Every tool has structured AI metadata. Connect via MCP, fetch agents.md, or browse recipes.
MCP Server

"littlescripts": {
"url":
"https://littlescripts.sh/mcp"
}
Agent Skill
Droppable system prompt that teaches any AI agent how to use littlescripts. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and others.
# add to your agent's instructions
$ curl -fsSL littlescripts.sh/skill.md >> .claude/instructions.md
Or fetch at runtime: GET /skill.md
AGENTS.md
