What does an Agent Skill install?

It installs local instruction files that a compatible AI editor can read when a task matches. A skill does not execute code, grant permissions, or connect an account.

Do Crontap skills require MCP?

No. Skills teach your editor the steps. MCP lets it make approved changes in your Crontap account on every tier. The raw REST API option requires Ultra credentials.

Which agents can install these skills?

The skills CLI detects supported agents and puts skills in their expected folders. Run npx skills add --help for the current compatibility list.

Which MCP clients has Crontap verified?

Crontap has verified live account access for Cursor, Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, VS Code, Devin Local, and Gemini CLI. Other MCP clients have a separate generic setup that is not verified by Crontap.

Should I install skills globally or in a project?

Start project-local so the guidance travels with the relevant codebase and stays scoped to that work. Use --global only when you intentionally want the same skills across projects.

How do I update or remove a skill?

Run npx skills update to update installed skills, or npx skills remove to choose skills to remove. Add --global only when you want to manage the global install.

Can I inspect a skill before installing it?

Yes. Every catalogue card links to its SKILL.md on GitHub, where you can read the same instructions the CLI installs.

Crontap Agent Skills

Install Crontap skills in your AI editor.

Skills are plain instruction files your editor reads when a task matches. MCP is the live connection to your Crontap account. They work best together.

Built for your project

Put repeatable steps next to the code.

Your editor can load the right instructions without guessing how this project schedules or monitors work.

Keep it with the project: A project install gives your editor the right instructions for the code you are working on.
Open it whenever you want: Each skill is plain Markdown, so you can review the steps and examples before using them.
