Using AI agents with RWX

Use the RWX skill to enable coding agents to find relevant documentation, lint run definition files, and validate with real RWX runs by kicking off run loops.

The RWX skill requires the RWX CLI to be installed and authenticated.

Note that we're listing a few different ways to install it, but you only need to pick one.

You can install the RWX skill to your current project via the RWX CLI by running:

rwx skill install

We recommend checking the skill in to your version control system to share with your team. See the documentation for rwx skill install for more information on configuration options.

Other ways to install

Claude Code marketplace

If you'd prefer to manage the skill through the Claude Code plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add rwx-cloud/skills

Then, install the plugin's skills:

/plugin install rwx

skills CLI

You can use the interactive npx skills command line tool to install skills for any coding agent:

npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills

Usage

Once you have the skill installed, you can invoke it in a few ways:

  • /rwx <prompt> (explicit with a slash command)
  • Fix this bug and then use an rwx run loop until CI is passing (kicks off a run loop for fast feedback without committing/pushing)
  • Explain how we could add concurrency limits to our RWX runs (implicit with a natural language prompt)
  • Can you help me write an RWX run definition to test my code? (implicit with a natural language prompt)

Best practices with AI agents are constantly evolving, and we'll be adding more tooling soon.

Please let us know if you have any feedback or have specific things that are working well for you when interacting with RWX in an agentic way.

Updating skills

When skill updates are available, the RWX CLI will notify you and/or your agent upon use. You can also check manually by running rwx skill status.

To update, run:

rwx skill update

If you installed the skills via the Claude Code marketplace, you can enable automatic updates, or update manually as follows:

/plugin marketplace update rwx
/plugin update rwx@rwx

If you installed the skill via the skills CLI, you may find that npx skills update does not work. This is a known issue with skills sourced from public Github repositories, and there is an open issue with Vercel as of this writing.

Instead, we recommend updating skills with rwx skill update.
