# Skills

# What are Skills?

Skills are ready-made analysis workflows your AI platforms can run against your connected Marrow data. Each skill is **read-only**: it reads synced data and never changes your connected store or ad accounts.

* **Access**: AI Hub → Skills
* **Purpose**: Browse, install, and reuse proven analyses instead of writing prompts from scratch

## Before you start

Skills work best when both of these are ready:

1. Data sources are connected and syncing — [Integrations](./Integrations.md) and [Data Explorer](./Data%20Explorer.md)
2. Your AI platform can reach Marrow — [AI Platforms](./AI%20Platforms.md)

## What categories are available?

Skills are grouped by job-to-be-done:

| Category                 | Use when you need to…                                          |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Executive Overview**   | Cross-channel paid-media performance and budget decisions      |
| **Channel Analytics**    | Audit or optimize Amazon Ads, Google Ads, or Meta Ads          |
| **Market & Competitive** | Research keywords, competitors, categories, or ad libraries    |
| **Product Lifecycle**    | Improve listings, images, or multichannel catalog operations   |
| **Growth & Audience**    | SEO/GEO, personas, email quality, and audience research        |
| **Automated Insights**   | Diagnose sudden performance anomalies (for example Google Ads) |

Open a skill to read its full description and when to use it.

## How do I install a skill?

1. Open **Skills** and search or browse by category.
2. Open the skill you want.
3. Choose how to install:
   * **Add to** your AI agent (for example Codex) when the one-click path is available
   * **Download ZIP** to add the skill files manually
   * Or select your AI agent and run the install command shown on the page, for example:

```bash theme={null}
npx marrow-skills@latest add --agent <target> --skill <skill-id>
```

Supported install targets include Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent, and Gemini CLI. Follow the on-screen instruction for the agent you select (some ask you to restart the client after install).

## How do I use a skill after installing?

In your connected AI platform, invoke the skill the way that client expects (slash command, skill picker, or natural language that matches the skill’s purpose). The skill reads from your Marrow-synced data through the AI Platforms connection.

If results look empty or stale, check sync status in [Data Explorer](./Data%20Explorer.md) and confirm the AI platform session or MCP connection in [AI Platforms](./AI%20Platforms.md).
