# 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:

```bash
verda skills install
```

Install for a specific agent directly:

```bash
verda skills install claude-code
```

Force reinstall even if already installed:

```bash
verda skills install --force
```

***

#### Check status

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

```bash
verda skills status
```

For structured output:

```bash
verda skills status -o json
```

***

#### Uninstall skills

Remove skills from specific agents:

```bash
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.
