Estuary Agent Skills

Set up Estuary data pipelines through your AI assistant. No docs to stitch together, no flowctl commands to remember.

Ask your AI to "capture my Postgres into Snowflake" or "why is this materialization failing?" — these skills give it everything it needs to run the right commands, build the right specs, and explain the gotchas.

Works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools via the open SKILL.md standard.
