# Agent Skills

Oxylabs Agent Skills (`skills.md`) teach LLMs and AI coding assistants how to configure and interact with Oxylabs products.

Agent Skills for Oxylabs proxies will help your model generate accurate connection strings, handle entry nodes, and apply geo-targeting parameters without syntax or parameter hallucinations.

### Other agents (generic)

For other agents and custom environments, load the repository into your project workspace via the standard skills CLI:

```
npx skills add https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills.git
```

## Configuration

All Oxylabs Agent Skills authenticate via environment variables defined in a `.env` file. To use proxy skills, add these keys to your `.env` file:

| Variable          | Description                         |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `OXY_DC_USERNAME` | Your Oxylabs proxy user `username`. |
| `OXY_DC_PASSWORD` | Your Oxylabs proxy user `password`. |

## How to use

Once the skill is active in your workspace, you can prompt your AI assistant to build custom solutions using Oxylabs proxies.

* **Example 1:** "Write a Python script using `requests` to fetch `target-url.com` through Oxylabs Residential Proxies with `US` geo-targeting."
* **Example 2:** "Create a Node.js script using `axios` that rotates proxy sessions for every request using my Oxylabs credentials."

## Supported proxy networks
