Skills

List, install, and manage playbooks that teach an AI agent which tool to use, bundled with the Zenrows CLI.

A skill is a short, agent-readable playbook. Install one and an AI agent knows when and how to use a Zenrows tool, no extra prompting needed.

zenrows skill list
zenrows skill install --all

Command	Does
zenrows skill list	List all skills, installed or not
zenrows skill install <name>	Install a skill
zenrows skill install --all	Install every skill
zenrows skill explain <name>	Show a skill’s full docs
zenrows skill validate <name>	Check an installed skill is well-formed
zenrows skill generate --from-run <run-id>	Scaffold a new skill from a past run
zenrows skill update [name]	Refresh installed skill(s)
zenrows skill remove <name>	Remove an installed skill

​

Install without the CLI

The skills are published in the open-source ZenRows/cli repository, so any agent that supports the open skills format can install them directly:

npx skills add ZenRows/cli
