# Installation

Skills are installed in AI applications that support custom instructions or skill files.

### Claude Code

Run these two commands in your terminal:

```bash
/plugin marketplace add blotoutio/skills
/plugin install blotout@blotoutio
```

This installs all three skills (EdgeTag, ConsentIQ, Edge Lake) at once. Claude Code will automatically use the relevant skill based on your questions.

### Claude Cowork

2. Select **Plugins** > **Add Plugin**
3. Click the **Personal** tab
4. Click **+** and select **Add marketplace from GitHub**
5. Enter `blotoutio/skills` and click **Sync**

After syncing, the EdgeTag skills will be available in your conversations.

### Other AI applications

We support multiple AI applications including Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. Installation steps vary by app. Check our GitHub repository for the latest instructions for your specific app:

### Skills + MCP

Skills and MCP work together. MCP provides the tools to access live data, while skills provide the knowledge to use those tools effectively. For the best experience, install both:

1. Add the EdgeTag MCP server ([installation guide](https://docs.edgetag.io/mcp/installation/overview))
2. Add the EdgeTag skills (above)

With both installed, your AI assistant can not only query your data but also help you implement, debug, and optimize your EdgeTag setup.
