Playdrop Skill Compatibility

This page documents the legacy playdrop umbrella skill from the playdrop-skills repo.

The preferred public setup is now the Playdrop plugin. The plugin gives better results because it contains many specialist skills and is the main public integration for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.

The playdrop-skills repo remains the generated legacy compatibility and skills.sh surface.

When to still use the skill

Use the legacy skill only when:

• your AI tool still uses the older skill-first install model
• you depend on the skills.sh compatibility surface
• you need the broad umbrella workflow instead of the newer plugin with specialist skills

Legacy install

npx skills add https://github.com/playdrop-ai/playdrop-skills --skill playdrop

Public links:

• Preferred plugin docs
• playdrop-plugin on GitHub
• Playdrop on skills.sh
• playdrop-skills on GitHub

What the legacy skill still covers

• installing and using the Playdrop CLI
• inspecting the public catalogue before creating or remixing
• choosing between create, remix, local dev, validate, and publish flows
• integrating runtime surfaces such as identity, multiplayer, monetization, assets, AI generation, and meta

Best results now

For the best public setup, use the Playdrop plugin together with the CLI:

npm install -g @playdrop/playdrop-cli
playdrop auth login
playdrop auth whoami
playdrop documentation browse
