Install and use the Dailybot agent skill pack

Install and use the Dailybot agent skill pack

The Dailybot agent skill pack gives compatible AI coding agents guided access to supported Dailybot actions. An agent can use the pack to report progress, work with check-ins and forms, send supported messages, give kudos, trigger workflows, and use other capabilities documented by the pack.

Before you install

You need a project opened in an AI coding tool that can read skills from .agents/skills/. You also need a Dailybot account and permission to perform the actions you ask the agent to run.

Authentication is handled by the Dailybot CLI. Use an interactive Dailybot login on a developer workstation. For an unattended environment, use the API key approach documented in the agent skill technical reference and store the key in the environment’s secret manager.

Install the skill pack

From your project directory, run:

npx skills add DailybotHQ/agent-skill

The installer adds the skill files to the project so compatible agents can discover them. For manual installation options and the current compatibility details, use the agent skill technical reference.

Ask the agent for a supported task

Describe the outcome in plain language. For example, ask the agent to report completed work, list a pending check-in, give kudos, submit a form response, or trigger a workflow. The agent should load the matching sub-skill, validate the required inputs, and request any decision that only you can make.

Review external actions before approving them. A skill can prepare a command, but the authenticated Dailybot account still determines what the action can access.

Keep credentials out of the repository

Do not place an API key in a skill file, project profile, prompt, commit, or chat message. Use dailybot login for interactive work or the documented environment variable for headless use. See API authentication for the current credential behavior.

Troubleshoot installation

  • Confirm that the skill exists under the project’s .agents/skills/ directory.
  • Restart or refresh the coding agent if it does not discover newly installed skills.
  • Confirm that the Dailybot CLI is authenticated before retrying an action.
  • Use the agent skill reference for supported harnesses and the CLI troubleshooting guide for authentication or command errors.
