Skills & onboard

These commands help you wire APIContext workflows into an AI coding agent.

skills install

Install APIContext skills into an agent skills directory. Specify exactly one target.

apimetrics skills install [--claude-skills | --claude-code | --codex | -d dir]

Flag	Description
--claude-skills	Install eight operational Claude Code Skills into .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
--claude-code	Install the setup skills into .claude/commands/ as slash commands and write .claude/agents.md
--codex	Install into .codex/skills/
-d, --dir string	Install into a custom directory path

# Install the operational Claude Code Skills
apimetrics skills install --claude-skills

# Install as Claude Code slash commands (+ .claude/agents.md)
apimetrics skills install --claude-code

# Install as Codex skills
apimetrics skills install --codex

# Install into a custom directory
apimetrics skills install --dir ./custom

Claude Code Skills

--claude-skills installs these workflows, one directory per skill:

Skill	Use it to
apimetrics-project-bootstrap	Set up monitoring for a new service
apimetrics-weekly-health-review	Produce a reliability report for the last seven days
apimetrics-failure-investigation	Find the root cause of a failing result or series of results
apimetrics-incident-triage	Assess blast radius and common cause across many monitors
apimetrics-monitoring-estate-audit	Review coverage and hygiene across your monitors
apimetrics-slo-review	Review SLO design and attainment
apimetrics-config-as-code	Make reviewed bulk edits with a rollback path (see Bulk)
apimetrics-performance-analytics	Analyze latency percentiles, component timing, and DNS drift

caution

The project-bootstrap and config-as-code skills change your configuration. They are designed to require explicit intent, a snapshot before the change, and a stated rollback path.

Other agents

The same workflows are described in an AGENTS.md file in the CLI repository, which tools such as OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI read.

onboard

Print all embedded APIContext skill workflows to stdout. Run it and include the output in your agent's context to onboard it on the correct CLI workflows.

Note: onboard is a top-level command (apimetrics onboard), not a subcommand of skills.

apimetrics onboard

# Pipe the embedded workflows into your agent's context
apimetrics onboard > apimetrics-skills.md
