# BioRender agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made BioRender playbooks for AI agents: review a BioRender custom figure preview before you confirm it, find and render a BioRender figure from the library. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use BioRender with AI, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/biorender/skills/essentials.md): Connects to your BioRender account to search the template library, render finished figures, and build custom figures from a brief. It confirms the account first and asks before creating, rendering or confirming anything.
- [Review a BioRender custom figure preview before you confirm it](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/biorender/skills/custom-figure-preview-review.md): Turns a written brief into a BioRender custom figure, checks the generated preview element by element against that brief, and only confirms once you have agreed. It asks before creating or confirming anything.
- [Find and render a BioRender figure from the library](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/biorender/skills/search-and-render-figure.md): Searches the BioRender library for a template or icon that fits your brief, checks its licence and fit, and renders the figure once you approve. It asks before rendering or switching workspace.

## Install

- RevampKey: connect BioRender at https://revampkey.com/marketplace/biorender; the skills come with it.
- Any Agent Skills tool, into the current project:

```bash
for s in essentials custom-figure-preview-review search-and-render-figure; do
  curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .agents/skills/biorender-$s/SKILL.md https://revampkey.com/marketplace/biorender/skills/$s/SKILL.md

### What is a BioRender agent skill?

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

### Do the BioRender 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 BioRender.

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

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

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