Agent Skills

Updated Nov 1, 2026

Textlane ships an Agent Skill that tells coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex which package each language uses and what the API offers today. Once installed, your agent knows not to invent pipeline calls that are not shipped yet.

Install from the website

textlane.dev publishes its skills under /.well-known/agent-skills/, so the skills CLI can install them from the site URL. Run this at your project root:

npx skills add https://textlane.dev

To skip the prompts, pass the skill and your agent as flags:

npx skills add https://textlane.dev --skill textlane-usage --agent claude-code

Add --global to install for your user instead of the project. Run npx skills update later to pull newer versions.

Install from the package

The skill also ships inside the wheel, installed to share/textlane/skills under your environment's data directory. Installing it from there keeps it matched to the textlane version you have, while the website always serves the latest release:

npx skills add "$(python -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('data'))")/share/textlane/skills"

Use it

You don't need to invoke the skill yourself. Agents read its description and load it when a task matches, such as adding textlane to a project. If your agent supports invoking skills by name, you can also call it directly, as with /textlane-usage in Claude Code.
