Skills
Skills are portable instruction packs (a SKILL.md file plus optional reference docs) that teach an agent a new capability. The Bankr ecosystem uses skills in two directions, and they're easy to confuse — this page exists so you don't.
The two directions
1. Add Bankr to your agent
You're using a coding agent or assistant elsewhere — Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, or any other framework that supports skills — and you want it to be able to trade tokens, manage a portfolio, place bets on Polymarket, and so on.
Install the Bankr skill into that agent. Bankr is the skill, your agent is the host.
→ Install the Bankr skill in your agent
2. Add skills to your Bankr agent
You're running a Bankr agent (the one at bankr.bot) and you want to extend it with new behaviors — domain-specific workflows, custom playbooks, integrations with services Bankr doesn't natively know about.
Install skills into Bankr. Bankr is the host, the new skills are guests.
→ Add skills to your Bankr agent
Same format, both directions
Either way, a skill is just a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and a markdown body, optionally accompanied by a references/ folder of supporting docs. The same skill file can often work in both directions with no changes.
Where to next
- New to Bankr and using another agent? Start with Install the Bankr skill.
- Already using your Bankr agent and want to extend it? Start with Install a skill from GitHub.
- Building something to share? See Contribute a skill for the public catalog, or Create a skill manually for one that lives in your own agent.
