Skills in Cloud Agent

[grallm]

Hi!

I am currently trying to make the most out of Cloud Agents, and for that I want to give them “specific“ SKILLs or instructions.

Is the Cloud Agent’s harness providing skill support? Especially when triggered from the Web?

I am struggling to have the agent trigger them itself, it seems that it doesn’t have the list.

I have my skill in .cursor/skills/fix-flaky-tests/SKILL.md, started with having it in .claude to support Claude Code, but didn’t trigger.

My description is something like:

description: Retries flaky E2E tests via GitHub Actions [...] Use when on a cloud agent (no local development machine) [...]

And I now have referenced it in AGENTS.md:

[...]
## Running tests

### E2E tests

- **Desktop**: Use run-e2e-tests-locally skill
- **Cloud agent**: Use fix-flaky-tests skill
[...]

but it really doesn’t want to trigger it. Locally when it triggers it “Used ”, but not in the Cloud.

So, does anyone have some experience with Skills and Cloud Agents? Does anyone have some knowledge about all that?

Thanks!

I am experiencing the same thing. It seems to pick up the skill when I run through the CLI but not via the Cloud Agent

Hey @grallm and @robin.hultman! We just pushed a change to enable this, please try again.

Works great! Thank you.

And where /how do I need to configure the commands and skills for the cloud agent?

A .cursor/skills directory in your project, among others (like agents/skills) will do the trick! (docs). Like in @robin.hultman 's example.
