crewAI, CLI and more.
---------------------

## Overview

[Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/what-are-skills) are pre-built instructions that tell an agent how to perform a specific task. Skills can also bundle scripts, templates, and reference materials.
Think of it as a complex, structured and highly repeatable prompt that tells an Agent to do a specific thing in a specific way.

Skills follow a [standard specification](https://agentskills.io/specification) and work with any agent that supports this spec. This includes popular coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code and Codex and tools like [OpenClaw](https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/skills).

## Prerequisites

Before using any skill, you'll need a You.com API key.

1. Get your key at [you.com/platform/api-keys](https://you.com/platform/api-keys)
2. Set the environment variable:

```bash
export YDC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```

## Installation

### Install All Skills

The fastest way to get started—installs all six skills at once:

```bash
# Using npm
npx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills

# Using Bun (recommended)
bunx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills
```

### Install Individual Skills

```bash
# Install a single skill
# Find the full list in our GitHub repo
npx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills --skill youdotcom-cli

# Install multiple specific skills
npx skills add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills --skill youdotcom-cli --skill ydc-ai-sdk-integration
```

## Usage

Once installed, your AI coding agent will automatically activate the relevant skill when you describe what you want. For example:

* "Add You.com CLI tools to my bash agent"
* "Integrate Vercel AI SDK with You.com tools"
* "Set up Claude Agent SDK with You.com MCP"
* "Configure OpenAI Agents SDK with You.com MCP"
* "Integrate You.com MCP with my crewAI agents"
* "Add You.com to my Teams app with Anthropic"

Each skill provides step-by-step instructions, code templates, and validation checklists tailored to the framework.
