Skills

Skills are instruction packages that teach AI coding agents how to work with Oblien workspaces. Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file - a plain-text, agent-readable reference following the AgentSkills open standard.

Drop a skill into your agent's context directory and it gets structured knowledge of the Oblien platform - creating workspaces, configuring networking, managing files, executing commands, and more - without browsing docs or guessing endpoints.

Skills follow the AgentSkills standard - the open format supported by Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Goose, JetBrains AI, and others. Any agent that reads markdown can consume Oblien skills.

How it works

┌─ Your project ──────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                      │
│  .claude/skills/oblien-runtime/SKILL.md              │
│  .cursor/skills/oblien-runtime/SKILL.md              │
│  skills/oblien-runtime/SKILL.md          (OpenClaw)  │
│                                                      │
│  Agent reads SKILL.md → calls Oblien APIs → result   │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Install a skill - the SKILL.md goes into your agent's skills directory
The agent reads the frontmatter at startup (name + description, ~100 tokens)
When relevant, the agent loads the full body to learn endpoints, auth, parameters, and examples
The agent calls Oblien APIs using that knowledge
