# RudderStack Agent Skills


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](https://agentskills.io/) marketplace that teaches your AI coding agent how to drive the following programmatic RudderStack surfaces with the right preflight checks, commands, and recovery paths:

- [Rudder CLI]({{< ref "dev-tools/rudder-cli/_index.md" >}})
- [RudderStack MCP server]({{< ref "ai-features/rudderstack-mcp/_index.md" >}})
- [Terraform provider](#rudder-terraform)
- [Profiles]({{< ref "profiles/overview/" >}})

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](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#supported-agents). Install them in one command — see [How to Install RudderStack Agent Skills]({{< ref "ai-features/agent-skills/install.md" >}}).

The marketplace is open source at [github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills](https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills) and listed on [skills.sh](https://www.skills.sh/rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills) and [cursor.directory](https://cursor.directory/plugins/rudder-agent-skills).

## Marketplace plugins

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

| Plugin | <div style="width: 350px;">Coverage</div> |
|---|---|
| `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 |

{{< info >}}
Domain knowledge lives in `rudder-core`, so it never duplicates across the tool-specific plugins.
