# Agent skills

Taskaid's agent skills are short sets of principles for any assistant that works in your Taskaid through the [MCP server](/docs/mcp). The server gives an assistant its tools; a skill describes how to use them well. They are written in the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) format, so any assistant that supports skills can load them, and they need Taskaid connected to work.

## Install

```bash
npx skills add https://taskaid.ai
```

The command finds Taskaid's skills through its skills index and lets you choose which to install, and for which of your assistants.

## Where they work

- **Coding agents.** Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and the other agents the skills CLI supports.
- **ChatGPT.** Skills load in the desktop app. The web and mobile apps load skills only from plugins, so for now Taskaid's skills reach ChatGPT through the desktop app alone.

## Read them

The [skills index](/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) lists every Taskaid skill, each with a link to its `SKILL.md`.
