Agent Skills

Coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Grok, and others) can scaffold kdeps projects for you when you install the kdeps skill.

Install the skill

Skills CLI:

npx skills add https://github.com/kdeps/skill --skill kdeps

Git clone + symlink:

git clone https://github.com/kdeps/skill ~/src/kdeps-skill
ln -sf ~/src/kdeps-skill/skills/kdeps ~/.claude/skills/kdeps

Both methods install the same skill from skills/kdeps/. Use ~/.cursor/skills/kdeps or ~/.grok/skills/kdeps for other agents. Add -y -g to the npx command to skip prompts and install globally.

The skill activates when you ask the agent to build a kdeps workflow, component, or agency.

What it covers

• Choosing between a component, workflow (agent), or agency
• All 15 primary resource actions plus apiResponse
• Workflow input (api, bot, file), webServer, session, and kdeps serve
• Expressions, validation, and error handling
• Registry-ready packaging — every scaffold includes kdeps.pkg.yaml for kdeps.io distribution

Publishing to kdeps.io

Projects the skill creates are distributable by default:

kdeps validate .
kdeps registry verify .
kdeps bundle package .
git tag v1.0.0 && git push --tags
kdeps registry submit --tag v1.0.0
# Open a PR to https://github.com/kdeps/registry with the printed formula

See the skill's registry reference for the full publish checklist.

Skill vs registry packages

	kdeps skill	Your kdeps project
What it is	Instructions for coding agents	Runnable workflow / component / agency
Install	npx skills add https://github.com/kdeps/skill --skill kdeps	kdeps registry install <name>
Manifest	skills/kdeps/SKILL.md	kdeps.pkg.yaml

The skill teaches agents how to write YAML that installs from kdeps.io. It is not itself a registry package.
