Installing AMD Skills#
Install AMD Skills with the skills CLI via npx. No clone or manual copying required.
npx skills add amd/skills
This prompts you to pick a skill and an install destination. To install a specific skill into specific agents, pass --skill with one or more --agent flags (e.g. cursor, claude-code, codex):
npx skills add amd/skills --skill local-ai-use --agent claude-code
Browse everything available before installing:
npx skills add amd/skills --list
npx requires Node.js. Prefer to do it by hand? See Manual installation.
Using a skill#
Once a skill is installed, reference it in plain language while talking to your agent. For example:
“Use AMD Skills to learn how to generate images locally instead of burning cloud tokens.”
“Use AMD Skills to deploy this LLM for inference on my AMD Instinct GPUs.”
In most cases the agent picks the right skill on its own from the description; explicit invocation is a fallback, not a requirement.
For hands-on, step-by-step guides that show a skill in action, see the walkthroughs.
Manual installation#
Until marketplace integration lands, install skills manually: clone this repo, then copy (or symlink) the skill folders you want from skills/ into your agent’s skills directory. Each agent discovers SKILL.md automatically.
git clone https://github.com/amd/skills.git amd-skills
cp -r amd-skills/skills/local-ai-use <agent-skills-dir>/
