Building agents, skills, and applets
Creating agents, writing and sharing skills, building applets, the API, and the marketplace as a starting point.
- How do I create an agent?From a template or from scratch: give it a name, instructions, model settings, skills, workspaces, and connections.
- How do I write and share a skill?A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and supporting files. Every save is a numbered version; visibility goes personal, workspace, then organization.
- How do skills get better over time?Runs are scored against your rubrics, Context proposes improved skill versions from what worked, and a person approves before anything ships.
- How do I build an applet?With the context-cli applet pipeline: scaffold, iterate on a draft, and deploy a single self-contained HTML file with shared state and optional backend functions.
- Is there an API?Yes. A REST Task API dispatches work to agents (files, runs, results, cancel, webhooks), a read-only Evals API exposes scores and traces, and an MCP server exposes workspace tools.
- What kinds of API keys exist?Agent keys authenticate as an agent; task keys dispatch work with capability scopes; paired CLI keys belong to one device. Secrets are shown once and every key can be revoked.
- How do I revoke one laptop's CLI access?Each paired device holds its own named key. Revoke that key in the workspace and only that device loses access.
- What is in the marketplace?Prebuilt agents across nine industries, templates, applets, skills, and a catalog of 180+ integrations, as starting points you adapt to your process.
