# Skills and recipes

> Use Typeroll's optional Markdown workflow recipes with your own AI agent for site building, editing, migration and SEO.

Skills are Markdown instructions that explain a workflow to your AI agent. They supplement the MCP tool descriptions: a recipe can tell the agent what to read first, which changes to make and what to verify afterward.

Typeroll’s recipes are ordinary files. Clients differ in how they discover and load skills. You can install them into a client-supported location, adapt them to its conventions or ask the agent to read a specific file. Using MCP does not require automatic skill loading or a particular AI provider.

## Install the bundled recipes

[Section titled “Install the bundled recipes”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/overview/#install-the-bundled-recipes)

```bash
npx @typeroll/mcp-server install-skills ./typeroll-skills
```

The command copies the bundled files without contacting your portal. It does not need an API key. Existing files are skipped; add `--force` only when you want to replace them. Keep custom instructions in separate files to preserve them when updating the bundled recipes.

A recipe is guidance, not a permission grant. Your agent still needs an [API or MCP connection](https://typeroll.com/docs/getting-started/mcp-server/), and its key limits which sites and actions it can access. Review changes before saving and deploying.
