# MAIA agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made MAIA playbooks for AI agents: import data into a MAIA project, kick off a MAIA research project, answer questions from your MAIA project data. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use MAIA from your AI client, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/essentials.md): Confirms which MAIA account and county you are working in before any research, picks the right tool for the job, and asks you first before anything spends credits or changes data.
- [Import data into a MAIA project](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/data-import.md): Maps a file or list of rows to an existing MAIA project's schema, imports it in a small test first, and checks the counts before reporting success. It asks before any import runs.
- [Kick off a MAIA research project](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/project-kickoff.md): Turns a plain-language research request into a scoped MAIA project: confirms the county and plan, reads the schema, and asks before creating anything.
- [Answer questions from your MAIA project data](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/project-query-report.md): Turns a question about a MAIA project into a checked number with its base and limits. It reads the schema first, runs bounded queries, cross-checks the result, and asks before changing anything.
- [Follow a MAIA run to completion](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/run-monitoring.md): Checks the status of a running MAIA job, answers its questions, and handles approval prompts. It asks before approving a step or stopping a run.
- [Tidy your MAIA skill library](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/maia/skills/skill-library-maintenance.md): Reviews the reusable skills and memory kept in MAIA, saves only what is durable and general, and removes stale or duplicate entries. It lists every change and waits for your approval before writing.

### What is a MAIA agent skill?

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

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

3 of the 6 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 MAIA.

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

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

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