Install the Paradoc agent skill into Claude Code or Claude.ai for inline guidance while building with Paradoc
The Paradoc agent skill is a static reference package that teaches AI coding assistants how to use Paradoc. Once installed, your assistant has inline knowledge of every Paradoc surface (SDK, CLI, raw schemas, MCP) and end-to-end workflows for creating new forms or converting PDFs — without needing to read the docs site mid-task.
The skill is loaded on demand: only relevant references are pulled into the context window when the assistant works on a Paradoc task.
What's covered
The skill ships with three categories of references:
| Category | Files | What they cover |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | sdk, cli, schemas, mcp | How to express things on each surface — TypeScript SDK, para CLI, raw JSON/YAML, hosted MCP |
| Topic | artifacts, fields, parties, annexes, logic, layers, rendering, serialization, instructions, pdf-bindings | Canonical concept knowledge — surface-agnostic |
| Workflow | workflow-create-form, workflow-convert-pdf | Staged interactive pipelines |
Installation
npx skills add https://github.com/paradoc-dev/skills --skill paradocOnce installed, the skill activates automatically when Claude Code detects Paradoc-related work — @paradoc/* imports, the para CLI, JSON/YAML artifacts, or mcp.paradoc.dev.
To install manually:
git clone https://github.com/paradoc-dev/skills.git
cp -r skills/skills/paradoc ~/.claude/skills/Add the skill to your project knowledge:
- Clone the skills repo
- Upload
skills/paradoc/SKILL.mdand any relevant references fromskills/paradoc/references/to your Claude.ai project knowledge
The skill follows the Agent Skills specification, so it works with any agent that supports the spec (Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, etc.).
git clone https://github.com/paradoc-dev/skills.gitPoint your agent's skill loader at skills/skills/paradoc/SKILL.md.
Pairing with MCP
The skill and the hosted MCP server are complementary — install both for the strongest setup:
| Skill | MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Provides | Static reference and workflow guidance | Runtime tools (validate, fill, render, search) |
| Loaded | On demand by the agent | Connected as a tool server |
| Best for | Writing code, designing artifacts, debugging | Browsing the registry, rendering live artifacts |
