# Manatal agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Manatal playbooks for AI agents: triage a Manatal job pipeline with AI, brief a candidate before an interview with Manatal and AI, set up a new job in Manatal from a hiring brief. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Manatal safely with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/manatal/skills/essentials.md): Guides the assistant through confirming your workspace, searching candidates efficiently, resolving IDs before changes, and asking for your approval before every write to Manatal.
- [Triage a Manatal job pipeline with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/manatal/skills/candidate-pipeline-triage.md): Reviews every candidate in one Manatal job's pipeline, reading their stage, notes and experience, and sorts them into advance, follow up or close out with evidence. It recommends moves but asks before changing any stage.
- [Brief a candidate before an interview with Manatal and AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/manatal/skills/candidate-profile-briefing.md): Reads a candidate's profile, work history, education and existing notes in Manatal, then returns a short, evidence-backed briefing with the open questions to ask. It does not change any record unless you approve a note.
- [Set up a new job in Manatal from a hiring brief](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/manatal/skills/job-intake-and-setup.md): Turns a hiring manager's brief into a checked job draft and linked notes in Manatal, checking for duplicate jobs and organisations first. It asks for your explicit approval before creating anything.

### What is a Manatal agent skill?

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

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

1 of the 4 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 Manatal.

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

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

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