Agent Skills
tRPC ships with TanStack Intent skills to help AI coding agents work with tRPC. When your agent works on a task that matches a skill mapping, the corresponding skill file is automatically loaded into context.
Setup
1. Run install
The install command guides your agent through setup:
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest install
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest install
This prints a prompt that instructs your AI agent to configure itself to access the skills shipped in tRPC and your other installed packages.
2. Use skills in your workflow
When your agent works on a task that matches a mapping, it automatically loads the corresponding SKILL.md into context to guide implementation.
3. Keep skills up-to-date
Skills version with library releases. When you update a library (e.g. npm update @trpc/server), the new version brings updated skills automatically. The skills are shipped with the library, so you always get the version that matches your installed code.
To see what skills are available:
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest list
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest list
To check if any skills reference outdated source documentation:
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest stale
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest stale
4. Submit feedback (optional)
After using a skill, you can submit feedback to help maintainers improve it:
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest meta feedback-collection
bashnpx @tanstack/intent@latest meta feedback-collection
This prints a prompt that guides your agent to collect structured feedback about gaps, errors, and improvements.
