Public Netlify skills for AI coding agents. Each skill is a focused, factual reference for a Netlify platform primitive — designed to help agents build correctly on Netlify without needing to search docs.

Some skills include references/ subdirectories with deeper content:

• User-uploaded images pipeline — composing Functions + Blobs + Image CDN
• Vite on Netlify
• Astro on Netlify
• TanStack Start on Netlify
• Next.js on Netlify
• Advanced identity patterns — external providers, role-based access, server-side validation
• CLI commands reference
• Deployment patterns
• netlify.toml guide

Install the Netlify plugin from the Codex plugin directory in the Codex desktop app.

The plugin lets Codex deploy to Netlify without leaving your coding workflow. You can create projects, generate preview URLs, deploy to production, validate build configuration, and inspect deploy status and logs. For full details, refer to Deploy from Codex with the Netlify Plugin.

Copy the pre-built codex/ directory into your project root:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git /tmp/netlify-skills && \
  cp -r /tmp/netlify-skills/codex . && \
  rm -rf /tmp/netlify-skills

This gives you codex/AGENTS.md (the skill router) and codex/skills/ with all Netlify skills. Codex discovers AGENTS.md automatically and activates skills by name using $skill-name syntax.

Add the marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add netlify/context-and-tools
/plugin install netlify-skills@netlify-context-and-tools

This installs all Netlify skills into Claude Code. The included skills/CLAUDE.md acts as a router — it tells the agent which skill to read based on what you're building.

Install from the Cursor plugin marketplace:

1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,)
2. Go to Plugins
3. Search for netlify-skills
4. Click Install

Or install via the command palette: Cmd+Shift+P → Plugins: Install Plugin → search netlify-skills.

This installs 21 .mdc rule files covering all Netlify platform primitives. A router rule (netlify-skills-router.mdc) is always active and directs the agent to the right skill for the task.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git /tmp/netlify-skills && \
  mkdir -p .cursor/rules && \
  cp /tmp/netlify-skills/cursor/rules/*.mdc .cursor/rules/ && \
  rm -rf /tmp/netlify-skills

Each SKILL.md file is a self-contained reference with YAML frontmatter (name and description) and markdown body. Feed them into any agent's context as needed.

• Factual, not opinionated — platform behavior and API reference, not workflow preferences
• Composable — skills cover individual primitives; agents combine them as needed
• Concise — each SKILL.md stays under 500 lines; detailed content goes in references/
• Current — covers modern Netlify patterns (v2 functions, Vite plugin, AI Gateway)

Keep skills focused on Netlify platform primitives. Each skill should answer "how does this Netlify feature work?" rather than "how should I structure my project?"

Follow the existing format: YAML frontmatter with name and description, markdown body, code examples with TypeScript where applicable. Use references/ subdirectories for content that would push a SKILL.md past 500 lines.

The cursor/rules/ and codex/ directories are auto-generated from skills/ by GitHub Actions workflows. Always edit the source files in skills/ — the workflows rebuild on every push to main that changes skills/. To test locally:

bash scripts/build-cursor-rules.sh
bash scripts/build-codex-skills.sh
