canvas skills
canvas skills¶
Install this CLI's AI-agent skill into Claude, Cursor, and other agents
Synopsis¶
Install the canvas-cli agent skill so AI coding agents know how to drive this CLI.
The cross-agent way (recommended) is Vercel's installer, which detects every agent you have and is always up to date:
npx skills add jjuanrivvera/canvas-cli
This built-in command writes the bundled skill directly, without Node:
canvas skills install # Claude Code (project ./.claude/skills) canvas skills install --global # Claude Code (~/.claude/skills) canvas skills install --agent cursor --global
