Overview

Self-contained instructions that teach AI agents how to perform Datum Cloud tasks.

Skills are folders containing a SKILL.md file with metadata and step-by-step instructions. Agents discover and load them on demand — no scaffolding, no config files. Datum’s official skills cover the most common operations across AI Edge, DNS, Domains, and Metrics Export, with more on the way.

These skills work with any agent with support for Skills like but not limited to: Claude, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Mistral Vibe.

How skills work alongside Datum MCP and datumctl

Skills tell the agent how to think about a Datum resource — the canonical patterns, the right flags, the order of operations. Datum MCP and datumctl are how the agent acts. A skill might instruct “always preview HTTPProxy changes with --dry-run before applying” — the agent then uses datumctl to actually run the command. See Agents Overview for the full picture.
