Agent Skills

Write alova with an AI Agent (Agent Skills)

If you develop with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code / Cursor / CodeBuddy, etc.), you can install alova's Agent Skills. They teach your agent alova's official best practices, so it stops guessing and writes correct, idiomatic alova code for you.

alova ships three Agent Skills — install the one(s) that match what you're building:

Skill	For	Covers
alova-client	Client / frontend request logic	usePagination, useForm, useUploader, useWatcher, token auth, seamless interaction, and the rest of the client request strategies
alova-server	Server-side request governance	alova/server hooks: atomize, retry, createRateLimiter, and other server request strategies
worma	Projects with an OpenAPI spec	Lets your agent read your endpoints and generate type-safe call code directly

Install

Install via the skills CLI:

alova-client

npx skills add alovajs/skills --skill alova-client-usage

alova-client teaches your agent how to write client-side alova code — from a single useRequest to the full set of client request strategies.

alova-server

npx skills add alovajs/skills --skill alova-server-usage

alova-server teaches your agent the alova/server hooks for rate limiting, retries and distributed atomic requests.

worma

npx skills add alovajs/skills --skill worma-guidelines

worma gives your agent the API knowledge from your OpenAPI spec so it can find the right endpoint and generate call code. Visit worma.js.org for details.

Which should I install?

• Building a frontend / client app → alova-client
• Building server-side request governance → alova-server
• Have an OpenAPI spec and want your agent to understand your APIs → worma

You can install more than one. They work together — for example, worma supplies the API knowledge while alova-client tells the agent how to call those APIs with alova.
