Build with AI agents

Give a coding agent the Uploadfile skill and it can add uploads to your project with the right packages, environment, and code.

Install the skill

The skill is a single Markdown file. It tells an agent which packages to install, which environment variables to set, and which files to write for each framework, plus the mistakes to avoid.

Terminal

# Claude Code
$mkdir -p .claude/skills/uploadfile
$curl -fsSL https://www.uploadfile.dev/skills/uploadfile/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/uploadfile/SKILL.md

# Cursor
$mkdir -p .cursor/skills/uploadfile
$curl -fsSL https://www.uploadfile.dev/skills/uploadfile/SKILL.md -o .cursor/skills/uploadfile/SKILL.md

Other agents can read the same file from its URL. Save it wherever your agent loads skills, or include the link in your prompt.
