Add RudderStack Agent Skills to your AI coding agent with the Skills CLI or a native plugin marketplace without cloning or any local setup.

Prerequisites

Install Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, OpenCode, or another supported agent.

Install with the Skills CLI

The Skills CLI installs the skills into any supported agent:

# Interactive: pick skills and your agent
npx skills add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills

# List available skills first
npx skills add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills --list

# Install everything globally
npx skills add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills -g --all

# Target a specific agent and skill
npx skills add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills -a claude-code --skill rudder-cli-workflow

Update installed skills anytime:

npx skills update

Install from the Claude Code plugin marketplace

In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugins you need:

/plugin marketplace add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills
/plugin install rudder-core@rudder-agent-skills

Use the non-interactive form in scripts:

claude plugin marketplace add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills
claude plugin install rudder-core@rudder-agent-skills

Update with /plugin marketplace update rudder-agent-skills.

Install in Cursor

Add the plugin from the cursor.directory listing with Add to Cursor, or use the Skills CLI:

npx skills add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills -a cursor
