The MDCMS Skills Pack is an installable bundle of AI-agent skills that walks a coding agent through adding MDCMS to any React-based project — from standing up a self-hosted backend to day-to-day pull/push automation. If you use Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, or any of the 40+ agents supported by skills.sh, this is the fastest way to get an agent to do the setup for you.

​
Install

# Install all nine skills into the current project
npx skills add Blazity/mdcms

# Install globally so every project sees them
npx skills add Blazity/mdcms -g

# Non-interactive (CI / scripted install)
npx skills add Blazity/mdcms -y
Installing the whole pack is recommended — the master skill delegates to the focused skills by slug. See the skills.sh CLI reference for --copy, --skill, --agent, and update/remove commands.

What’s in the pack

SkillPurpose
mdcms-setupMaster orchestrator. Detects repo state and routes to the right focused skill. Start here.
mdcms-self-host-setupStand up the MDCMS backend via Docker Compose. Env, first boot, admin bootstrap.
mdcms-brownfield-initImport an existing Markdown/MDX repo into MDCMS via mdcms init --non-interactive.
mdcms-greenfield-initBootstrap MDCMS in an empty repo with a scaffolded starter.
mdcms-schema-refineAdd/edit content types, fields, references; mdcms schema sync.
mdcms-studio-embedMount <Studio /> at a catch-all route inside the host app.
mdcms-sdk-integrationFetch content with @mdcms/sdk; drafts vs published; SSR.
mdcms-mdx-componentsRegister custom MDX components so Studio preview and host SSR match.
mdcms-content-sync-workflowDay-to-day pull/push; key rotation; CI automation.

​
How to use it

Once installed, start any conversation with your agent with an intent like “set up MDCMS in this project” or “add MDCMS here.” The master skill (mdcms-setup) activates, detects whether you have a running server, existing content, and a host app, then delegates to each focused skill at the right phase. The full flow diagram and per-skill details live in the pack’s README on GitHub.

When to use skills vs. copy-paste prompts

  • Skills pack (this page) — recommended when you use one of the agents supported by skills.sh. Skills stay installed, are versioned, and delegate across setup phases.
  • Copy-paste prompts — use when you want a one-shot paste into an agent window, don’t want to install anything, or your agent isn’t supported by skills.sh.
Both paths target the same CLI contract (mdcms init --non-interactive and friends), so you can switch between them.
