CoreWeave Skills are in public preview. The skills available and their behavior may change while the collection is in preview. To report a problem with a skill or request a new one, open an issue in the [coreweave/skills](https://github.com/coreweave/skills) repository or [contact support](/support/contact). CoreWeave Skills are [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io), an open format for packaging the instructions an AI coding agent needs to carry out a task. Each skill is a guided workflow for one CoreWeave operation: it covers the prerequisites, the commands to run, and the checks that confirm the result. You install the skills once, then describe what you want in plain language. Your agent selects the skill that matches your request and runs it. Skills are content, not a hosted CoreWeave service. Each one is a directory of Markdown instructions, and sometimes supporting scripts and reference files, that stays inert until your own coding agent loads it. From that point on, the agent runs on your machine with the tools and credentials you have given it. Any CoreWeave resources it creates or changes belong to your organization and bill to your account. ## Prerequisites Before you install the skills, make sure you have the following: * [Claude Code](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) or another agent that supports Agent Skills. CoreWeave publishes and tests the skills for Claude Code, and the install steps on this page use Claude Code's plugin marketplace. Other agents that read the format, such as Cursor and Codex, can load the same skill files, but CoreWeave does not document or test those install paths. * A CoreWeave account. Individual skills have their own requirements, such as a CoreWeave API token, `kubectl`, Terraform, a Hugging Face account, or available quota. Skills that provision or change resources check their prerequisites before they start and report anything that is missing. ## Install the skills The [coreweave/skills](https://github.com/coreweave/skills) repository is the only official distribution channel for CoreWeave Skills. Claude Code installs them from a plugin marketplace served directly from the repository, so you don't need to clone it. CoreWeave does not publish these skills through third-party marketplaces or skill directories. Treat forks, modified copies, and any other source as untrusted until you have reviewed them. 1. Add the CoreWeave marketplace. You do this once per machine. ```text theme={"system"} /plugin marketplace add coreweave/skills ``` 2. Install each plugin you want, replacing `[PLUGIN]` with a plugin name. CoreWeave recommends `coreweave-platform-skills` alongside the plugins for the product lines you use. ```text theme={"system"} /plugin install [PLUGIN]@coreweave-skills ``` 3. Load the new skills into your current session. ```text theme={"system"} /reload-plugins ``` The skills in the plugins you installed are now available in your session, and you can start one by describing what you want in plain language. For the full install and upgrade procedure, including how to trigger a skill by name, see the [coreweave/skills README](https://github.com/coreweave/skills#install-the-skills). ## Find the available skills Skills are grouped into plugins: one plugin of cross-cutting platform skills, plus one plugin per CoreWeave product line, so that you install only the skills your sessions require. For the plugins available and the skills in each, see [What's available](https://github.com/coreweave/skills#whats-available) in the repository. The collection changes over time. CoreWeave adds skills, revises existing ones, and withdraws skills that a newer workflow replaces. Each plugin is versioned and released independently and has its own changelog. For what changed and when, see the [releases](https://github.com/coreweave/skills/releases) in the repository. To list the skills you have installed, ask your agent which CoreWeave skills are available. ## Run skills safely A skill's prompts, checkpoints, and verification steps are guidance, not technical access controls. The agent acts with whatever permissions you have given it. The decisions that keep a session safe are yours: which credentials the agent can reach, which account and region it acts on, and which actions you approve. Before you load or run a skill, take the following precautions: * Read the skill's `SKILL.md` file, which holds its instructions, and review any scripts it uses. * Use the least-privileged credentials available. * Prefer a non-production account or organization. * Check the expected costs of anything the skill provisions. Prompt injection can also affect skills and other content an agent processes.
