description: Install the fern-docs agent skill to teach coding agents how to author and edit Fern Docs sites.
availability: beta
---
The `fern-docs` [agent skill](https://www.skills.sh) teaches coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and others) how to author and edit Fern Docs sites. It ships in the [`fern-api/skills`](https://github.com/fern-api/skills) repository.
+
+ Your docs site can also [host your own skills](/learn/docs/ai-features/host-skills) for your users to discover and install.
+
+
## Install
From your project, run the command for your agent:
diff --git a/fern/products/docs/pages/ai/host-skills.mdx b/fern/products/docs/pages/ai/host-skills.mdx

+title: Custom skills
+description: Serve author-supplied agent skills from your Fern docs site and configure the Install skills button.
+availability: beta
+---
+
+Fern Docs sites can serve your own [Agent Skills](https://www.skills.sh) so your users can discover and install them with the [skills CLI](https://www.skills.sh). You can also add an "Install skills" button to your docs UI that opens a modal with the install command and your skill list.
+
+
+ This is separate from installing Fern's own [`fern-docs` skill](/learn/docs/ai-features/agent-skills) into your agent.
+
+
+
+
+
+Place your skills in your `fern/` folder under `.well-known/agent-skills/` (the current v0.2.0 spec) or `.well-known/skills/` (the legacy v0.1.0 layout). Both are supported and can coexist. Each skill is a subdirectory holding at least a `SKILL.md`, with optional supporting files alongside it.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Each `SKILL.md` needs YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`, following the [Agent Skills spec](https://agentskills.io):
+
+```markdown title="fern/.well-known/agent-skills/plant-care/SKILL.md"
+---
+name: plant-care
+description: Guide for diagnosing and treating common plant diseases.
+---
+
+# Plant Care
+
+When diagnosing a plant issue, check for...
+```
+
+
+
+
+The `index.json` at the root of the skills directory is required. It enumerates every skill so clients can discover them in a single request, referencing each by `url` and `digest`:
+
+```json title="fern/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json"
+{
+ "$schema": "https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json",
+ "skills": [
+ {
+ "name": "plant-care",
+ "type": "skill-md",
+ "description": "Guide for diagnosing and treating common plant diseases.",
+ "url": "/.well-known/agent-skills/plant-care/SKILL.md",
+ "digest": "sha256:c4d5e6f7..."
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+The legacy v0.1.0 manifest lists a `files` array per skill instead of `url` and `digest`.
+
+
+
+
+Fern uploads the bundle during `fern generate --docs` and serves the files as-is — no `docs.yml` configuration is required. `fern check` validates the bundle at upload time, flagging a missing or unparseable `index.json` and any `SKILL.md` whose frontmatter doesn't conform to the spec.
+
+Once published, skills are served at:
+
+- `https://your-docs-domain.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json` (discovery manifest)
+- `https://your-docs-domain.com/.well-known/agent-skills//SKILL.md` (individual skill)
+- `https://your-docs-domain.com/.well-known/skills/index.json` (legacy v0.1.0 manifest)
+
+For sites with a basepath like `/docs`, the endpoints live under that basepath (e.g., `https://example.com/docs/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`).
+
+
+
+
+With the bundle published, anyone can install your skills with:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add https://your-docs-domain.com
+```
+
+The `https://` scheme is required: a bare domain is treated as a GitHub repository shorthand.
+
+
+
+
+Surface your skills in the docs UI by adding an "Install skills" button to the [page action bar](/learn/docs/configuration/site-level-settings#page-actions-configuration). Set `page-actions.options.skills` in `docs.yml` and the button opens a modal with a copyable install command, the list of available skills, and an optional link to the source repository.
+
+```yaml docs.yml
+page-actions:
+ options:
+ skills:

+ description: Skills for working with the Plant Store API.

+
+
+
+## Install skills properties

+## Host agent skills from your docs site
+
+Fern docs sites can now serve author-supplied [Agent Skills](https://www.skills.sh) at the standard `/.well-known/skills/` and `/.well-known/agent-skills/` endpoints. Place your skill bundle under `fern/.well-known/agent-skills/` and the CLI uploads it during `fern generate --docs`. Users install with `npx skills add https://`.

+## "Install skills" page action
+
+You can now add an "Install skills" button to the page action bar via `page-actions.options.skills` in `docs.yml`. The button opens a modal showing a copyable install command, the list of available skills, and a link to the skill source. The modal fetches the site's served well-known manifest on first open, so the skill list stays in sync with what `npx skills add` installs.
