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 with the Skills CLI

The Skills CLI installs the skills into any supported agent:

bash
# 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:

bash
npx skills update

Install from the Claude Code plugin marketplace

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

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

Use the non-interactive form in scripts:

bash
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:

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