Delegate complex, long-running tasks to Manus AI agent for autonomous execution. Use when user says 'use manus', 'delegate to manus', 'send to manus', 'have manus do', 'ask manus', 'check manus sessions', or when tasks require deep web research, market analysis, product comparisons, stock analysis, competitive research, document generation, data analysis, or multi-step workflows that benefit from autonomous agent execution with parallel processing.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'manus' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'manus' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named manus already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/sanjay3290/ai-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c84255839a1bfaa06d681aa528f9b50d70002afb' -- 'skills/manus' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/manus' ~/.agents/skills/'manus' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'manus' ~/.claude/skills/'manus' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
