# Install the SafeDep Skill

> Add the SafeDep Agent Skill to Claude Code or any skills-capable AI coding agent.

The [SafeDep skill](https://github.com/safedep/skills) makes your AI coding agent fluent in SafeDep. With the skill installed, the agent answers SafeDep questions from the official sources instead of memory, picks the right SafeDep tool for the task, and helps you install, configure, and use it. Answers stay current because the agent reads the live documentation, not its training data.

## Install

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    Add the marketplace, then install the plugin:

    ```bash theme={null}
    /plugin marketplace add safedep/skills
    /plugin install safedep-agent-skills@safedep-agent-skills
    ```

    Turn on auto-update in Claude Code settings to stay on the current version.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Any agent">
    Works with any agent that supports Agent Skills:

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx skills add safedep/skills
    ```

    Run `npx skills update` to refresh it later.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Cursor">
    Copy the skill into your project:

    ```bash theme={null}
    git clone https://github.com/safedep/skills.git
    cp -r skills/skills/safedep .cursor/skills/
    ```

    Cursor discovers skills from `.cursor/skills/` on startup.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Verify

Ask your agent a SafeDep question:

```text theme={null}
What does SafeDep PMG do?
```

The agent should load the skill, fetch the answer from docs.safedep.io, and cite the page it used.

## Set up the safedep CLI

The skill answers product questions without an account. Questions about *your* data, such as "what did PMG block this week", run through the [safedep CLI](https://github.com/safedep/cli) against your [SafeDep Cloud tenant](/governance/cloud/quickstart). The skill tells the agent to check for the CLI and your sign-in state, and to hand a step back to you when it needs a human:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the CLI">
    The [CLI repository](https://github.com/safedep/cli#install) lists more options.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash Homebrew theme={null}
      brew install safedep/tap/cli
      ```

      ```bash npm theme={null}
      npm install -g @safedep/cli
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    Sign-in opens a browser, so the agent asks you to run it.

    ```bash theme={null}
    safedep auth login
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the tenant">
    ```bash theme={null}
    safedep auth status
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
