Public Netlify skills for AI coding agents. Each skill is a focused, factual reference for a Netlify platform primitive — designed to help agents build correctly on Netlify without needing to search docs.
Public Netlify skills for AI coding agents. Each skill is a focused, factual reference for a Netlify platform primitive — designed to help agents build correctly on Netlify without needing to search docs.
| Skill | What it covers |
|---|---|
| netlify-functions | Serverless functions — modern syntax, routing, background/scheduled/streaming |
| netlify-edge-functions | Edge compute — Deno runtime, middleware, geolocation |
| netlify-blobs | Object storage — key-value and binary data |
| netlify-database | Managed Postgres (Neon) with Drizzle ORM and migrations |
| netlify-image-cdn | Image transformation and optimization via CDN |
| netlify-forms | HTML form handling, AJAX submissions, spam filtering |
| netlify-config | netlify.toml — redirects, headers, build settings, deploy contexts, environment variables |
| netlify-frameworks | Framework adapters for Vite, Astro, TanStack, and Next.js |
| netlify-caching | CDN cache control, cache tags, purge, stale-while-revalidate |
| netlify-ai-gateway | AI Gateway proxy for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google SDKs |
| netlify-identity | User authentication — signups, logins, OAuth, role-based access control |
| netlify-deploy | CLI install/auth, site linking, Git-based and manual deploys, CI deploys, deploy troubleshooting |
Some skills include references/ subdirectories with deeper content:
Install the Netlify plugin from the Codex plugin directory in the Codex desktop app.
The plugin lets Codex deploy to Netlify without leaving your coding workflow. You can create projects, generate preview URLs, deploy to production, validate build configuration, and inspect deploy status and logs. For full details, refer to Deploy from Codex with the Netlify Plugin.
Copy the pre-built codex/ directory into your project root:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git /tmp/netlify-skills && \
cp -r /tmp/netlify-skills/codex . && \
rm -rf /tmp/netlify-skills
This gives you codex/AGENTS.md (the skill router) and codex/skills/ with all Netlify skills. Codex discovers AGENTS.md automatically and activates skills by name using $skill-name syntax.
Copy the pre-built codex/ directory into your project root, then point Copilot CLI at it:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git /tmp/netlify-skills && \
cp -r /tmp/netlify-skills/codex . && \
rm -rf /tmp/netlify-skills
export COPILOT_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS="$PWD/codex"
Copilot CLI reads AGENTS.md from any directory listed in COPILOT_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS and uses it as a router into the skill files under codex/skills/. Add the export to your shell profile to persist across sessions.
Add the marketplace and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add netlify/context-and-tools
/plugin install netlify-skills@netlify-context-and-tools
This installs all Netlify skills into Claude Code. The included skills/CLAUDE.md acts as a router — it tells the agent which skill to read based on what you're building.
VS Code's agent plugins use the same plugin format as Claude Code, so VS Code installs the skills directly from this repository — no separate build step or generated output. VS Code auto-detects the plugin from .claude-plugin/plugin.json and loads the skills/ directory and the bundled Netlify MCP server (.mcp.json).
Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install:
netlify/context-and-tools to the chat.plugins.marketplaces setting.@agentPlugins, find netlify-skills, and click Install.Or install directly from source via the command palette: Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → Chat: Install Plugin From Source → enter https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git.
Install from the Cursor plugin marketplace:
Cmd+, / Ctrl+,)Or install via the command palette: Cmd+Shift+P → Plugins: Install Plugin → search netlify-skills.
This installs 21 .mdc rule files covering all Netlify platform primitives. A router rule (netlify-skills-router.mdc) is always active and directs the agent to the right skill for the task.
Copy pre-built rule files directly into your project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.git /tmp/netlify-skills && \
mkdir -p .cursor/rules && \
cp /tmp/netlify-skills/cursor/rules/*.mdc .cursor/rules/ && \
rm -rf /tmp/netlify-skills
This copies .mdc rule files into .cursor/rules/, where Cursor automatically discovers them.
Netlify is listed in the official xAI plugin marketplace. In Grok Build, open the extensions modal (/plugins) and use the Marketplace tab to find and install netlify.
Grok Build uses the same plugin format as Claude Code, so it installs all Netlify skills directly from this repository — no separate build step or generated output. Marketplace sources live in ~/.grok/config.toml under [[marketplace.sources]]; if the xAI marketplace isn't already configured, add it there. See the xAI Skills, Plugins & Marketplaces docs for details.
The Claude Code, VS Code, and Grok Build plugins (and the Gemini CLI extension) also register the official Netlify MCP server, giving the agent tools to create and manage Netlify projects, deploys, and environment variables — not just the reference skills.
It connects to Netlify's hosted server over HTTP (https://netlify-mcp.netlify.app/mcp) and authorizes via OAuth on first use — no token or local install required. The rules-based integrations (Cursor, Codex, Copilot) don't bundle the MCP server — add it to those clients manually using the Netlify MCP docs.
Each SKILL.md file is a self-contained reference with YAML frontmatter (name and description) and markdown body. Feed them into any agent's context as needed.
references/See CONTRIBUTING.md for commit/PR title conventions and how releases are cut.
Keep skills focused on Netlify platform primitives. Each skill should answer "how does this Netlify feature work?" rather than "how should I structure my project?"
Follow the existing format: YAML frontmatter with name and description, markdown body, code examples with TypeScript where applicable. Use references/ subdirectories for content that would push a SKILL.md past 500 lines.
The cursor/rules/ and codex/ directories are auto-generated from skills/ by a GitHub Actions workflow. Always edit the source files in skills/. On same-repo PRs and on every push to main that changes skills/, the workflow rebuilds the mirrors and commits them alongside your change — you don't need to run the build yourself. (Fork PRs can't be committed to automatically; include the regenerated output in your PR, or a maintainer will regenerate it.) To preview locally:
