# Agora skills (/en/realtime-media/on-premise-recording/skills)

> For AI agents: see the complete documentation index at [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

Agora skills are a set of structured reference files that give AI coding assistants deep knowledge of Agora's platform. When you ask your assistant to build something with Agora, it loads the relevant skill files covering products, APIs, and platform-specific code examples, so it can generate working code without guessing.

Skills include the [Agora MCP server](./mcp.mdx), which gives your assistant access to live Agora documentation. For installation instructions and supported tools, see the [Agora Skills repository](https://github.com/AgoraIO/skills).

## Installation [#installation]

```bash
npx skills add github:AgoraIO/skills
```

Skills activate automatically when your agent detects relevant tasks, for example, "build a voice agent", "integrate Agora RTC", or "generate a token".

## Manual installation [#manual-installation]

Clone the repository once and point your AI coding assistant to the skill files directly.

1. Clone the [Agora Skills repo](https://github.com/AgoraIO/skills.git):

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/AgoraIO/skills.git ~/agora-skills
   ```

2. Point your AI assistant to `skills/agora/`.

Follow the instructions for your AI coding assistant:
