Agent Skills
What are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are an open format for extending AI coding assistants with specialized knowledge and workflows. Each skill uses a SKILL.md file containing metadata and instructions that an agent loads when relevant to your request.
For example, when you ask an agent to deploy an application, troubleshoot a service, or optimize resources, it can automatically select the appropriate Pyrite skill.
Supported tools
Pyrite Agent Skills can be installed into compatible AI coding assistants including:
- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex
- Cursor
- OpenCode
- GitHub Copilot
- Other Agent Skills-compatible clients
Installation
Install the Pyrite Cloud skills using the skills CLI:
npx skills add PyriteCloud/agent-skills
The installer detects supported AI agents and installs the skills into the appropriate location.
To update installed skills:
npx skills update
You can also install an individual skill:
npx skills add https://github.com/PyriteCloud/agent-skills --skill pyrite-service-management
Pyrite Cloud Skills
The repository currently includes eight skills:
pyrite-platform-knowledge
Explains Pyrite Cloud concepts, capabilities, resource relationships, service types, environments, deployments, networking, storage, databases, plans, and regions.
pyrite-service-management
Deploys and manages Pyrite services, environments, deployments, domains, networking, databases, storage, scaling, and lifecycle operations.
pyrite-observe-service
Inspects logs, metrics, health, replicas, deployments, regional behavior, and performance without modifying resources.
pyrite-troubleshoot
Diagnoses failed or degraded services, including build failures, crashes, health issues, routing problems, resource pressure, database or storage failures, and deployment regressions.
pyrite-optimize-resources
Helps right-size services and optimize cost, performance, scaling, regional placement, availability, and resource utilization.
pyrite-cli-commands
Generates and explains commands supported by the Pyrite CLI, including installation, authentication, resource lookup, deployment, and Docker workflows.
pyrite-deployment-automation
Creates and reviews deployment automation using pyrite.toml, Terraform, GitHub Actions, the Pyrite CLI, and CI/CD pipelines.
pyrite-migrate
Plans and executes migrations from other platforms to Pyrite Cloud, including workload mapping, databases, volumes, networking, domains, validation, cutover, and rollback.
Workflow Coverage
Together, the Pyrite skills cover:
- Platform knowledge — Understand Pyrite resources, services, environments, regions, plans, and capabilities.
- Deploy and operate — Create, configure, deploy, redeploy, pause, resume, and safely modify services.
- Observability — Inspect logs, metrics, health, deployments, replicas, and service behavior.
- Troubleshooting — Diagnose build, runtime, networking, storage, scaling, and availability problems.
- Optimization — Improve cost, performance, capacity, scaling, and availability.
- CLI — Generate verified Pyrite CLI commands and workflows.
- Automation — Work with
pyrite.toml, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD. - Migration — Move applications and infrastructure to Pyrite Cloud with staged validation and rollback planning.
