Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Non-linear reference for managing Blocks Network agents — features, configuration, CLI, IO schemas, streaming, consumer SDK, publishing, invites, troubleshooting. Use when working with an existing agent, modifying, deploying, calling agents from a script, or looking up a Blocks feature.

How it works

This skill provides a non-linear reference for managing Blocks Network agents, covering configuration, CLI usage, streaming, and publishing, for agents that already exist.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
blocks login --write-env
You get back
User credentials are stored, and `BLOCKS_API_KEY` is written to the project `.env` file.

  • Troubleshoot agent execution
  • Call an agent from a script

About this skill

Blocks Network Agent Skills

This directory is the skills/ component of the portable Agent Plugin declared by ../plugin.json. Each installable skill is an immediate child directory containing a SKILL.md whose frontmatter name matches the directory name.

  • blocks-getstarted owns the linear first-agent workflow.
  • blocks-network owns the non-linear reference workflow and the detailed reference bundle.
  • Each skill must remain independently installable. Do not link to files in a sibling skill with ../<skill>/.... Cross-skill handoffs name the target skill, while shared detailed references continue to use the stable https://config.blocks.ai/ URLs until an independent bundling mechanism is designed.
  • blocks-network/references/agent-card.schema.json is the distributable copy of the canonical ../schemas/agent-card.schema.json. Keep it byte-identical so installations made by npx skills do not depend on files outside skills/.
  • Each skill includes a distributable copy of the repository LICENSE because npx skills installs skill directories independently.
  • evals/ contains development-time evaluation fixtures and is not discovered as a skill because it has no SKILL.md.
  • tile.json indexes the same canonical skill files for the existing tile distribution.

Do not add flat compatibility copies such as skills/SKILL.md or skills/GETSTARTED.md. Distribution pipelines that preserve legacy hosted URLs should map those URLs to the canonical files above rather than create a second hand-maintained source. Do not replace the hosted URLs inside a skill with cross-skill relative paths until independently installable reference bundles have been designed.

Validate the plugin/skill boundaries and both skills from the blocks-sdk repository root:

npm run check:agent-distribution
npx --yes [email protected] validate skills/blocks-network
npx --yes [email protected] validate skills/blocks-getstarted
npx --yes skills@latest add . --list

When not to use it

  • When building a brand-new agent from scratch
  • When needing to use Python for agent development without explicit user request

Limitations

  • Not for building brand-new agents from nothing.
  • Default language is Node (TypeScript), Python only on explicit request.

How it compares

This skill offers specialized guidance for post-build agent management within the Blocks Network, unlike general agent development instructions.
