# Agent Skills

> Install the Egon agent skills in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents, so they know the API, Batch, the auth, and key safety.

Install the **Egon skills** once, and your coding agent knows where the documentation is, how to authenticate, how to run a batch job, and how to keep your data safe.

Each skill is a single `SKILL.md` file that links to the markdown pages of this site, and `egon-api` also to the OpenAPI schema, so the agent always reads the current documentation.

## The `egon-api` Skill

The `egon-api` skill gives your agent the base URL, the authentication header, the key safety rules, and every service of the Egon API.

## The `egon-batch` Skill

The `egon-batch` skill teaches your agent how Egon Batch works on this site: how to prepare the address file, run the job, and read the output, with links to every Batch page.

## Install with the Skills CLI

Run this in your project. The CLI asks which skills and agents to set up, then copies each skill into the folder each agent reads.

```bash
npx skills add https://documentation.egon.com
```

The CLI finds the skills through `/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`, which every build of this site publishes.

## Install Manually

Copy each `SKILL.md` into a folder named after its skill:

| Agent                                                       | Folder                   |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Claude Code                                                 | `.claude/skills/<name>/` |
| Codex, Cursor, and other agents that read `.agents/skills/` | `.agents/skills/<name>/` |

For Claude Code, run this in your project. For other agents, replace `.claude` with `.agents`.

```bash
mkdir -p .claude/skills/egon-api && curl -fsSLo .claude/skills/egon-api/SKILL.md https://documentation.egon.com/skills/egon-api/SKILL.md
mkdir -p .claude/skills/egon-batch && curl -fsSLo .claude/skills/egon-batch/SKILL.md https://documentation.egon.com/skills/egon-batch/SKILL.md
```

## Check the Setup

Start a new session and ask:

```text
Do you have the egon-api and egon-batch skills? Show the base URL and the authentication header the egon-api skill tells you to use, and the steps the egon-batch skill gives to run a batch job.
```
