Skills

The ax skills commands install and remove Arize context skills for AI coding agents. Skills are Markdown files downloaded from Arize-ai/arize-skills that teach agents how to use Arize APIs. Supported agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf.

`ax skills install`

Download skills from GitHub and install them into each agent’s skills directory. Runs interactively by default, with detected agents pre-selected.

ax skills install [--agent <slug>] [--global] [--project-dir <path>] [--yes] [--force]

Option	Description
`--agent`, `-a`	Agent to install for. Can be repeated. Valid values: `claude-code`, `cursor`, `codex`, `windsurf`. Required when using `--yes`.
`--global`, `-g`	Install globally (`~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.cursor/skills/`, etc.) instead of the current project
`--project-dir`, `-d`	Project directory to install into (default: current working directory)
`--yes`, `-y`	Skip confirmations. Requires `--agent`.
`--force`, `-f`	Overwrite existing skills without prompting

By default skills are installed into the current project directory. Use --global to install to your home directory so skills are available in all projects. If a skill already exists and neither --force nor --yes is set, you are prompted to overwrite it. With --yes (but not --force), existing skills are skipped silently. Examples:

# Interactive — detects installed agents, prompts for skill selection
ax skills install

# Install for Claude Code only, interactive skill selection
ax skills install --agent claude-code

# Install for Claude Code and Cursor, skip all prompts, overwrite existing
ax skills install --agent claude-code --agent cursor --yes --force

# Install globally
ax skills install --global --agent claude-code --yes

`ax skills clear`

Remove Arize skills installed by ax skills install. Only removes skill directories whose names start with arize-; user-created skills are not affected.

ax skills clear [--agent <slug>] [--global] [--project-dir <path>] [--yes]

Option	Description
`--agent`, `-a`	Agent to clear skills for. Can be repeated. Valid values: `claude-code`, `cursor`, `codex`, `windsurf`. If omitted, all known agents are scanned.
`--global`, `-g`	Clear from the global install location (`~/.claude/skills/`, etc.)
`--project-dir`, `-d`	Project directory to clear from (default: current working directory)
`--yes`, `-y`	Skip the confirmation prompt

Examples:

# Interactive — shows what will be removed and prompts for confirmation
ax skills clear

# Clear only Claude Code skills from the current project
ax skills clear --agent claude-code

# Clear globally without prompting
ax skills clear --global --yes
