# Skills

An agent skill is a folder with a `SKILL.md` file. It teaches a coding agent one task. The agent loads a skill when the task matches the skill description. The skills for the exchange are in the [liquid-inference-guide](https://github.com/architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide/tree/main/skills) repository.

The list below comes from that repository. When the repository gets a new skill, the new skill appears on this page with no change to the docs.

## Install

With `npx skills`, which needs Node:

```bash
# every skill, for your user, for every agent it finds
npx skills add architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide --skill '*' --global --yes

# one skill, for one agent
npx skills add architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide --skill liquid-quickstart --agent claude-code

# list the skills with no install
npx skills add architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide --list
```

Leave out `--global` to install into the current project. Add `--copy` to copy the files and not link them.

With the GitHub CLI (`gh skill` is in preview):

```bash
# every skill, into the current project
gh skill install architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide --all

# one skill
gh skill install architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide liquid-quickstart
```

Without either tool, copy the folders by hand. Copy the whole folder of a skill, because the modality skills have a `scripts/` folder. Those scripts need Node 22 or later.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/architect-xyz/liquid-inference-guide
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R liquid-inference-guide/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
```

Use the skills folder of your agent in place of `~/.claude/skills`. Start a new agent session after you install.

Every skill reads the key from `LIQUID_API_KEY`. To check an install, ask your agent: "How do I send a first request to Liquid Inference?"
