netlify skills

Netlify Context and Tools

Public Netlify skills for AI coding agents. Each skill is a focused, factual reference for a Netlify platform primitive — designed to help agents build correctly on Netlify without needing to search docs.

Skills

| Skill | What it covers | |---|---| | netlify-functions | Serverless functions — modern syntax, routing, background/scheduled/streaming | | netlify-edge-functions | Edge compute — Deno runtime, middleware, geolocation | | netlify-blobs | Object storage — key-value and binary data | | netlify-database | Managed Postgres (Neon) with Drizzle ORM and migrations | | netlify-image-cdn | Image transformation and optimization via CDN | | netlify-forms | HTML form handling, AJAX submissions, spam filtering | | netlify-config | netlify.toml — redirects, headers, build settings, deploy contexts, environment variables | | netlify-frameworks | Framework adapters for Vite, Astro, TanStack, and Next.js | | netlify-caching | CDN cache control, cache tags, purge, stale-while-revalidate | | netlify-ai-gateway | AI Gateway proxy for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google SDKs | | netlify-identity | User authentication — signups, logins, OAuth, role-based access control | | netlify-deploy | CLI install/auth, site linking, Git-based and manual deploys, CI deploys, deploy troubleshooting | | netlify-access-control | Protecting sites and previews — password protection, team-only access, visibility defaults, SSO | | netlify-agent-runner | Running Claude, Codex, or Gemini agent tasks remotely against a site's repo | | netlify-mcp-servers | MCP servers on Netlify Functions — transport, authentication, connecting clients |

Installation

One command installs the skills into any project, from the released `@netlify/skills` package:

npx @netlify/skills@latest add --all

It writes the skills into the agent directory already in the project (.claude/, .agents/, or .grok/) and never guesses: with none, or more than one, it asks for --agent.

| Agent | --agent | Skills directory | |---|---|---| | Claude Code | claude-code | .claude/skills/ | | Cursor | cursor | .agents/skills/ | | Codex | codex | .agents/skills/ | | Gemini CLI | gemini-cli | .agents/skills/ | | GitHub Copilot, VS Code | github-copilot | .agents/skills/ | | Grok Build | grok | .grok/skills/ | | Anything else | | --dest <dir> |

Each directory is the project-level skills location in that agent's own docs: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and Grok. Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Copilot all read the shared .agents/skills/. The generated .cursor/rules/ files and the codex/AGENTS.md router under Other ways to install are the older formats for those two agents; they still work, but they are not what add writes.

add netlify-functions installs one skill, check reports what is installed and whether it is current, and update brings it up to date. See Install skills and keep them current.
