Skills

Skills give your AI coding agent the know-how to work with Buddy - how to link a project, deploy, create and run pipelines, ship across environments, and read build logs - so you don't have to explain it every time. Once installed, the agent picks up the skill automatically and drives Buddy through the Buddy CLI.

The Buddy skill works across the agents documented here, and pairs well with the MCP server for direct API access.

Installation

bash
npm install -g bdy
$

bash
bdy login
$

bash
npx skills add buddy/buddy-plugin
$

What you can ask for

With the skill installed, you can drive Buddy in plain language - the agent maps your request to the right Buddy commands and runs them. A few things it unlocks:

• Deploy this app to production and tell me if anything breaks.
• Expose my app running locally on port 3000 to the internet.
• Buy a domain for my project and point it at my deployment.
• Claim a free domain and set it up with SSL.
• Publish the current build as an artifact.
• Spin up a sandbox and run my app in it.
• Add a CI pipeline that runs my tests on every push.
• Put a CDN in front of my site.
• Check the last pipeline run, read the logs, and fix the failing tests.

Each of these turns into real Buddy actions - pipelines, deployments, tunnels, domains, artifacts, and sandboxes - without you touching the CLI or the UI.
