# Agent skills for AI coding tools

> Manage GPU workloads on Runpod with coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor.

Agent skills make it easier for coding agents to use Runpod directly from your editor or terminal. Once installed, you can ask your agent to create Pods, deploy Serverless endpoints, manage templates, and more, all through natural language.

These skills work with [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/), [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot), [Windsurf](https://codeium.com/windsurf), [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline), and [17+ other AI agents](https://skills.sh/).

## Installation

Install the Runpod skills package in your project:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
npx skills add runpod/skills
```

Restart your agent after installation.

If you plan to use the `runpodctl` skill, you also need to [install the Runpod CLI](/runpodctl/overview) and run the setup command to configure your [API key](/get-started/api-keys) and SSH keys:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
runpodctl doctor
```

## Available skills

The Runpod skills package includes two skills:

| Skill         | Description                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Flash**     | Build and deploy AI workloads using the `runpod-flash` SDK. Write code locally and deploy to remote GPUs/CPUs. |
| **runpodctl** | Manage GPU Pods, Serverless endpoints, templates, network volumes, and models through the Runpod CLI.          |

## What you can do

Once installed, you can ask your AI agent to perform tasks like the following:

| Category          | Example prompt                                    |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Create resources  | "Create a Pod with an RTX 4090"                   |
| List resources    | "List my Pods" or "Show my Serverless endpoints"  |
| GPU availability  | "What GPUs are available?"                        |
| Account info      | "Show my account balance"                         |
| Deploy endpoints  | "Deploy a Serverless endpoint using my template"  |
| Manage Pods       | "Stop my Pod" or "SSH into my Pod"                |
| Deploy with Flash | "Deploy this function to a remote GPU with Flash" |
| Local development | "Start a local dev server with Flash"             |

### Flash skill

The Flash skill lets your agent use the [runpod-flash](/flash/overview) SDK to build and deploy functions to Runpod Serverless. Your agent can generate and deploy code like the following:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
from runpod_flash import Endpoint, GpuGroup

@Endpoint(name="my-worker", gpu=GpuGroup.AMPERE_80, workers=5, dependencies=["torch"])
async def compute(data):
    import torch
    return {"sum": torch.tensor(data, device="cuda").sum().item()}
```

For more details on endpoint types and configuration, see [Create endpoints with Flash](/flash/create-endpoints).

### runpodctl skill

The runpodctl skill gives your agent access to the full [Runpod CLI](/runpodctl/overview) for managing Pods, Serverless endpoints, templates, network volumes, and file transfers.
