--- title: Hive Agent Skills lastUpdated: '2026-05-30' nextjs: metadata: title: "Hive Agent Skills | Install and Workflow Skill Pack" description: "Hive's 17 agent skills for MCP setup, tool discovery, crypto research, token diligence, wallet investigation, monitoring, DeFi, NFTs, and prediction markets." alternates: canonical: https://www.hiveintelligence.xyz/skills keywords: "hive skills, agent skills, claude code skill, cursor skills, crypto mcp skills" --- Hive ships a first-party skill pack alongside the managed MCP server. Skills teach an agent **how** to use Hive; the MCP server still performs the live data calls. {% .lead %} {% ai-doc-actions path="/skills" title="Hive Agent Skills" /%} Use this page when you want the human-readable index. Agents can read the runtime resource `hive://skills`, the public JSON mirror at [`/skills/index.json`](/skills/index.json), or the individual Markdown mirrors linked below. --- ## Use the skill pack Hive publishes installable skills, public website mirrors, and runtime MCP resources. Use the public skills mirror when your agent supports `npx skills`; use `hive://skills` when the agent is already inside a Hive MCP session. Install every Hive skill with the skills CLI: ```bash npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills ``` Preview the available skills without installing: ```bash npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --list ``` Install one focused skill: ```bash npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-token-diligence --yes ``` The current published Hive CLI also initializes local credentials and can install supported local agent resources: ```bash npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser ``` Headless environments can provide the key through `HIVE_API_KEY`: ```bash export HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_... ``` For client-specific MCP setup, use [the install guide](/install). For CLI setup and config-snippet commands, use [CLI and Agent Skills Setup](/install/claude-skill). --- ## Current distribution - [`github.com/hive-intel/hive-skills`](https://github.com/hive-intel/hive-skills) - public installable skills mirror for `npx skills`. - `hive://skills` - runtime skill metadata inside an MCP session. - [`/skills/index.json`](/skills/index.json) - public JSON index of the skill pack. - [`/skills/*.md`](/skills/hive-mcp.md) - individual skill Markdown mirrors for AI crawlers and humans. - [`/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md`](/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md) - agent install decision tree. - `npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser` - full local setup with browser auth and supported agent resources. Agent Skills are distribution and workflow guidance. MCP is the execution surface for live calls, REST is the backend HTTP surface, and the CLI is the local terminal surface. --- ## Runtime sources | Source | Use it for | | --- | --- | | `npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills` | Install the full Hive skill pack into supported agent environments | | `npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-token-diligence --yes` | Install one focused Hive workflow skill | | `hive://skills` | Runtime skill metadata during an MCP session | | `hive://toolsets` | Task-routing maps before choosing exact tools | | `hive://task-canaries` | Representative calls for validating workflow coverage | | [`/skills/index.json`](/skills/index.json) | Public JSON mirror for crawlers and non-MCP agents | | [`/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md`](/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md) | Install-path decision tree for autonomous agents | Agents should prefer runtime resources over cached docs.
