Install Aident Skill

One-Command Install

If your agent supports Skills.sh, install with a single command:

npx -y skills add aident-ai/aident-skill --skill aident-skill --agent '*' --global --yes

This installs local agent guidance only. It does not automatically configure MCP. For first-time setup, ask your agent:

Follow https://aident.ai/SETUP.md

Manual Setup

If you want MCP instead of the CLI, add the Aident Loadout server URL to your client’s MCP configuration file.
