Coding agents author px workspaces well when they know the file model, the concept
kinds, the datasource rules, and the schemas. px skill install gives them exactly that —
generated from the installed px, so it always matches your version and needs no repo to clone.
The flow is: install px → add the skill → profit.
What it installs
The skill is generated from the same bundled schemas and curated guide that px validate
enforces, so it can’t drift from what the CLI accepts.
Claude Code (global)
Claude Code (per-repo)
Cursor
Writes ~/.claude/skills/prometheux/:
SKILL.md — the authoring guide + command reference
reference/schemas.md — the field-by-field schema reference
reference/*.schema.json — the raw JSON Schemas
Reload skills or restart Claude Code to pick it up. Writes ./.claude/skills/prometheux/ so the skill is committed alongside a specific
workspace. Writes ./.cursor/rules/prometheux.mdc — an ontology rule with the schema reference
inlined. (Cursor has no global on-demand skill primitive, so this is per-ontology.)
Install several at once by repeating -t:
When it activates
The skill’s description triggers it whenever you work on Vadalog, Prometheux concepts /
ontologies / datasources / apps, lineage-as-code, the context layer, or any px command.
You don’t invoke it manually — the agent pulls it in when the task matches.
What the agent can then do
With the skill installed, an agent drives the same loop you would:
Keep the skill current after upgrading px: run px skill install --force again to
regenerate it from the new version’s schemas.
Refreshing / removing
- Refresh:
px skill install --force overwrites an existing install.
- Remove: delete the installed path (
~/.claude/skills/prometheux/,
./.claude/skills/prometheux/, or ./.cursor/rules/prometheux.mdc).
Interactive access via MCP (optional)
The skill teaches file-based authoring. For interactive in-chat operations (list, run,
or query concepts without files), you can also connect your agent to the platform’s
MCP server — e.g. Claude Code
or Cursor. The two compose: MCP for interactive ops, px (with
the skill) for file-based authoring and deploy. Neither requires the other.
