Agent skill
Give your coding agent the skill to set up the CLI, verify its API key, and operate Machines.
Install with the skills CLI
npx skills add https://docs.dedaluslabs.ai --skill dedalus-machines
Select your agent when prompted, then ask it to use dedalus-machines.
The skill is hosted on the Dedalus docs domain. Installation does not require
access to a private GitHub repository.
Download directly
Read SKILL.md, or download it without Node.js or the skills CLI:
curl -fsSL https://docs.dedaluslabs.ai/.well-known/skills/dedalus-machines/skill.md -o SKILL.md
Attach the file to your agent and ask: "Follow this skill to use Dedalus Machines."
Provide your API key through DEDALUS_API_KEY in the agent's environment. Never
put the key in the skill file.
Your API key identifies your organization. Leave DEDALUS_ORG_ID and
--dedalus-org-id unset for ordinary setup, even if an agent asks for them.
The optional X-Dedalus-Org-Id header must match the key's organization.
Override the environment
The skill uses the default CLI base URL. To target another environment, change
DEDALUS_BASE_URL or pass --base-url on each command. For example, for staging:
export DEDALUS_BASE_URL=https://staging.dcs.dedaluslabs.ai
Use a key for the selected environment. Make sure the agent process inherits the
variable, or pass --base-url explicitly in each shell, including for SSH.
