# CData Connect AI agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made CData Connect AI playbooks for AI agents: answer business questions with SQL from CData Connect AI, explore a connected data source's schema. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use CData Connect AI safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cdata-connect-ai/skills/essentials.md): Teaches an AI assistant to confirm which connected data source and schema it is querying, pick metadata or query tools correctly, keep results bounded, and ask before running any statement that changes data.
- [Answer business questions with SQL from CData Connect AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cdata-connect-ai/skills/answer-business-question-with-sql.md): Turns a plain business question into a checked SQL answer over your connected data. It confirms the definition first, verifies columns and joins, runs a bounded query and sanity-checks the number before reporting it with its caveats.
- [Explore a connected data source's schema](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/cdata-connect-ai/skills/explore-data-source-schema.md): Maps the catalogs, schemas, tables, columns and keys of a CData Connect AI data source so you can see what exists and how tables join, before asking any questions. It reads metadata only and does not run queries.

### What is a CData Connect AI agent skill?

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

### Do the CData Connect AI skills change anything on their own?

3 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 CData Connect AI.

### 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 CData Connect AI; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the CData Connect AI MCP server too?

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