CLI Installer

The CLI installer is the recommended way to install MAGIC Data Agent Skills. It supports 30+ AI coding tools with interactive setup and auto-detection.

Quick Start

# Interactive — auto-detects tools in your project
npx @votee-ai/magic-data-agent-skills init

# Non-interactive — specify tools directly
npx @votee-ai/magic-data-agent-skills init --tools claude,cursor,windsurf

# Install for all supported tools
npx @votee-ai/magic-data-agent-skills init --tools all

Or install globally for repeated use:

npm install -g @votee-ai/magic-data-agent-skills
magic-data-agent-skills init --tools claude

What Gets Installed

For each selected tool, the installer copies:

12 skill packages — each with SKILL.md, scripts/, and references/ directories
13 slash commands — adapted to each tool's native command format
magic-data-agent-skills.json — config file saved in your project root to track installed tools

Skills are placed in the tool's configuration directory (e.g., .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/) where the agent discovers them automatically.

Options

Flag	Description
`--tools <list>`	Comma-separated tool names, or `all` for all 30 tools
`--force`	Reinstall over an existing installation
`--skills <list>`	Install only specific skills (comma-separated skill names)
`--global`	Install to home directory (`~/.magic/skills/`) for cross-project use

Managing Your Installation

# Global install (available across all projects)

After Installation

Verify the installation by asking your AI assistant:

"What MAGIC data skills do you have available?"

The agent should list the 12 installed skills. You can also check which tools are configured:

cat magic-data-agent-skills.json

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+ — required for the CLI installer
Python 3.12+ — required for skill scripts

After installing skills, install the Python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The requirements.txt is included in each skill's directory and covers all required packages.
