Introduction

Skills for building AI agents, workflows, and embodied intelligence applications with the dora-rs dataflow framework.

Dora is a high-performance dataflow framework that orchestrates AI models, sensors, and actuators through declarative YAML pipelines. It's ideal for scenarios requiring real-time data flow coordination — from multi-modal AI agents to robotic systems.

Current Focus: Embodied Intelligence — combining perception, language models, and physical control.

Install Skills

Method 1: Marketplace (Recommended)

Install from Claude Code Plugin Marketplace in two steps:

# Step 1: Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add dora-rs/dora-skills

# Step 2: Install the plugin
/plugin install dora-skills@dora-skills

Note: Step 1 only adds the marketplace (plugin source). Step 2 actually installs the dora-skills plugin with all features enabled.

Method 2: NPX

Install using npx:

npx skills add dora-rs/dora-skills

Note: NPX installs skills only. For full plugin features (hooks, agents), use Method 1 or Method 3.

Method 3: Full Plugin

This method enables all features including hooks for automatic skill triggering.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dora-rs/dora-skills.git

# Launch with plugin directory
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/dora-skills

Method 4: Skills Only

This method only installs skills without hooks. You need to manually invoke skills.

# Clone and copy skills
git clone https://github.com/dora-rs/dora-skills.git
cp -r dora-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Note: Without hooks, skills won't trigger automatically. You must manually call specific skills.

Auto-Triggering Mechanism

Skills are automatically triggered through two mechanisms:

1. Hooks (hooks/hooks.json): UserPromptSubmit hook matches keywords in user messages
2. Skill Frontmatter: Each SKILL.md contains a description field with trigger keywords

Example skill frontmatter:

---
name: hub-audio
description: "Use for audio processing nodes in dora.
Triggers on: dora-microphone, dora-vad, whisper, kokoro-tts, VAD, speech-to-text..."
---

When you ask about "dora-microphone" or "speech-to-text", the appropriate skill loads automatically.
