✨ New features

idx skills install — editor skill installer

New command to install idx skills into your AI-powered editor. Supports GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor.

  • Clones the skills repository into a temp directory, runs the install script, and cleans up automatically
  • Silent by default — pass --verbose to stream git and installer output in real time
  • Requires git in $PATH

Styled version output

idx version now renders an ASCII art logo alongside version, tagline, build date, and current directory.
