Exa agent skills give coding agents ready-made workflows for search, research, and building with the Exa API. Each skill is a portable SKILL.md that follows the open Agent Skills standard, so the same file installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any compatible agent. Skills live in the open-source exa-labs/agent-skills repository.
You need an Exa API key. Create one in the Exa Dashboard, then set EXA_API_KEY in your agent environment.

​
Install

Install every Exa skill at once:
Or open a skill page below and copy its setup prompt into your agent. That prompt installs just that skill, checks for an API key without printing it, and smoke-tests the key.

​

Each skill page includes a one-line description, a copyable setup prompt, and a link to the raw SKILL.md source.
