# AI Agents

> Use Boundless with AI coding agents like Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and other LLM-powered tools.

AI coding agents can use Boundless more effectively when they have access to structured skill files that describe the product's capabilities, workflows, and common patterns.

Boundless publishes a [skill.md](https://docs.boundless.network/skill.md) file following the [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io) specification. This file gives agents structured context about:

* **Requestor workflows** — submitting proof requests, configuring offers, tracking fulfillment
* **Prover workflows** — setting up nodes, configuring Bento and Broker, depositing collateral
* **SDK and CLI usage** — common commands, environment variables, storage providers
* **Decision guidance** — when to use Groth16 vs aggregated proofs, onchain vs offchain submission
* **Common gotchas** — free RPC failures, journal size limits, collateral requirements

## Add Boundless to your agent

Install the Boundless skill into your AI agent's context using the [skills CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/skills):

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add https://docs.boundless.network
```

This fetches the `skill.md` from Boundless and adds it to your agent's context, so it can help you build on Boundless with accurate, up-to-date guidance.

## Monorepo skills

The [Boundless monorepo](https://github.com/boundless-xyz/boundless) also includes task-specific skills in [`.claude/skills/`](https://github.com/boundless-xyz/boundless/tree/main/.claude/skills) that provide deeper, step-by-step guidance for common workflows:

| Skill                                                                                                | Description                                                                                                |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`requesting`](https://github.com/boundless-xyz/boundless/tree/main/.claude/skills/requesting)       | Submit a proof request end-to-end — wallet setup, CLI install, deposit, submit, poll, and proof retrieval. |
| [`setup-prover`](https://github.com/boundless-xyz/boundless/tree/main/.claude/skills/setup-prover)   | Deploy and manage a Boundless prover on a GPU server using Ansible.                                        |
| [`boundless-cli`](https://github.com/boundless-xyz/boundless/tree/main/.claude/skills/boundless-cli) | Complete reference for the Boundless CLI — requestor, prover, and rewards commands.                        |

These skills are automatically available to agents working inside the Boundless monorepo (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor). When you clone the repo, your agent can read the skill files directly.

<Tip>
  If you're using [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), the skills in `.claude/skills/` are loaded automatically when relevant. Just ask Claude to help you set up a prover or submit a proof request.

## What agents can help with

Here are some example prompts to try with your AI agent after adding the Boundless skill:

**For requestors:**

```
Help me submit my first proof request on Boundless using the CLI
```

```
I have a RISC Zero guest program — walk me through requesting a proof on Boundless
```

**For provers:**

```
Help me set up a Boundless prover on my GPU server
```

```
My broker isn't picking up requests — help me troubleshoot
```

**For developers:**

```
How do I use Steel to read EVM state in my guest program?
```

```
What's the difference between Groth16 and aggregated proofs?
```
