Apify agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

3 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real Apify work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Download RevampKey, free I have it: connect Apify

Connect Apify once and all 3 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 3 Apify skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Use the Apify connector with AI

Gives an AI agent a working guide to the Apify connector: confirm the account first, choose the right search, run, status or storage tool, keep results bounded, and ask before any Actor run or abort.

Use it when

You have just connected Apify and want the assistant to use it carefully
A task spans searching Actors, running one and reading its results
You want the assistant to stop and ask before spending on an Actor run

Tools it uses

search-actors
fetch-actor-details
call-actor
get-actor-run
get-dataset-items
get-key-value-store-record
abort-actor-run
apify--rag-web-browser
search-apify-docs
fetch-apify-docs
search-actors-widget
fetch-actor-details-widget
get-actor-run-widget
call-actor-widget

Example

Connect to my Apify account and find a cheap Actor for pulling product listings, but ask me before you run anything.

I'm connected as your Apify account, which I'd like you to confirm first. I found 3 Actors that fit. Here is the cheapest with its input schema. Nothing has been run yet: shall I start it with a 5-minute cap and a 50-item limit?

Find and run the right Apify Actor

Finds a suitable Apify Store Actor for a data-collection task, checks its input schema, and proposes a bounded run. It asks for your approval before launching any run.

Use it when

You need to scrape or collect data from a website or service and do not know which Actor to use.
You want to run an Actor with a small sample before a full run.
You want the items from a finished Actor run pulled into a readable summary.

Tools it uses

search-actors
fetch-actor-details
call-actor
get-actor-run
get-dataset-items
get-key-value-store-record

Example

Find me an Apify Actor to collect the names and prices of 200 products from an online electronics store, and run a 20-item sample first.

I shortlisted three Actors and chose the one built for that store, because its input takes a category URL and its output includes name and price. I proposed a run capped at 20 items and asked you to approve it before launching. Once you approve, I will retrieve the 20 items and check the fields against the output shape.

Check an Apify run and get its results

Reads the status of an existing Apify Actor run, pulls its dataset items or stored records, and explains a failure. It only reads data and asks before stopping any run.

Use it when

You want to know if a scraping run has finished.
A run failed or seems stuck and you need to know why.
You need the results from a specific run id.

Tools it uses

get-actor-run
get-dataset-items
get-key-value-store-record
abort-actor-run

Example

Did run 8fK2mQ9xL4 finish, and can you pull the first 20 items it saved?

Run 8fK2mQ9xL4 (Google Maps scraper) succeeded after 14 minutes. Its default dataset holds 312 items. I pulled the first 20 and checked the key fields: 19 have a name and address, and 1 has an empty phone field. I have not changed anything.

How Apify skills work

Connect Apify
The Apify MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Find me an Apify Actor to collect the names and prices of 200 products from an online electronics store, and run a 20-item sample first.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Apify skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Apify. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Apify MCP server connected there.

Apify skills FAQ

What is a Apify agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Apify skill describes one job, which Apify tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Apify skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Apify.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Apify; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Apify MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Apify MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Apify MCP setup guide covers every client.
