Add agent skills
Agent skills give your agentic terminal domain-specific knowledge about Wherobots so it produces more accurate commands and better interprets results. Without skills, the agent relies only on CLI help text and its general training data. With skills installed, it has structured context about Wherobots workflows, APIs, and best practices — leading to fewer errors, less back-and-forth, and more reliable multi-step operations. See Agent Skills for installation instructions and the full list of available skills.Benefits
