# Grafana agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Grafana playbooks for AI agents: audit Grafana alert rules, silences and routing, review Grafana dashboard panels and queries, triage an active Grafana incident. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the Grafana MCP server safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/grafana-mcp-server/skills/essentials.md): Sets the ground rules for working with Grafana through the MCP server: confirm the instance, org and permissions, pick the right tool, keep queries small, and ask before any change.
- [Audit Grafana alert rules, silences and routing](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/grafana-mcp-server/skills/alert-rule-and-silence-audit.md): Reviews alert rules, silences and notification routing for staleness, noise and misrouting, then proposes changes. It reads first and asks before changing any rule or silence.
- [Review Grafana dashboard panels and queries](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/grafana-mcp-server/skills/dashboard-panel-query-review.md): Audits a Grafana dashboard's panels and their queries, checks the datasources behind them, and reports broken, duplicated or expensive panels. It is read-only and changes nothing.
- [Triage an active Grafana incident](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/grafana-mcp-server/skills/incident-response-triage.md): Walks through a live Grafana incident: confirms the firing alert group and on-call owner, correlates error and slow-request patterns, and drafts timeline entries. It asks before writing anything to the incident.
- [Annotate changes on Grafana graphs with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/grafana-mcp-server/skills/observability-change-annotation.md): Records deployments, rollouts and manual changes as Grafana annotations with consistent tags, so every graph shows a change timeline. It confirms the dashboard, time and timezone and asks before writing anything.

### What is a Grafana agent skill?

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

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

1 of the 5 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 Grafana.

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

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

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