Any conformant Agent Plugins client (Cursor, and other clients from the TSC ecosystem, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel) can discover and load it. - Skills: Factual, framework-neutral reference for Netlify primitives: access control, agent runner, AI gateway, blobs, caching, config, database, deploy, edge functions, forms, frameworks, functions, identity, image CDN, and MCP servers. Each is a directory under skills/ containing a SKILL.md (Agent Skills format). - MCP: The official hosted Netlify MCP server (https://netlify-mcp.netlify.app/mcp, streamable HTTP). It authorizes via OAuth on first connection, no token or local install required, letting the agent create and manage Netlify projects, deploys, and environment variables. skills/ is the source of truth for the whole repository. The skills/ tree in this package is mirrored from it. From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized.

Use when a developer wants to password-protect a site or previews, restrict a project to their team, make a project public/private, set team visibility defaults, require SSO… - netlify-agent-runner: Run AI agent tasks remotely on Netlify using Claude, Codex, or Gemini. Use when the user wants to run an AI agent on their site, get a second opinion from another model, or delegate development tasks to run remotely against their repo. - netlify-ai-gateway: Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter models from Netlify Functions or Edge Functions without managing provider API keys or accounts, the gateway injects credentials automatically. Reach for this when you add an AI chatbot or completion endpoint, generate images or text with Gemini/G… - netlify-blobs: Store and retrieve unstructured objects, file uploads, and cache-like state on Netlify using the @netlify/blobs key/value API from Functions, Edge Functions, and Build Plugins. Use when a task involves saving user file or image uploads, persisting form or contact-form submissions, storing generated… - netlify-caching: Cache dynamic and static responses on Netlify's CDN from Functions, Edge Functions, and proxies. Use when you add caching or cache-control headers to a function response, tune cache TTL or stale-while-revalidate, set up the durable cache, vary a cache key by query/header/cookie/country/language, pu… - netlify-config: Configure Netlify projects via netlify.toml and the _headers/_redirects files: covering build settings and deploy contexts alongside environment variables/scopes and the Secrets Controller plus redirect/rewrite/proxy and custom-header rules. Use when setting a build command or publish directory, a… - netlify-database: Zero-config Postgres for Netlify apps via @netlify/database, querying data from Functions/Edge Functions, writing schema migrations, setting up Drizzle ORM, local dev with netlify dev, database branches for deploy previews, and migrating an existing Postgres project onto Netlify. Use when adding a… - netlify-deploy: Create and manage Netlify deploys: Git continuous deployment, CLI manual/anonymous deploys, Deploy to Netlify buttons, drag-and-drop, and per-context netlify.toml build settings. Use when linking a repo, deploying from the CLI, setting up Deploy Previews or branch deploys, configuring deploy conte… - netlify-edge-functions: Write, configure, and deploy Netlify Edge Functions (Deno runtime at the network edge) in TypeScript/JavaScript. Use when adding request/response manipulation at the edge, auth middleware, geolocation redirects, A/B testing and personalization, content localization, redirects/rewrites, SSR at the… - netlify-forms: Serverless form handling on Netlify-hosted sites: detects HTML forms at deploy time, stores submissions, filters spam, and sends notifications.
