Cloud agents

A cloud agent starts in a fresh container with a clone of your repo and nothing else. With skilless cloud, one command gives it the skills you added to that project, plus your global skills.

Create a token

Create a token in your settings and add it to the agent's environment as SKILLESS_TOKEN. Treat it like a password: anyone with it can read your library.

Install in the setup step

Add this to the environment's setup script:

npx skilless install

skilless works out the project from the repository's remote, then installs every skill added to it and your global skills at the user level. There's no library in a fresh container, so it writes real files rather than links.

Claude Code on the web

For Claude Code, the skilless plugin runs skilless install at the start of every cloud session, in any repo, so you don't need a setup script per repository. Add the marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add ieedan/skilless
/plugin install skilless@skilless

The plugin only runs in cloud sessions. On your own machine, your skills are already linked from your library. If SKILLESS_TOKEN isn't set, it skips the install and the session carries on without skills.
