Agent Skill

Speed up development by installing Arkiv’s official agent skill into your AI coding assistant. It gives your agent instant knowledge of the SDK, best practices, and common integration patterns.

What is a Skill?

Section titled “What is a Skill?”

A skill is a set of instructions and domain knowledge that you install into your AI coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, etc.). Once installed, the agent can reference it automatically whenever you ask about the relevant topic — no copy-pasting docs into the chat.

The Arkiv Skill

Section titled “The Arkiv Skill”

Arkiv publishes an official skill called arkiv-best-practices. It teaches your agent:

  • 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 avoid them

Install it in your project:

Terminal window
npx skills add https://github.com/arkiv-network/skills --skill arkiv-best-practices

What to Try

Section titled “What to Try”

Once installed, open your AI agent and try prompts like:

  • “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”
