Agent Skills

Arkiv’s official agent skills work inside your AI coding assistant. They help you build faster.

Each skill gives your agent knowledge of Arkiv: the SDK, common patterns, and the wider Arkiv ecosystem. You do not need to copy text from the docs into the chat.

What a Skill Is

Section titled “What a Skill Is”

A skill is a set of instructions and domain knowledge. You install it into your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot, and others). After you install a skill, your agent uses it when you ask about a related topic.

Skills follow the Anthropic Agent Skills spec. This spec works across runtimes.

Available skills

Section titled “Available skills”

Arkiv publishes its skills in a single repository: Arkiv-Network/skills.

arkiv-best-practices

Section titled “arkiv-best-practices”

This skill teaches your agent how to build on Arkiv:

  • How the Arkiv SDK works (clients, queries, mutations, events)
  • Best practices (project attributes, security, data modeling, error handling)
  • Integration patterns (backend, React, wagmi)
  • Common pitfalls and how to prevent them
Terminal window
# npm
npx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-best-practices


# pnpm
pnpm dlx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-best-practices


# bun
bunx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-best-practices

arkiv-feedback

Section titled “arkiv-feedback”

This skill walks you through reporting a bug or sharing a feature idea. You do not need to leave your editor.

The skill mirrors the official issue forms on Arkiv-Network/reported-issues. It asks the right questions. Then it submits the issue for you with the GitHub CLI.

If gh is not installed, the skill saves a draft to disk. It also shows you the form in your browser.

Terminal window
# npm
npx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-feedback


# pnpm
pnpm dlx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-feedback


# bun
bunx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --skill arkiv-feedback

Install everything at once

Section titled “Install everything at once”
Terminal window
# npm
npx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --all


# pnpm
pnpm dlx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --all


# bun
bunx skills add https://github.com/Arkiv-Network/skills --all

Pass -g (or --global) to install the skill at the user level instead of the current project. See npx skills --help for the full set of flags. The pnpm dlx and bunx commands work the same way.

Example prompts

Section titled “Example prompts”

Install the skills first. Open your AI agent. Try prompts such as these:

  • “Build a feature that lets users create and list posts stored on Arkiv”
  • “Audit my project. Am I following Arkiv best practices?”
  • “Set up a React hook that reads Arkiv entities with TanStack Query”
  • “I hit a bug. Help me file it on the Arkiv reported-issues repo”
