Replicate now publishes agent skills, a collection of markdown instruction files that give coding assistants expert knowledge about working with AI models on Replicate.

Skills cover model discovery, comparison, and execution via the API, along with detailed prompting techniques for image generation and video generation models. They follow the open Agent Skills spec and work with Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenAI Codex, and other compatible tools.

Install

This installs all of Replicate’s skills into your project and configures them for your coding assistant automatically.

Skills and MCP

Skills are complementary to Replicate’s MCP server. MCP gives your coding assistant API tools. Skills give it knowledge about how to use those tools well: which models to choose, how to write prompts, and what tradeoffs to consider.

For more details, see the agent skills reference or the GitHub repository.
