skills on inference.sh follow the agent skills open standard. this means skills you create here work with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any tool that supports the spec.
the skill URL
every skill has a stable content URL:
1https://api.inference.sh/skills/{namespace}/{name}/contentthis URL serves the skill's SKILL.md content (frontmatter + instructions). it can be used directly in any agent config that accepts a URL for context or instructions.
supporting files are available at:
1https://api.inference.sh/skills/{namespace}/{name}/files/{path}for example: .../files/references/api-docs.md, .../files/scripts/helper.py
Claude Code
Claude Code discovers skills from the local filesystem. to use an inference.sh skill:
manual install
download the skill files and place them in Claude Code's skills directory:
1~/.claude/skills/{skill-name}/2├── SKILL.md3├── references/4│ └── api-docs.md5└── scripts/6 └── helper.pythe download endpoint provides a manifest of all files with their URLs:
1GET https://api.inference.sh/skills/{namespace}/{name}/downloadreturns:
1{2 "name": "code-review",3 "namespace": "inferencesh",4 "version": "1.0.0",5 "files": [6 { "path": "SKILL.md", "uri": "https://cdn.inference.sh/..." },7 { "path": "references/checklist.md", "uri": "https://cdn.inference.sh/..." }8 ]9}download each file from its uri and write to the corresponding path under ~/.claude/skills/{name}/.
belt CLI (coming soon)
1belt add inferencesh/code-reviewone command — downloads all files and writes the skill directory. no account needed.
Cursor, Windsurf, and others
any agent that supports the agent skills standard can use inference.sh skills. the approach is the same:
- get the skill files via the download endpoint or skill URL
- place them where the agent expects to find skills
- the agent discovers and uses them like any other skill
check your agent's documentation for where skills are stored and how they're discovered.
URL-based usage
some agents support loading skills directly from a URL rather than the filesystem. in that case, point to the content URL:
1https://api.inference.sh/skills/{namespace}/{name}/contentthis returns the full SKILL.md content — frontmatter + instructions — ready for the agent to parse.
the roundtrip guarantee
skills created on inference.sh produce the exact same SKILL.md format as the open standard. a skill created in the web editor and installed locally is indistinguishable from one written by hand:
- same YAML frontmatter with
name,description,allowed-tools,license,compatibility - same markdown body
- same directory structure (
references/,scripts/,examples/,templates/)
this is by design — inference.sh is a creation and hosting platform, not a proprietary format.
