Installing Skills

How to install a skill

Skills are installed directly into your AI assistant's context. There's no software to download — just copy the instructions and your AI does the rest.

Automatic installation (recommended)

If your AI agent can browse the web and follow instructions:

1. Go to the skill page on AiNouns
2. Click the Install button
3. Copy the installation prompt that appears
4. Paste it into your AI agent and send

Your agent will:

• Fetch the skill's SKILL.md from the AiNouns CDN
• Parse the instructions and metadata
• Configure the skill in your conversation
• Confirm when it's ready to use

Manual installation

For direct AI chats (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.):

1. Open your AI assistant in a new conversation
2. Paste this prompt:

Please install the skill from this URL: https://ainouns.com/skills/[skill-slug]

1. Your AI will fetch and configure the skill automatically

Verify it worked

After installation, ask your AI:

What skills do you have installed?

It should list the skill and describe what it can do. Try a test command from the skill's examples to confirm it's working.

Need help?

If installation fails, check:

• Your AI has internet access (it needs to fetch the skill)
• You're using a compatible model (check the skill page)
• The skill hasn't been removed or updated to a new URL
