Skills¶

Skills are AI agent instruction files that teach coding agents how to use the Verda CLI for cloud infrastructure management. They are bundled with the CLI binary — no network fetch needed — and versioned with the CLI, so updating the CLI updates skills automatically.

Supported agents¶

Agent	Scope
Claude Code	Global (`~/.claude/skills/`)
Cursor	Project (`.cursor/rules/`)
Windsurf	Project (`.windsurf/rules/`)
Codex	Global (`~/.agents/skills/verda-cloud/`)
Gemini CLI	Global (`~/.gemini/skills/verda-cloud/`)
Copilot	Project (`.github/copilot-instructions.md`)

Install skills¶

Without arguments, the CLI shows an interactive picker to select agents:

verda skills install

Install for a specific agent directly:

verda skills install claude-code

Force reinstall even if already installed:

verda skills install --force

Check status¶

View installed version, which agents have skills, and whether an update is available:

verda skills status

For structured output:

verda skills status -o json

Uninstall skills¶

Remove skills from specific agents:

verda skills uninstall claude-code

Without arguments, the CLI shows a picker of currently installed agents.

Custom agents¶

You can add custom agent configurations via ~/.verda/agents.json. This lets you install skills for agents not included in the default list.
