Overview

BRV Hub is a community marketplace for pre-built agent skills and context bundles. Browse and install content from the official registry without authentication, using the interactive TUI (/hub) or the standalone CLI (brv hub).

Content Types

Agent Skills

Reusable workflow instructions installed into agent-specific skill directories. Require selecting a target agent during installation.Installed file(s): SKILL.md

Context Bundles

Curated knowledge packs installed directly to your project’s context tree (.brv/context-tree/). No agent selection needed.Installed files vary by bundle (e.g., context.md)

Quick Start

Browse available content

brv hub list

Install a skill

brv hub install byterover-review --agent "Claude Code"

Install a bundle

brv hub install typescript-kickstart

Interactive Browser

In the ByteRover TUI, type /hub to open the interactive hub browser. This provides a searchable, scrollable interface for browsing, previewing, and installing entries.

Browsing Flow

List view — All entries displayed in a searchable list. Type to filter by ID, name, description, tags, or author.
Detail view — Select an entry to see its full description, use cases, metadata (tags, category, author, license), and file list.
Agent selection — For agent skills, choose a target agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or GitHub Copilot).
Install — The skill or bundle downloads and installs to the appropriate directory.

Keybinds

Key	Action
`Enter`	Install the selected entry
`o`	Open entry in browser
`Esc`	Go back / cancel

CLI Commands

`brv hub list`

List all available skills and bundles from configured registries.

brv hub list [OPTIONS]

Flag	Description	Default
`-f, --format <format>`	Output format: `text` or `json`	`text`

The text output displays a table with columns: ID, Type, Version, Description, Category, and Registry (shown when multiple registries are configured).

Use --format json for machine-readable output in scripts and CI pipelines.

`brv hub install <id>`

Install a skill or bundle by its entry ID.

brv hub install <id> [OPTIONS]

Argument / Flag	Description	Required
`id`	Entry ID to install	Yes
`-a, --agent <agent>`	Target agent for skill install	For skills
`-r, --registry <name>`	Registry to install from	No
`-s, --scope <scope>`	Install scope: `global` (home dir) or `project` (current dir)	No (default: `project`)
`-f, --format <format>`	Output format: `text` or `json`	No

Supported agents: Any agent with a Skill connector — including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Github Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Kilo Code, Roo Code, Amp, Kiro, Junie, and more. See Agent Connectors for the full list.

# Install a skill for Claude Code
brv hub install byterover-review --agent "Claude Code"

# Install a skill for Cursor
brv hub install byterover-plan --agent Cursor

# Install a bundle (no agent needed)
brv hub install typescript-kickstart

# Install from a specific registry
brv hub install byterover-review --registry myco --agent "Claude Code"

Agent skills require the --agent flag. If omitted, the CLI returns an error. Context bundles install directly without needing an agent.

Agent Install Paths

When you install an agent skill, files are written to an agent-specific directory:

Agent	Install Path	Scope
Claude Code	`.claude/skills/byterover/<skill-id>/`	Project
Cursor	`.cursor/skills/byterover/<skill-id>/`	Project
Codex	`.agents/skills/byterover/<skill-id>/`	Global (`~`)
GitHub Copilot	`.github/skills/byterover/<skill-id>/`	Project

Project scope — Files are written relative to your project root directory.
Global scope — Files are written relative to your home directory (~).

Each installed skill includes a SKILL.md file containing the full skill definition with workflow phases and instructions. Context bundles install to .brv/context-tree/ in your project directory.
