Skills for AI coding tools
A skill is one Markdown file, SKILL.md, that tells an AI coding tool how to do one job in Inferrex: which tools to call, in what order, and what to check before it changes anything.
Each skill works through InferrexMCP at https://mcp.inferrex.com/mcp, and names the InferrexAPI call behind every step for a tool that has no MCP connection. Chapter 9 of the guide shows how to connect.
To use one, get its SKILL.md and add it to your AI tool the way that tool loads skills. A tool that discovers skills on its own can read the list at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json, which gives each file's address and digest.
Every skill follows the same rules:
- It reads before it writes, and asks you before any change you have not asked for.
- It never reports a system or flow as working without a live test that says so.
- It asks for the name of a saved secret first. If you choose to paste a credential instead, it warns you that the AI tool will see it and asks you to confirm.
Build and run a flow in Inferrex
Create an Inferrex flow between connected systems (or into the Golden record), dry run it, show the user what it would write, then turn it on, sync it, schedule it or promote it to another environment. Use when the user asks to build, run, schedule, pause or promote a flow, pipeline or sync in Inferrex.
Connect a system to Inferrex
Connect a system to an Inferrex workspace by the address of its API, prove the sign-in with a live read, wait for the first read and get it reviewed and approved. Use when the user asks to add, connect or onboard a system, API or data source in Inferrex.
Diagnose a failing flow or system in Inferrex
Find out why an Inferrex flow or system is failing, stopped or not syncing, using read-only checks in a fixed order, then propose the smallest fix and apply it only with the user's agreement. Use when the user reports a failing, stuck, paused or unhealthy flow, pipeline, sync, system or connection in Inferrex, or asks what needs attention.
Map two systems in Inferrex
Match two connected systems in Inferrex, review the proposed field-to-field links with the user, record their decisions and approve the mapping. Use when the user asks to map, match or line up the data of two systems, or to review or change an existing mapping.
Replace a system's credentials in Inferrex
Replace or rotate the credentials an Inferrex system signs in with, keeping the secret value out of the AI tool unless the user chooses to paste it after a warning, and prove the new sign-in with a live read before reporting success. Use when a system's sign-in is refused, a key is due for rotation, or the user asks to change, rotate or check a system's credentials or secret.
Review Golden-record changes in Inferrex
Review proposed changes to Inferrex Golden records with the user, show each change field by field with where every value came from, and approve or reject on their decision. Also previews merge, split, restore and archive edits. Use when the user asks about Golden-record changes, proposals waiting in the Review queue, or which system is the source of truth.
