Bitmovin Skills
A collection of portable agent skills for working with the Bitmovin platform and video development in general.
This repo is intentionally not tied to Claude Code only:
- Each skill lives under
skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md as portable markdown
.claude-plugin/ provides Claude Code plugin wrappersplugins/<skill-name>/.codex-plugin/plugin.json provides Codex plugin wrappers- The canonical
skills/ layout is compatible with skills.sh
- The same skill files can also be installed directly into ChatGPT/Codex-style local skills directories

The sections below describe install paths shared by all skills in this repo. Skill-specific details live inside each skill's directory.
Quick Install With npx (any AI tool)
For the hub bitmovin skill — the one-prompt entry point that introduces every Bitmovin product and walks through MCP/CLI/SDK setup — run:
npx @bitmovin/skills
The wizard detects which AI tool you're using (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, …) and installs the skill into the right location. Pass --target <name> to skip the prompt or --list-targets to see the full list. Source: bin/cli.js.
The wizard fetches the canonical skill content from https://bitmovin.com/skill so updates to the hosted skill propagate to existing installs without republishing the package.
Install In Claude Code
# Add the Bitmovin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add bitmovin/skills
# Install a plugin (one per skill)
/plugin install bitmovin-player-web@bitmovin
After install, the skill loads in every Claude Code session automatically. No further config.
Verify with "What skills do you have access to?" — the installed skill should appear.
Install In ChatGPT / Codex
If your ChatGPT/Codex setup supports local skills, copy the skill into your Codex home:
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/bitmovin-player-web
cp skills/bitmovin-player-web/SKILL.md ~/.codex/skills/bitmovin-player-web/SKILL.md
Repeat for any other skill in skills/ you want available.
Install With skills.sh
This repository is compatible with skills.sh because each skill lives under skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md, which is one of the repository layouts that npx skills discovers automatically.
Examples:
# List the skills exposed by this repo
npx skills add bitmovin/skills --list
# Install just one skill interactively
npx skills add bitmovin/skills --skill bitmovin-player-web
# Install to specific agents
npx skills add bitmovin/skills --skill bitmovin-player-web -a claude-code -a codex
# Install globally without prompts
npx skills add bitmovin/skills --skill bitmovin-player-web -g -y
Use skills.sh when you want the portable skill installed into an agent's normal skill directory. Use the Claude or Codex plugin wrappers in this repo only when you specifically want those host-native plugin surfaces.
Install In Codex As A Plugin
This repo includes Codex plugin wrappers under plugins/<skill-name>/ plus repo-local marketplace metadata at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json.
For a home-local Codex plugin install, copy the plugin and marketplace entry into the standard Codex locations:
mkdir -p ~/.agents/plugins ~/plugins
cp -R plugins/bitmovin-player-web ~/plugins/bitmovin-player-web
cp .agents/plugins/marketplace.json ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
If you already have ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json, merge in the new entries instead of overwriting the file.
A local Codex marketplace entry looks like:
