# vibe install-hooks

> Install AI coding assistant skills for Vibe development.

## Synopsis

```
vibe install-hooks [options]
```

## Description

Installs Vibe-specific skill files into AI coding assistant configurations (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot). Skills teach the AI assistant about Vibe's manifest format, CLI, and packaging workflow so it can provide accurate, context-aware suggestions.

## What gets installed

| Tool           | File location                  |
| -------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Claude Code    | `.claude/skills/vibe/SKILL.md` |

## Notes

* `project` scope installs into the current working directory
* `user` scope installs into your home directory (`~/.claude/` and `~/.agents/`)
* Skill files contain the Vibe manifest schema, CLI reference, and packaging best practices
* Run with `--force` to update skill files when you upgrade the Vibe CLI
