Let the agent handle the details.

Agent skills

Open source skills that extend a coding agent with knowledge of the platform, turning setup, deployment, database sync and remote commands into a prompt instead of a procedure.

The agent runs the procedure. Reading the documentation is not the same as performing the operation correctly. The skills carry the workflows — connecting a project, deploying, syncing files, moving a database, running a remote command — so a coding agent executes them instead of reconstructing them from prose.

Operations by name

/fortrabbit deploy deploys. db down pulls the database. ssh runs artisan, craft console or Composer on the environment. A procedure looked up once a month becomes one command.

With or without a connection

The skills work over SSH and rsync on their own. Adding the MCP server lets the agent list apps, open environments and read deployment logs without a shell. The two work together.

They are open source, so what an agent is being told to do can be read before it does it.

Different by design

Frequently asked

Which agents do they work with?
Claude Code and Codex

Claude Code and Codex - Both are supported directly, and GitHub Copilot has basic support. Installing is one command, globally or per project, and uninstalling lists what it will delete before removing anything.

#
Is an MCP connection required?
No

No - The skills work over SSH and rsync on their own. Adding the [MCP server](/features/mcp-server) lets the agent list apps, create environments and read deployment logs without a shell — the two halves compose rather than compete.

#
What do they actually do?
The everyday operations

The everyday operations - Detect the project and connect it, deploy, sync files up or down, move a database in either direction, move CMS content, and run a remote command over SSH — artisan, craft console, Composer.

#
What do they need locally?
ssh and rsync

ssh and rsync - Both have to be available. On Windows, rsync and the install script need WSL; SSH itself works natively on Windows 10 and later.
