Agent skills

Esri developer agent skills Esri developer agent skills are reusable instructions that provide contextual guidance for agents to perform AI-assisted ArcGIS development tasks. Learn more provide agent skills for the agentic developer toolkit. They are designed to work with the Esri MCP server for developer documentation The Esri MCP server for developer documentation is a core component of the ArcGIS agentic developer toolkit. It is hosted by Esri and provides tools that allow AI agents to search and retrieve official ArcGIS developer resources. Learn more . The skills provide guidance and instructions for development tasks with ArcGIS technologies, SDKs, APIs, and supported open source libraries. They can also help an agent apply best practices when building applications.

Agent skills for developers are grouped into the following categories:

Core skills
SDK/API skills
