Instrumentl agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

3 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real Instrumentl work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Connect Instrumentl once and all 3 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 3 Instrumentl skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Use the Instrumentl connector safely

Checks which Instrumentl account Claude is working on, picks the right lookup level, and explains free-trial limits and approval prompts. It asks before changing anything.

Use it when

You have just connected Instrumentl to Claude and want to confirm the right account.
Your results look shorter than expected and you want to know if a cap applies.
Claude was refused access or asked for approval and you are not sure what to allow.

Tools it uses

get_current_account
get_grant
get_match
list_project_matches
list_projects
list_grants

Example

Which Instrumentl account are you looking at right now, and do you have all my youth literacy project's matches or only some?

You are connected to Harbor Youth Trust (subscribed plan), so there is no record limit. The youth literacy project returned 15 matches on the first page, so I have pulled the next page before giving you a count. I have not changed anything in your account.

Read-only5 Instrumentl tools

Review a project's grant matches with AI

Walks one Instrumentl project's matches from list to shortlist, reading each grant record and producing a ranked review with fit reasoning and the gaps to check before applying. It reads only and asks before changing anything.

Use it when

Your team needs a shortlist from a project's matches before the next planning meeting
You want to know which open grants are worth an application this quarter
You are onboarding a new grant writer and want a structured read of the pipeline

Tools it uses

get_current_account
list_projects
list_project_matches
get_match
get_grant

Example

Review the matches for our Youth Literacy project and give me a ranked shortlist with the gaps I need to check.

Your account is Riverside Literacy Partners. The Youth Literacy project lists 12 matches: 7 open, 3 past deadline and 2 with no deadline shown. I read the 8 most relevant in full and shortlisted 4. Top pick is a state reading-access grant: its purpose and geography match, but eligibility for organisations under three years old still needs confirming.

Read-only5 Instrumentl tools

Audit your Instrumentl project portfolio with AI

Compares every project on your Instrumentl account side by side to show where prospecting is thin, stalled or duplicated. It reads your data and asks before changing anything.

Use it when

You run several grant projects and need to see which one needs more prospecting
You suspect two projects are chasing the same foundations
You want a portfolio-level view before a planning meeting

Tools it uses

get_current_account
list_projects
list_project_matches
get_match
get_grant

Example

Compare my Instrumentl projects and tell me where prospecting is thin or duplicated.

Your account has 4 projects. The Youth Literacy project has 38 matches, 9 with deadlines in the next 60 days. The Capital Campaign has only 6 matches, none due soon, so it is the thinnest. Two funders, the Hartwell Foundation and the Mercer Trust, appear in both the Youth Literacy and Food Access projects, so those applications may overlap.

How Instrumentl skills work

Connect Instrumentl
The Instrumentl MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Review the matches for our Youth Literacy project and give me a ranked shortlist with the gaps I need to check.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Instrumentl skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Instrumentl. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Instrumentl MCP server connected there.

Instrumentl skills FAQ

What is a Instrumentl agent skill?

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

Do the Instrumentl 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 Instrumentl.

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

Do I need the Instrumentl MCP server too?

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