LangChain Skills

⚠️ — This project is in early development. APIs and skill content may change.

Agent skills for building agents with LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents.

Want your agent to self-improve? Use langsmith-skills to observe, evaluate, and iterate on your LLM applications.

Supported Coding Agents

These skills can be installed via npx skills for any agent that supports the Agent Skills specification, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Installation

Quick Install

Using npx skills:

Local (current project):

npx skills add langchain-ai/langchain-skills --skill '*' --yes

Global (all projects):

npx skills add langchain-ai/langchain-skills --skill '*' --yes --global

To link skills to a specific agent (e.g. Claude Code):

npx skills add langchain-ai/langchain-skills --agent claude-code --skill '*' --yes --global

---

Claude Code Plugin

Install directly as a Claude Code plugin:

/plugin marketplace add langchain-ai/langchain-skills
/plugin install langchain-skills@langchain-skills

---

Install Script (Claude Code & Deep Agents CLI only)

Alternatively, clone the repo and use the install script:

# Install for Claude Code in current directory (default)
./install.sh

# Install for Claude Code in a specific project directory
./install.sh ~/my-project

# Install for Claude Code globally
./install.sh --global

# Install for Deep Agents CLI in a specific project directory
./install.sh --deepagents ~/my-project

# Install for Deep Agents CLI globally (includes agent persona)
./install.sh --deepagents --global

Flag / Argument	Description
DIRECTORY	Target project directory (default: current directory, ignored with --global)
--claude	Install for Claude Code (default)
--deepagents	Install for Deep Agents CLI
--global, -g	Install globally instead of current directory
--force, -f	Overwrite skills with same names as this package
--yes, -y	Skip confirmation prompts

Usage

After installation, set your API keys:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-key>      # For OpenAI models
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-key>   # For Anthropic models

Then run your coding agent from the directory where you installed (for local installs) or from anywhere (for global installs).
