3 minute read

This page introduces RudderStack Agent Skills, a marketplace of skills that teach your AI coding agent how to drive the Rudder CLI, MCP server, Terraform, and Profiles.

Overview

RudderStack Agent Skills is an open Agent Skills marketplace that teaches your AI coding agent how to drive the following programmatic RudderStack surfaces with the right preflight checks, commands, and recovery paths:

A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with instructions that your agent loads on demand. Instead of guessing at commands, your agent follows the workflows RudderStack recommends — validating specs before applying them, previewing changes with a dry run, and recovering from common errors.

Agent Skills work with Claude Code, Cursor, and 40+ AI coding agents. Install them in one command — see How to Install RudderStack Agent Skills.

The marketplace is open source at github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills and listed on skills.sh and cursor.directory.

Marketplace plugins

The marketplace bundles five plugins. Install rudder-core for cross-tool domain knowledge, plus whichever tool plugins you use.

Plugin	Coverage
`rudder-core`	Cross-tool domain knowledge: Data Catalog, Tracking Plans, data graphs, instrumentation planning, and debugging
`rudder-cli`	Workflows for the Rudder CLI and RudderTyper: validate, dry-run, apply, import, and transformations
`rudder-mcp`	Workflows for connecting AI agents to the RudderStack MCP server at `mcp.rudderstack.com`
`rudder-terraform`	Workflows for the RudderStack Terraform provider: setup, resources, and plan/apply cycles
`rudder-profiles`	Workflows for RudderStack Profiles: setup, project creation, analysis, updates, and debugging

Domain knowledge lives in rudder-core, so it never duplicates across the tool-specific plugins.
