Feature Request: Add official Anthropic Agent Skills for Strapi
В
Владислав Хусаинов
We've already made peace with the fact that an MCP server for your documentation is apparently too complex a task (we understand — connecting an API to a well-known open standard must be
incredibly
challenging). But hey, we've moved on. We're not holding grudges.However, since AI agents are now a very real part of how developers interact with tools like Strapi every day, there's a small, arguably minimal-effort thing you could do for your community:
Please publish official Anthropic Agent Skills for Strapi.
Agent Skills are structured instruction sets (basically a SKILL.md file in a folder) that teach AI agents — like Claude — how to work with a specific tool, API, or workflow. When a developer uses Claude Code or any Claude-based agent alongside Strapi, a published official Skill would give the AI the right context to:
- Scaffold content types correctly
- Generate Strapi-compatible REST/GraphQL queries
- Work with the Strapi plugin system
- Handle lifecycle hooks, middlewares, policies
- Navigate Strapi v5 breaking changes without hallucinating v4 patterns
Right now, AI agents working with Strapi are essentially winging it. They mix up v4 and v5 APIs, generate deprecated patterns, and confidently produce code that doesn't work. An official Skill from the Strapi team — written by people who actually know the codebase — would fix this.
The best part? Creating a Skill is genuinely easy. It's a markdown file. You can even use /skill-creator in Claude Code to generate one interactively.

A well-structured initial Skill for Strapi could realistically be written in a day or two. Possibly a few hours if the author is already familiar with the codebase (which, ideally, someone on the team is).
We're not asking for a full MCP server. We're not asking for a plugin. Just a markdown file and some goodwill.
Thank you for considering this. We believe in you. Mostly.
