Ink Skills

Agent skill for Ink — a cloud platform designed for AI agents to deploy and manage services autonomously. It makes deployments simple enough that fully autonomous agents can handle the entire lifecycle: create, deploy, monitor, and scale services without human intervention.

Installation

Claude Code

npx skills add mldotink/ink-skill

Or via the Claude Code plugin manager:

claude plugin install ink

OpenClaw

Copy the skill to your managed skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/mldotink/ink-skill /tmp/ink-skill-install
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills
cp -r /tmp/ink-skill-install/skills/ink ~/.openclaw/skills/ink
rm -rf /tmp/ink-skill-install

Or add the repo as an extra skills directory in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "skills": {
    "load": {
      "extraDirs": ["/path/to/ink-skill/skills"]
    }
  }
}

Setup

1. Get an API key from the Ink dashboard or under Settings > Agent Keys
2. Install the Ink CLI if you do not already have it:

   npm install -g @mldotink/cli
   # or
   brew install mldotink/tap/ink

3. Set the environment variable:

   export INK_API_KEY=dk_live_your_key_here

Or run ink login after installing the CLI.

Skill surface

This repo ships one installable skill:

• ink — Deploy apps, manage services, databases, DNS, custom domains, and workspaces on Ink

The skill uses the Ink CLI (@mldotink/cli). If you use the hosted installer script, it now prints CLI install commands when ink is missing.

Usage

Once installed, just ask your agent to deploy or manage infrastructure:

• "Deploy my app to Ink"
• "List my services"
• "Create a database and deploy my app with it"
• "Add a custom domain to my service"
• "Deploy my frontend and backend as a full-stack app"
• "Scale my service to 1Gi memory"
