Agent skills

Coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and many others) can load specialized skills — instruction packages that teach the agent every kite / dhan command group, the --json --no-color contract, and live-trading guardrails.

Source of truth

Skill	Owns the skill package	Layout
kite-cli	ssswagatss/kite-cli	skills/kite-cli/
dhan-cli	ssswagatss/dhan-cli	skills/dhan-cli/

On push to main, each project syncs its skill to the public dist repo so installers without private-repo access still work.

Install

Prefer the public dist packages (no private GitHub access required):

Kite CLI skill

npx skills add ssswagatss/kite-cli-dist --skill kite-cli

Global, all agents:

npx skills add ssswagatss/kite-cli-dist --skill kite-cli -g --agent '*' -y

Dhan CLI skill

npx skills add ssswagatss/dhan-cli-dist --skill dhan-cli

Global, all agents:

npx skills add ssswagatss/dhan-cli-dist --skill dhan-cli -g --agent '*' -y

From source repos

If you have access to the private source repositories:

npx skills add ssswagatss/kite-cli --skill kite-cli
npx skills add ssswagatss/dhan-cli --skill dhan-cli

List without installing:

npx skills add ssswagatss/kite-cli-dist --list
npx skills add ssswagatss/dhan-cli-dist --list

Update later:

npx skills update kite-cli
npx skills update dhan-cli

What you get

Skill	Binary	Covers
kite-cli	kite	Auth, portfolio, orders, GTT, alerts, instruments, quotes, historical, margins, charges, MF (read-only)
dhan-cli	dhan	Auth, account, portfolio, orders, super, control, IP whitelist, global stocks, instruments, raw, …

Both skills enforce:

• Prefer --json --no-color for every agent call.
• Never invent live trades; use operator payload files.
• No retry loops on auth/API/static-IP errors.
• Re-check live flags with kite|dhan <cmd> --help when unsure.

Pair with the binary

Skills teach the agent; they do not install the CLI itself.

# Binary
curl -fsSL https://cli.jorli.in/install/kite.sh | sh
curl -fsSL https://cli.jorli.in/install/dhan.sh | sh

# Skill (public)
npx skills add ssswagatss/kite-cli-dist --skill kite-cli -g --agent '*' -y
npx skills add ssswagatss/dhan-cli-dist --skill dhan-cli -g --agent '*' -y

Windows binary install: see Install.
