# How To Use Agent Skills

To use with popular AI Agents like Codex, Claude, and Cursor the process is very simple.

First download or copy the TRM Agent skills .md file [here](/assets/skills/trm-api-agent-skill.md).

Open the AI Agent of your choice and navigate to customize using the appropriate steps below:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Steps to Add Agent Skills in Claude:">
    * **Claude Desktop/Web (User Interface):**
      * Navigate to **Customize > Skills**.
      * Click the "+" button and **Upload a skill** (as a ZIP file containing the `SKILL.md`) or define it directly.
    * **VS Code Extension:**
      * Open the Chat view, click the gear icon (**Configure Chat**), and select the **Skills** tab.
      * Create a **New Skill (Workspace)** or **New Skill (User)**, then fill in the required `SKILL.md` structure.
    * **Claude Code/API (Filesystem):**
      * Create a directory for your skill in `~/.claude/skills/` (e.g., `~/.claude/skills/your-skill/`).
      * Add a `SKILL.md` file inside that directory.
      * Enable the skill by including "Skill" in your `allowed_tools` configuration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Steps to Add Agent Skills in Codex:">
    * **Method 1: Using the Skill Creator (Recommended)**
      1. Type `/$skill-creator` in the Codex chat.
      2. Describe the skill's function and when to trigger it.
      3. The agent will guide you through creating the required `SKILL.md` file.
    * **Method 2: Manual Creation**
      1. Create a folder named `.agents/skills` in your project root or `~/.agents/skills` for global access.
      2. Create a subdirectory for the new skill (e.g., `.agents/skills/my-skill`).
      3. Create a `SKILL.md` file within that subdirectory.
      4. Add YAML frontmatter with the `name` and `description`, followed by instructions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Steps to Add Agent Skills in Cursor:">
    * **Setup:** Create a directory structure: `.cursor/skills/your-skill-name/` and place a `skill.md` file inside.
    * **Enable Feature:** Go to **Cursor Settings** > **Beta** and set updates to **Nightly** to ensure skill support is active.
    * **Define Skill:** Within `skill.md`, define the skill's purpose and instructions for the agent to follow.
    * **Activation:** The Agent automatically uses relevant skills, or you can invoke them manually by typing `/` followed by the skill name in the Agent chat (`Cmd+I` or `Ctrl+I`).
    * **Alternative:** Use the command `/create-skill` in the chat to have Cursor guide you through the process.

    **Other Skill Locations:**\
    Cursor also detects skills in `.cursor/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, and `~/.cursor/skills/` (global).
