Skills
Sliprail provides three skills in the open Agent Skills format. A skill tells an agent how to write one kind of Sliprail package, and agents load it only when the task needs it.
| Skill | Use it for |
|---|---|
| sliprail-app | Apps: layout, languages, light and dark mode, cloud data, sharing and AI |
| sliprail-extension | Extensions: launcher commands, settings, lists and windows |
| sliprail-theme | Themes: the colors of the launcher and the style of each of its parts |
Each skill also explains how to try the package and how to publish it with Sliprail MCP.
Use the Skills Through MCP
Agents connected to Sliprail MCP can read the skills directly from the server, so installing them is optional.
Install the Skills
Download all three skills and extract them into the skills directory of your agent. On macOS and Linux, for Codex:
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && curl -fsSL https://sliprail.com/_api/sliprail/agent-skills-archive | tar -xzf - -C ~/.agents/skills
In Windows PowerShell:
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME\.agents\skills" | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri https://sliprail.com/_api/sliprail/agent-skills-archive -OutFile "$env:TEMP\sliprail-skills.tgz"
tar.exe -xzf "$env:TEMP\sliprail-skills.tgz" -C "$HOME\.agents\skills"
For Claude Code, extract them into ~/.claude/skills instead. To share them with everyone who works in a repository, extract them into .agents/skills at the root of the repository.
Run the commands again to update the skills. If you installed sliprail-instant-app before, delete that directory, since sliprail-app replaces it.
Try Extensions and Themes Locally
Before publishing, the agent can load an extension or theme into the Sliprail desktop app running on the same computer. Sliprail asks you to confirm first, and the agent can then reload it after each change so you see the result right away.
