Skills

A skill is a short procedure for one Aave flow, written for the model rather than for a person: which tools to call, in what order, and what a finished answer has to contain.

Aave publishes one skill per flow where the tool list alone tends to leave an agent a step short. Each is a single SKILL.md in the aave/skills repository.

Skill Examples

safe-transactions

Discover, inspect, simulate, build, then hand over unsigned.

yield-analysis

Compare rates across chains and versions, against their recent range.

deleverage

Lift a health factor by simulating every route, never estimating.

account-activity

A wallet's history, with the chains the feed actually covered.

tx-confirmation

Confirm what a signed transaction did by reading the position it left.

How a Client Gets Them

As a plugin. The skills are bundled with the Aave MCP plugin, which also connects the client to https://mcp.aave.com. It is published to each provider's own marketplace, currently Claude Code and Cursor.

/plugin marketplace add aave/skills/plugin install aave-mcp@aave

From the repository. An agent that loads skills from a directory can take the SKILL.md files from aave/skills as they are.

Using a Skill

Nothing has to be invoked by name.

Install the plugin, which connects the client to https://mcp.aave.com and loads the skills. Getting Started covers connecting a client on its own.
Ask in plain language. "Get my health factor up on Aave", "did my supply go through". A client with skill support loads the matching procedure.
Review and sign. Skills change which reads happen and what an answer covers. They grant nothing: every state change is still an unsigned transaction your own wallet approves, as described in Safety.

Contributing

The skills are maintained in aave/skills. Proposals and corrections are welcome there.
