# Ashby agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Ashby playbooks for AI agents: review your Ashby candidate pipeline with AI, prepare for an Ashby interview with an AI briefing, triage your Ashby to-do list with AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Ashby through AI, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ashby/skills/essentials.md): Shows how to connect and query Ashby recruiting data through an AI assistant, using the right search tool and respecting your own visibility. Any change to a candidate or stage waits for your explicit approval.
- [Review your Ashby candidate pipeline with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ashby/skills/candidate-pipeline-review.md): Shows where candidates are stuck across a job's funnel, how long they have sat in each stage, and who is holding up the next step. Read-only, so nothing moves until you say so.
- [Prepare for an Ashby interview with an AI briefing](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ashby/skills/interview-prep-brief.md): Builds a one-page briefing for an upcoming Ashby interview, covering the candidate's background, the panel, what earlier stages already covered and the feedback so far. It only reads your data and never changes a record.
- [Triage your Ashby to-do list with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ashby/skills/my-task-triage.md): Ranks your own pending Ashby items, such as owed scorecards, approvals and candidate follow-ups, by what blocks other people, and drafts the next action for each. It reads only and asks before changing anything.

### What is a Ashby agent skill?

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

### Do the Ashby skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 4 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 Ashby.

### 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 Ashby; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Ashby MCP server too?

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