AI Agent Skills

Swarm Quickstart Skills is a set of interactive guides ("skills") that run inside Claude Code. Instead of copying commands from the docs by hand, the skills check your prerequisites first, run real commands against your Bee node, and explain what is happening at each step. Type /swarm and you are routed to the right next step for your current setup — installing a node, buying a postage stamp, uploading files, or scaffolding a dApp.

Requirements

• Claude Code
• Node.js 18+
• A running Bee light node at http://localhost:1633 (for most skills)
  • The easiest way to install is to run /swarm in Claude Code, which installs and starts a light node for you.
  • Alternatively, check out the quick start

Install

Clone the repo and copy the .claude/ folder into your project:

git clone https://github.com/ethersphere/swarm-quickstart-skills.git
cp -r swarm-quickstart-skills/.claude/ /path/to/your-project/

Then open Claude Code in your project and start with the entry point:

cd your-project && claude

Type /swarm to begin. See the swarm-quickstart-skills repository for the full list of available skills.

For a programmatic alternative aimed at agents, see the swarm-mcp MCP server.
