How skills work
Skills load automatically when a coding assistant starts inside a Domino workspace. The agent detects the Domino project and loads available skills from the domino-claude-plugin. You don’t need to install or configure skills manually. To use a skill, reference the skill by name when prompting your agent. For example:Available skills
The following skills are included in the Domino Standard Environment:Development & modeling
Jobs & orchestration
Data
Deployment & monitoring
GenAI & LLM
Applications & SDK
Use skills in practice
When you ask your coding agent to perform a Domino-specific task, the agent selects and activates the appropriate skill. For example:- “Train a model on the diabetes dataset and track the experiment” activates the modeling-assistant and experiment-tracking skills.
- “Deploy this model as an API endpoint” activates the model-endpoints skill.
- “Create a Streamlit app for this project” activates the domino-app-init skill.
- “Set up a Spark cluster and run this distributed job” activates the distributed-computing skill.
