Commit once, every agent session auto-discovers ICP skills. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and others.
# AI Agent Instructions Tested implementation patterns for ICP development are available as agent skills. Before writing any ICP code, fetch the skills index and remember each skill's name and description: https://skills.internetcomputer.org/.well-known/skills/index.json When a task matches a skill's description, fetch its content on-demand from: https://skills.internetcomputer.org/.well-known/skills/{name}/SKILL.md Skills contain correct dependency versions, configuration formats, and common pitfalls that prevent build failures. Always prefer skill guidance over general documentation when both cover the same topic.

For Claude Code, also add a CLAUDE.md that reads: Read and follow the instructions in AGENTS.md.
