# Skills

> Give your agent knowledge on how to set up and manage Latitude autonomously with our skills.

## Overview

The fastest way to add Latitude to an app is to let your coding agent do it. Latitude publishes a set of **[Agent Skills](https://github.com/latitude-dev/skills)** that teach an agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode, …) how to instrument your code, drive the [CLI](/getting-started/cli), and confirm that real traces arrive — following Latitude best practices.

There are two entry points, depending on whether you already have a Latitude account.

## The skills

All skills live in the public [`latitude-dev/skills`](https://github.com/latitude-dev/skills) repo. Most agents can install them with the `skills` CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
npx skills add https://github.com/latitude-dev/skills --skill latitude-setup,latitude-cli,latitude-telemetry,latitude-artifacts
```

| Skill | What it does |
| - | - |
| `latitude-setup` | Zero-account orchestrator: bootstrap → instrument → verify → claim. |
| `latitude-telemetry` | Adds Latitude / OpenTelemetry instrumentation to your app. |
| `latitude-cli` | Installs and drives the [`latitude` CLI](/getting-started/cli). |
| `latitude-migrate` | Moves an app from Latitude V1 (prompt manager and gateway) to V2. See [Migrate from Latitude V1](/getting-started/migrate-from-v1). |
| `latitude-artifacts` | Builds [Artifacts](/more/artifacts): self-contained HTML reports and KPI dashboards from your Latitude data, in the Latitude design language with light and dark themes. |

<Info>
  `latitude-setup` builds on `latitude-cli` and `latitude-telemetry` and ends by building a first Artifact from its own template. `latitude-artifacts` is for the reports you ask for after that, so the command above installs all four.
</Info>

## No account yet

If you don't have a Latitude account, paste this prompt into your coding agent:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
Install the `latitude-setup` skill from `github.com/latitude-dev/skills`, and use it to add Latitude tracing to this app following best practices.
```

The `latitude-setup` skill orchestrates the whole zero-account flow:

1. Installs the [`latitude` CLI](/getting-started/cli) and the Latitude skills.
2. **Bootstraps a temporary account** — no signup — with an API key and a project.
3. Instruments your app (via the `latitude-telemetry` skill) against that project.
4. Runs your real code and inspects the resulting traces, iterating until they look right.
5. Cleans up the trace noise and hands you a **claim link**.
6. Builds your first [Artifact](/more/artifacts), an HTML page showing what the telemetry captured from the verified session, with a button to claim the workspace, and hands it back with the claim link.

Open the claim link in your browser to take ownership of the temporary account and keep it. Unclaimed temporary accounts expire automatically.

<Info>
  The skill presents a plan and waits for your approval before it edits any code, and it never prints your API key in the chat.
</Info>

## Already have an account

If you're already signed in, skip the temporary account and point the agent straight at your existing project:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
Install the `latitude-telemetry` skill from `github.com/latitude-dev/skills`, and use it to add Latitude tracing to this app following best practices.
```

Give the agent your `LATITUDE_API_KEY` and `LATITUDE_PROJECT_SLUG` when it asks — or connect the [MCP server](/getting-started/mcp) so it can look them up — and it will instrument your app and verify traces the same way.

***

Once traces are flowing, head to the [telemetry guides](/telemetry/start-tracing) for provider-specific details, the [CLI](/getting-started/cli) and [MCP server](/getting-started/mcp) pages to keep driving Latitude from your terminal or agent, or [Artifacts](/more/artifacts) to turn that data into reports and dashboards without opening the web app.
