AI Skills

Ika provides a set of agent skills — reusable instruction sets that give AI coding agents expert knowledge about the Ika network. When installed, your AI agent automatically loads the right context when you work with Ika.

Skills work with 40+ AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more.

How Skills Work

Each skill consists of a SKILL.md file with optional references/ for detailed documentation. When your AI agent encounters a relevant task (e.g., writing code that imports @ika.xyz/sdk), the skill is automatically loaded into context.
