What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are structured knowledge files that give AI coding assistants expert-level understanding of a specific SDK or tool. Instead of relying on training data that may be outdated or incomplete, your AI reads the skill files directly — getting accurate API signatures, working code examples, and best practices.

The Problem​

AI coding assistants are trained on public data, but that data has limitations:

  • Outdated APIs — training data may reference deprecated methods or old package versions
  • Missing context — the AI doesn't know your project's specific Unlayer configuration
  • Hallucinated patterns — without precise knowledge, AI may generate plausible-looking but broken code
  • Generic advice — responses lack Unlayer-specific best practices like email-safe HTML or proper design JSON handling

The Solution​

Unlayer Agent Skills solve this by providing your AI assistant with authoritative, version-current documentation as context. When you install the skills into your project, your AI coding tool reads them automatically before generating responses.

The result: instead of guessing, your AI assistant produces code that follows Unlayer's actual API, uses the correct package versions, and applies proven patterns for common tasks like save/load, export, and custom tools.

Available Skills​

Unlayer provides five skills organized as a router and four domain-specific sub-skills:

  • unlayer (Router) — the main entry point that automatically delegates your question to the right sub-skill
  • unlayer-integration — framework setup for React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript, including component mounting, editor access patterns, and multiple instances
  • unlayer-custom-tools — building custom drag-and-drop content blocks with renderers, exporters, property editors, and validators
  • unlayer-export — exporting HTML, PDF, images, and ZIP; saving and loading design JSON; auto-save patterns; Cloud API
  • unlayer-config — feature flags, appearance, merge tags, HMAC security, file storage, localization, and validation

Supported AI Tools​

Skills work with any AI coding assistant that supports custom context files, including:
