# How to Install RudderStack Agent Skills


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](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#supported-agents).

## Install with the Skills CLI

The [Skills CLI](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills) 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](https://cursor.directory/plugins/rudder-agent-skills) with **Add to Cursor**, or use the Skills CLI:

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

## Set up and verify

After installing a plugin, run its setup skill to install tool-specific prerequisites:

| Plugin | Setup skill | What it configures |
|---|---|---|
| `rudder-cli` | `/rudder-cli-setup` | Installs the Rudder CLI binary and authenticates with RudderStack |
| `rudder-mcp` | `/rudder-mcp-setup` | Connects your agent to the RudderStack MCP server |
| `rudder-terraform` | `/rudder-terraform-setup` | Installs Terraform and the RudderStack provider |
| `rudder-profiles` | `/rudder-profiles-setup` | Installs `pb`, configures `profiles-mcp`, and wires editor MCP settings |

Run `/rudder-environment-check` to verify your full setup.
