Agent Skills

tRPC ships with TanStack Intent skills to help AI coding agents work with tRPC. When your agent works on a task that matches a skill mapping, the corresponding skill file is automatically loaded into context.

Setup

1. Run install

The install command guides your agent through setup:

bash

npx @tanstack/intent@latest install

This prints a prompt that instructs your AI agent to configure itself to access the skills shipped in tRPC and your other installed packages.

2. Use skills in your workflow

When your agent works on a task that matches a mapping, it automatically loads the corresponding SKILL.md into context to guide implementation.

3. Keep skills up-to-date

Skills version with library releases. When you update a library (e.g. npm update @trpc/server), the new version brings updated skills automatically. The skills are shipped with the library, so you always get the version that matches your installed code.

To see what skills are available:

bash

npx @tanstack/intent@latest list

To check if any skills reference outdated source documentation:

bash

npx @tanstack/intent@latest stale

4. Submit feedback (optional)

After using a skill, you can submit feedback to help maintainers improve it:

bash

npx @tanstack/intent@latest meta feedback-collection

This prints a prompt that guides your agent to collect structured feedback about gaps, errors, and improvements.
