  1. CLI Reference
  3. Agent Skills Install

Agent Skills Install

Install (or refresh) the Agent Skills bundled with the Serverless Framework CLI into your service directory. Skills are instruction files that teach AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any agent supporting the open Agent Skills standard — how to work with your service. The command is idempotent: re-running it updates already-installed skills in place.

The set of bundled skills varies by CLI version. On a version that bundles none yet, the command reports No skills are bundled with this CLI version. and installs nothing.

serverless agent skills install

Run it in your service directory (where serverless.yml lives). By default the command detects which agent directories you or your team already use and writes only those; with no signal it creates both .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/. See the Agent Skills guide for the full behavior, automatic updates, and customization.

Options

  • --dir Target directory to install into: claude (.claude/skills/) or agents (.agents/skills/). Repeatable, and accepts a comma-separated list. Omit it to let the command detect the right targets.

Examples

Install into detected agent directories

serverless agent skills install

Install only for Claude Code

serverless agent skills install --dir claude

Install into both directories explicitly

serverless agent skills install --dir claude --dir agents

or equivalently:

serverless agent skills install --dir claude,agents
