# Honeycomb agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Honeycomb playbooks for AI agents: investigate a latency or error spike with AI, review Honeycomb SLO and trigger coverage. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Honeycomb with AI agents, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/honeycomb/skills/essentials.md): Teaches an agent to confirm the team, environment and dataset before querying, choose the right read tool, keep results small, and ask before any change. It does not modify Honeycomb without your approval.
- [Investigate a latency or error spike with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/honeycomb/skills/investigate-latency-or-error-spike.md): Traces a Honeycomb latency or error spike to a specific segment, comparing it against a baseline and checking a trace from inside the window. It reads your data and does not change triggers, SLOs or Boards without asking.
- [Review Honeycomb SLO and trigger coverage](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/honeycomb/skills/review-slo-and-trigger-coverage.md): Audits your Honeycomb SLOs and triggers against the services that matter, finding unguarded services, dead or noisy alerts, and stale conditions. It proposes a prioritised fix list and asks before changing anything.

### What is a Honeycomb agent skill?

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

### Do the Honeycomb 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 Honeycomb.

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

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

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