Wix Skills

An AI agent does better work on a platform when it has explicit, reusable instructions for that platform's workflows, instead of improvising from general knowledge. Agent Skills is an open specification for packaging exactly that, a self-contained set of instructions an AI agent can load and follow for a specific kind of task.

Wix maintains a set of these, called Wix Skills. Each one teaches an AI agent how to carry out a Wix development or management task, like building an app extension with the Wix CLI or managing a business solution through the REST APIs. You spend less time explaining the platform. Because they follow the open specification, the same skill works in any agent that supports the standard.

Skills pair naturally with the Wix MCP. A skill supplies the how, the procedure for a task, while the MCP supplies live access to the docs and APIs the procedure relies on. Used together, your agent both knows the right steps and can act on them.

How skills work

Each skill is a SKILL.md file with 3 parts:

• Name and description: Tell the AI agent what the skill does and when to use it, so it can pick the right skill for your request.
• Instructions: Give the step-by-step guidance for performing the task.
• Optional resources: Bundle supporting scripts, documentation, and assets the agent can draw on.

When you prompt your agent, it matches your request against the descriptions of the skills it has loaded, then follows the chosen skill's instructions. Because a skill is just text and assets in a known format, it travels with your project and works the same way wherever it's loaded.

Available skills

The Wix Skills repository hosts skills for different development workflows. For example:

• Building app extensions with the Wix CLI: The wix-app skill supports app development end to end, from generating dashboard, backend, and site extensions through verifying, building, and deploying the project.
• Building headless projects: The wix-headless skill builds a Wix-managed headless project from a single prompt, or connects an existing project to Wix Headless for hosting and business solutions.
• Managing business solutions with the REST APIs: The wix-manage skill helps your agent perform operations against Wix business solutions, like working with Stores, Bookings, or CRM data.

See the repository for the current set.

Install and use skills

You can add Wix Skills in a few ways:

• With the Wix Plugin: The Wix Plugin installs Wix Skills together with the Wix MCP in a single step, setting up your agent for both at once.
• With the skills installer: Run npx skills add wix/skills to add them to a project, or install them globally to make them available everywhere.
• Automatically in CLI projects: New Wix CLI projects include the relevant Wix Skills by default. Add them to an existing project with wix skills add, and keep them current with wix skills update.
