# Annie Skills

> Public Claude Code plugin that teaches an AI agent how to drive the Annie CLI and the Anyshift remote MCP server.

[`anyshift-io/annie-skills`](https://github.com/anyshift-io/annie-skills) is a public Claude Code plugin from Anyshift. It packages ready-made [skills](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) that teach an AI agent how to install, authenticate, and drive every documented Anyshift surface: the [Annie CLI](/pages/product/integration/cli) for human users, and the [remote MCP server](/pages/product/integration/remote_mcp) for agent harnesses.

<Note>
  The plugin is the agent-facing companion to this documentation. The CLI and MCP pages describe what each surface does for a human or a harness; the plugin teaches a Claude Code agent when to reach for each one, how to chain the calls, and what to do when a call fails.
</Note>

## Install

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Anyshift marketplace">
    From a Claude Code session:

    ```
    /plugin marketplace add anyshift-io/claude-plugins
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the annie-skills plugin">
    ```
    /plugin install annie-skills@anyshift
    ```

    The plugin's skill descriptions self-register inside Claude Code, so the agent picks them up automatically the next time you start a session. No config edits required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also install the plugin directly from the GitHub source, see the repo's [README](https://github.com/anyshift-io/annie-skills#install) for the manual path.

| `annie` | *Shipping by end of May 2026* | Drive the [remote MCP server](/pages/product/integration/remote_mcp) end-to-end: discover resource types, search the graph, track changes, audit a single resource's timeline, inspect resources in detail, recover from auth or staleness failures, and point human users at the [Annie CLI](/pages/product/integration/cli) when they want to chat with Annie themselves. |

The plugin grows as the surface of Annie and the Anyshift MCP grows. Every skill ships with a self-contained `SKILL.md` runnable end-to-end in Claude Code, two worked examples against realistic scenarios, and an explicit failure-modes section.

## Use it from Claude Code

Once installed, describe the task in natural language and Claude Code loads the `annie` skill automatically:

```text theme={null}
Investigate the impact of yesterday's deploy on the payments stack.
```

```text theme={null}
Walk me through the timeline of vpc-prod-main this week.
```

```text theme={null}
What changed in our AWS account between yesterday at 9am and now?
```

The skill picks the right tool, chains follow-up calls, cites resources by their stable id, and synthesises the answer. The user sees a clean answer, not the JSON.

<Tip>
  The skill is read-only by design. If the user asks the agent to apply a change, the skill hands back to Terraform or your change-management flow rather than inventing write tools.
</Tip>

`annie-skills` is the **vendor-specific** layer that assumes Annie is available. `sre-skills` is the **methodology** layer that runs without Annie and pulls Annie in as optional context. They compose.
