Atlas Agent Skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot

The Atlas agent skills teach coding agents to manage database schemas with the Atlas CLI, from onboarding a project to CI/CD and Kubernetes.

With the skills installed, your coding agent runs the Atlas CLI for schema work: it edits the desired schema, has Atlas plan the migration, and lints and tests the change before it reports it done.

Install

Claude Code installs the skills as a plugin. Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot install them with the skills CLI, run from the root of your repository.

Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add ariga/atlas
claude plugin install atlas@ariga
OpenAI Codex
npx skills add ariga/atlas -a codex -y
Cursor
npx skills add ariga/atlas -a cursor -y
GitHub Copilot
npx skills add ariga/atlas -a github-copilot -y

Then start the onboarding skill. It sets up Atlas in your project one stage at a time, from schema as code to production, and checks each stage:

What the Skills Cover

  • atlas: migrations, linting and custom rules, testing, drift detection, Data Scripts, and Atlas Cloud status.
  • atlas-onboard: takes a project from the first scan to production.
  • A database skill for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, SQL Server, ClickHouse, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Oracle, and Spanner. The agent loads the one that matches the project.
  • atlas-action: the Atlas steps in CI/CD pipelines.
  • atlas-operator: the Atlas Kubernetes Operator.
