Skills

For humans setting up an agent. The skills themselves (the markdown files the agent fetches) are what the agent actually reads and follows — this page is the install + scheduling guide for the person wiring them up.

Pre-built skills that compose Zora CLI commands into repeatable workflows — an onboarding flow for first-time setup, plus ongoing-automation skills spanning trading, social, and reporting. Each skill is a markdown prompt file an agent follows step-by-step — ship it to Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, openclaw, hermes, or any LLM that can read markdown and invoke shell commands.

When installed, each skill lands in the agent's skills directory as <harness>/skills/zora-<name>/SKILL.md (e.g. .claude/skills/zora-copy-trader/SKILL.md), so the command is namespaced with a zora- prefix (e.g. /zora-copy-trader).

The onboarding skill (/zora-onboarding) is one-shot: run it once during first-time setup. Every other skill runs a single iteration per invocation and persists state to a local JSON file — re-invoke to run the next cycle, or use the agent's native scheduling (see Scheduling below).

Global spending budget

Each trading skill has its own per-skill caps, but the agent can also set a global, wallet-level spending budget — a single USD ceiling on total spend across all skills. Trading skills check it before every buy and record each spend against it, so no combination of skills can exceed the shared cap. Set it during onboarding (a conscious choice the operator makes) or any time with zora agent budget:

# Cap total spend at $250/week across all skills...
npx @zoralabs/cli agent budget set 250 --period weekly
# ...or opt out explicitly (the full wallet balance can be spent)
npx @zoralabs/cli agent budget set --no-limit

Prerequisites

Skills invoke the Zora CLI. No install required — use it via npx:

npx @zoralabs/cli --version

Run npx @zoralabs/cli setup once to configure a wallet. To avoid the npx prefix, install globally: npm install -g @zoralabs/cli.

Install

The easiest way — the CLI detects your agent (.claude, .cursor, .windsurf, .openclaw, .hermes) and writes the skill to that harness's skills directory as zora-<name>/SKILL.md:

npx @zoralabs/cli skills add onboarding     # install one (→ /zora-onboarding)
npx @zoralabs/cli skills add --all          # install all of them
npx @zoralabs/cli skills list               # see what's available

Override auto-detection with --agent claude|cursor|windsurf|openclaw|hermes or --dir <path>.

Prefer a prompt-only install?

If you'd rather have your agent fetch the skills on demand, paste this into CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, or whatever system-prompt file the agent reads:

The agent fetches each file on first use and runs the skill when invoked.

Scheduling

Skills run once per invocation. To poll on an interval, use the scheduler for the agent:

Claude Code — /loop 30m /zora-copy-trader invokes the skill every 30 minutes
Cursor / Windsurf — use their scheduled task / cron-equivalent to re-invoke the skill command
Cron / shell — script a shell loop or cron entry that runs zora commands directly using the skill file as a reference
Manual — just re-invoke the skill when you want the next cycle

State persists in files like .copy-trader-state.json in the working directory, so each invocation picks up where the last left off. Add these patterns to .gitignore to avoid committing them.
