# postman — Agent Skill

Work with Postman from your agent: bootstrap a repo's Postman setup, mock an API before it's implemented, run collection and governance checks in CI, monitor a live endpoint, deploy and debug Postman Flows, and publish generated API documentation.

## At a glance

postman is an Agent Skill by postmanlabs in the Automation & Workflow category. In Claude Code it installs with `/plugin install postman@claude-plugins-official` after adding the anthropics/claude-plugins-official marketplace; other assistants use its SKILL.md instructions as rules. Its source repository has 27 GitHub stars (as of Oct 28, 2026).
