Cloud Platform AI Skills enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor, to operate Cloud Platform products. These skills translate and execute natural language intent into precise command-line interface (CLI).

Skills available for Cloud Platform

• Manage environments and applications.

• Deploy code and synchronize databases.

• Trigger builds and stream logs to diagnose failures.

• Manage Drupal dependencies and security updates.

• Manage Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and developer workflows.

Using skills 

To use skills:

1. To add Skills to your environment, do one of the following:

   • Run the following command in the command line tool:

     copy

     npx skills add acquia/acquia-skills

   • Locate the skill file for the product in the official GitHub repository.
2. Load the file by attaching or referencing the Skills file in the context of the AI agent. For example, use @ in Cursor or upload the file to a Claude project.
3. Execute commands using natural language. For example, Deploy my branch to staging and alert me if the pipeline fails.

Safety and human confirmation 

Security is a priority. Every irreversible operation, such as database copies and production deployments, contains safety gates. Customers must ensure that agents do not perform irreversible actions without user consent. Skills do not enforce this requirement.

Technical specifications

• Compatibility: Works with any agent that supports plain-text or Markdown.
• Authentication: Agents use existing local credentials. Skills do not store or manage API keys.
• Maintenance: Acquia updates skills in synchronization with product releases to ensure compatibility with the latest CLI versions.
