## Skills

- [Use CodeWords safely with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/codewords/skills/essentials.md): Works with your CodeWords services, workflow runs and secrets, sorting each request into read, build or execute before acting. It asks for your explicit yes before anything is changed, deployed or run.
- [Build and deploy a CodeWords service](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/codewords/skills/build-and-deploy-service.md): Turns a described automation into a working CodeWords service by adapting a template where one fits, editing and validating the code, then deploying only after you approve. It asks before anything goes live.
- [Debug a failed CodeWords workflow run](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/codewords/skills/debug-failed-workflow-run.md): Finds the step that actually failed in a CodeWords workflow run, separating it from the trigger that started it. It recommends whether to rerun, fix first or cancel, and asks before rerunning or cancelling anything.
- [Manage CodeWords service implementations with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/codewords/skills/manage-service-implementations.md): Compares a service's implementations and checks the secrets they need, then switches the live version only after you approve it. It records the previous version so you can roll back.
- [Audit your CodeWords secrets with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/codewords/skills/secrets-hygiene-review.md): Compares the secrets stored in your CodeWords account with the services that use them, flagging missing, duplicate and unused credentials. It proposes cleanup and waits for your approval before deleting or changing anything.

### What is a CodeWords agent skill?

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

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

The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in CodeWords.

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

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

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