## Installation

### npx skills (recommended)

Install using the [Skills CLI](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills):

```bash
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill document-processor-api
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill document-extraction-api
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill make-pdf
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill remediate-pdf
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill pdf-to-markdown
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill pdf-to-text
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --skill query
```

The `nutrient-sdk-dev` plugin's 13 per-SDK skills install the same way (e.g. `--skill nutrient-web-sdk`).

This works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and [many other agents](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#supported-agents).

To list all available skills in this repo:

```bash
npx skills add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills --list
```

### Claude Code / Codex plugin marketplace

Both Claude Code and Codex support the `/plugin` command:

```
/plugin marketplace add pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills
/plugin install nutrient-dws@nutrient-skills
/plugin install make-pdf@nutrient-skills
/plugin install remediate-pdf@nutrient-skills
/plugin install pdf-to-markdown@nutrient-skills
/plugin install pdf-to-text@nutrient-skills
/plugin install query@nutrient-skills
/plugin install nutrient-sdk-dev@nutrient-skills
```

After installation, the plugin's skills will automatically load in all future sessions.

### Pi

You can install the Nutrient skills with:

```bash
pi install git:github.com/PSPDFKit-labs/nutrient-skills
```

Pi will load all skills from the packaged `plugins/*/skills` directories. If you only want to try the package without installing it, use:

```bash
pi -e git:github.com/PSPDFKit-labs/nutrient-skills
```

You can still point Pi at a specific plugin's `skills/` directory or at the repo-wide `plugins/` directory in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` or a project-local `.pi/settings.json` if you prefer manual control.

### Manual / any agent

Clone the repository and point your agent at the skill directory:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/pspdfkit-labs/nutrient-skills.git
# Skills live under plugins/<plugin>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md
```

Reference `SKILL.md` directly in your agent's context, or symlink the skill directory into wherever your agent resolves skills.
