# Skills

> Context bundles for AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code.

A DZap skill is a markdown bundle that teaches coding assistants how DZap APIs actually work.

Skills improve generated code quality by reducing wrong methods, stale signatures, and invented endpoints.

## What a skill includes

* Endpoint and method reference
* Expected parameter/response shapes
* Example request/response payloads
* Common integration patterns

## Skill vs tool vs MCP

| Layer     | Lives in        | Timing     | Driven by          |
| --------- | --------------- | ---------- | ------------------ |
| **Skill** | Editor          | Write-time | Developer          |
| **Tool**  | Runtime         | Run-time   | Agent              |
| **MCP**   | Client + server | Either     | Developer or agent |

## Install pattern

Skills are markdown bundles from GitHub and can be linked into editor-specific skill folders. See each skill page for exact commands.

## Why skills are separate from MCP

* Skills are static context for code generation.
* MCP provides live runtime tool execution.
* Using both gives the best developer experience.
