Ultralytics Agent Skills#
Ultralytics Agent Skills give compatible AI coding agents instructions and reference material for working with the ultralytics Python package, the yolo CLI, and Ultralytics Platform, including automation with ul cloud. They follow the open Agent Skills format and load when a relevant task is requested.
Available Skills#
The repository contains one router, six lifecycle skills, and one Platform CLI skill:
| Skill | Use for |
|---|---|
yolo | Core Python and CLI usage, Platform workflows, and routing to the other skills |
yolo-models | Selecting model families, sizes, tasks, and weights |
yolo-datasets | Preparing, converting, validating, and troubleshooting datasets |
yolo-training | Training, validation, resumes, multi-GPU use, and troubleshooting |
yolo-tuning | Hyperparameter tuning and experiment improvement |
yolo-inference | Prediction, results, tracking, and Solutions |
yolo-export | Export, quantization, deployment formats, and benchmarking |
platform-cli | Automating Ultralytics Platform with ul cloud: resources, uploads, cloud training, exports, and deployments |
The skills include version-grounded catalogs where exact weights, arguments, or export formats matter, while deferring to the installed package when behavior differs.
Installation#
claude plugin marketplace add ultralytics/skills
claude plugin install yolo@ultralyticsOnce installed, ask the agent naturally, for example: "Export my trained YOLO model to TensorRT with INT8 quantization and benchmark it." The yolo router selects the relevant lifecycle guidance.
The platform-cli skill uses the ul CLI (Python 3.11+), included with pip install ultralytics or the standalone SDK (pip install ultralytics-platform). Try asking: "List my Ultralytics Platform datasets."
See the ultralytics/skills repository for current installation commands, source files, updates, and issue reporting.
FAQ#
They are reusable instructions and reference material that help AI coding agents work with Ultralytics Platform, the
ultralyticsPython package, theyoloCLI, and theulPlatform CLI.The repository provides plugins for Claude Code and Codex. Cursor, Gemini CLI, and other agents that read the open Agent Skills format can install the skill folders directly or through the skills CLI.
Install the complete plugin for automatic routing across the computer vision lifecycle and Platform CLI operations. To install one skill with the skills CLI, pass its name with
--skill, such as--skill yolo-trainingor--skill platform-cli.No. The skills guide an agent toward the relevant workflow, but the installed package and current Ultralytics documentation remain authoritative when behavior or supported options differ.
