.md: it only edits one that's already there.

Connect Skillet

Install the app if you're new to Skillet: it detects Devin for you. To set up from the terminal instead:

npx skilletmd
# or: npm install -g skilletmd && skillet

Devin has no global skills folder, so skillet sync writes per repo: run it from inside the project. Skillet detects a Devin project by looking for .devin, .devin/rules, AGENTS.md, AGENT.md, or CLAUDE.md, the files Devin reads. Every write is backed up first.

Common commands

skillet add @author/skill     # Add a skill to your kit
skillet sync                  # Write .devin/rules/*.md into the current repo
skillet list                  # List your kit's skills, grouped by kit
skillet scan                  # Show the scan state of your kit's skills

Updates from other people are scanned, not certified, and a human approves each one before it lands.
