What skills are

Agent Skills are packaged instructions and scripts that an AI coding agent loads when a task calls for them. The Arize AX self-hosted skills give your agent the steps and guarded commands for installing and operating a self-hosted cluster. The agent confirms with you before it changes anything in your cluster. They follow the open Agent Skills format, so they work with Claude Code and other agents that support it, including Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf.
These skills are for operating a self-hosted install. For skills that run Arize AX workflows such as tracing, datasets, and experiments, see Arize Skills.

Install the skills

Give your coding agent this prompt:
Or install them yourself:
The installer detects your agent and lets you choose which skills to add. For the git clone installer, prerequisites, and environment variables, see the repository README.

Available skills

Running a skill with Claude Code

Once a skill is installed, run it as a slash command inside Claude Code, or start Claude Code with the skill directly from your terminal.

Install Arize AX

From your terminal, in the directory where you unpacked the Arize AX distribution archive:
Or, inside an open Claude Code session:

Troubleshoot firing alerts

From your terminal, with kubectl pointed at the cluster running Arize AX and ARIZE_DISTRIBUTION_ROOT set to the unpacked distribution for your release:
You can describe the problem when you start the skill to give your agent a head start:
You can also ask in plain language, for example: “Use the arize-alerts-troubleshoot skill to diagnose the alerts currently firing on my cluster.”
