Aident Skill
Aident AI helps agents move beyond chat and coding to get real work done across your tools and apps.
Aident Loadout connects work apps and Aident-managed platform tools to AI agents. It lets agents discover 1,000+ tools like Gmail, Slack, Linear, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, Firecrawl, Exa, and Fal; use connected accounts through secure Aident Vault from any supported agent; use Aident-managed capabilities without separate provider keys; execute 27,000+ real-world actions; and review every action call in audit history. This single aident-skill teaches agents when and how to use Aident Loadout.
First-Time Setup
Ask your agent:
Follow https://aident.ai/SETUP.md
The setup guide will install or refresh aident-skill, set up the Aident CLI, guide login, and verify Aident Loadout access.
To refresh an existing agent setup later, ask the agent:
Update https://aident.ai/SETUP.md
Manual Skill Install
If you only need to install the static skill package manually:
npx -y @aident-ai/cli@latest update --skill-only
The CLI verifies the published artifact, installs one canonical global copy, and repairs detected filesystem-backedagent hosts. Add --project only when you want clean project-scoped copies migrated too. Account-level skill surfacessuch as Claude Cowork or Claude chat still require their native skill manager. After this command, continue withhttps://aident.ai/SETUP.md to complete Aident Loadout setup.
This repository contains the static post-setup Aident Loadout skill knowledge. After setup is complete, agents use this skill to operate Aident Loadout through the CLI, user-managed MCP, or advanced OpenAPI surfaces.
Install Aident Skill from anywhere
We have published Aident Skill across the following Skill, MCP, and Plugin marketplaces. You can install it from the marketplace your agent or client already supports.
| Skill Marketplace | Install Link |
|---|---|
| Skills.sh | Install Aident Skill from Skills.sh |
| ClawHub | Install Aident Skill from ClawHub |
The Cursor Marketplace package, also used by Grok Bot, connects directly to Aident Loadout through MCP. It does notinstall another copy of aident-skill, so it can coexist with a CLI-managed global Skill without duplicate routinginstructions. Marketplace links will be added here after the listing is approved and its public URLs are verified.
How It Works
The installable SKILL.md is intentionally small. It teaches the agent when to use Aident Loadout, then points to focused references packaged with the skill:
| Need | Reference |
|---|---|
| External tools, SaaS apps, integrations, Vault, execution, audit history | references/loadout.md |
| MCP client setup | references/mcp.md |
| Raw HTTPS/OpenAPI fallback | references/api.md |
| Authentication and troubleshooting | references/troubleshooting.md |
CLI
The CLI is the recommended operating path when an agent can run shell commands:
aident login
aident skills search --query "web research" --json
aident skills read --name "skill:<uuid>" --artifactVersionId "<uuid>" --json
aident capabilities search --query "send email" --json
aident capabilities execute --name composio:gmail_tools:gmail_send_email --input '{"to":"[email protected]","subject":"Hi","body":"..."}' --json
aident vault status --integrationId composio:gmail_tools --json
aident audit recent --limit 20 --json
MCP
MCP is configured automatically by the Cursor Marketplace and Grok Bot plugin. Other MCP clients can configure itmanually:
- Aident Loadout integrations:
https://loadout.aident.ai/mcp
See references/mcp.md for client-specific setup.
Authentication
CLI auth uses aident login. MCP clients initiate OAuth on first use. Tokens are managed by the CLI or MCP client, not by the skill text.
