Agent skill

Give your coding agent the skill to set up the CLI, verify its API key, and operate Machines.

Install with the skills CLI

npx skills add https://docs.dedaluslabs.ai --skill dedalus-machines

Select your agent when prompted, then ask it to use dedalus-machines. The skill is hosted on the Dedalus docs domain. Installation does not require access to a private GitHub repository.

Download directly

Read SKILL.md, or download it without Node.js or the skills CLI:

curl -fsSL https://docs.dedaluslabs.ai/.well-known/skills/dedalus-machines/skill.md -o SKILL.md

Attach the file to your agent and ask: "Follow this skill to use Dedalus Machines." Provide your API key through DEDALUS_API_KEY in the agent's environment. Never put the key in the skill file.

Your API key identifies your organization. Leave DEDALUS_ORG_ID and --dedalus-org-id unset for ordinary setup, even if an agent asks for them. The optional X-Dedalus-Org-Id header must match the key's organization.

API address

DCS requests use https://dcs.dedaluslabs.ai. Set the address in the agent's shell:

export DEDALUS_BASE_URL=https://dcs.dedaluslabs.ai

If the agent starts a separate shell, make sure it inherits this variable and DEDALUS_API_KEY. You can also pass --base-url https://dcs.dedaluslabs.ai on each command, including SSH.
