Set up
Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.
The download comes from github.com/hex-inc/hex-skills itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.
Install instructions come from the README
README
synced Oct 26, 2026hex-skills
Agent skills for working with Hex. Each skill lives in skills/ and can be
installed individually via Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or other agents that support the Agent Skills
standard.
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| context-consultant | Build and improve the context that makes Hex's AI agents accurate (endorsements, descriptions, workspace context, guides, semantic models), then measure it with a dedicated eval engine — authoring and running eval suites, sourcing cases from real usage, and gating changes in a preview — managed as code and synced to Hex. |
| looker-migration | Migrate Looker dashboards/Looks into Hex. Translates LookML + Looker's generated SQL, lets Hex's notebook agent build a generative app on gated SQL cells, and verifies with a SQL-fidelity gate (numeric parity vs Looker) + a visual-QA loop. |
| tableau-migration | Migrate Tableau dashboards/workbooks into Hex. Parses the .twb into a migration brief, lets Hex's notebook agent build a generative app on gated SQL cells, and verifies with a SQL-fidelity gate + a visual-QA loop. |
Snowflake Cortex Code (CoCo) skills
snowflake-coco/ holds a Hex skill bundle built for Snowflake Cortex Code. It
routes CoCo requests to Hex sub-skills for setup, projects and apps, notebook authoring, business
analytics, context engineering, Cortex AI functions, and Tableau/Looker migration. It relies on
CoCo's runtime, so it is installed separately from the skills above. See the
CoCo README for install steps.
Install
Claude Code (plugin marketplace)
Install one skill at a time from the shared marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add hex-inc/hex-skills
/plugin install context-consultant@hex-skills
See each skill's README for usage examples.
Any agent CLI (Agent Skills standard)
npx skills add hex-inc/hex-skills
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others that support the Agent Skills spec.
OpenAI Codex
Clone the repo; AGENTS.md routes Codex to the right skill:
git clone https://github.com/hex-inc/hex-skills
Manual
git clone https://github.com/hex-inc/hex-skills
cp -r hex-skills/skills/<skill-name> ~/.claude/skills/

Adding a new skill
Use skills/context-consultant/ as the reference
implementation. Each skill is a self-contained folder under skills/.
1. Create the skill folder
skills/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md # required — orchestrator with YAML frontmatter (name, description)
├── README.md # install + usage for this skill
├── .claude-plugin/
│ └── plugin.json # per-skill plugin manifest for Claude Code
├── agents/ # optional — specialist agent prompts
├── references/ # optional — supporting docs the skill reads on demand
└── hex-guides/ # optional — content to paste into Hex Context Studio
SKILL.md is the entry point agents read first. Keep it focused; put detailed material in
references/ or agents/ and link to those files from SKILL.md.
README.md should cover what the skill does, what's inside, and how to install/use it for
this skill specifically (see the context-consultant README for an example).
2. Register the skill in the repo
Update these three files so agents and install tools can discover the new skill:
- This README — add a row to the Skills table above.
AGENTS.md— add a row mapping the task/trigger toskills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md..claude-plugin/marketplace.json— add a plugin entry:
{
"name": "<skill-name>",
"source": "./skills/<skill-name>",
"description": "One-line description for the marketplace.",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
3. Add the plugin manifest
Create skills/<skill-name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json. Copy from
skills/context-consultant/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
and update name, description, and keywords. Keep repository pointing at this repo.
4. Open a PR
- Use kebab-case for folder and skill names (e.g.
hex-notebook-patterns). - Keep each skill independently installable — users should be able to run
/plugin install <skill-name>@hex-skillswithout pulling in unrelated skills. - If the skill includes Hex product artifacts (guides, context snippets), put them in
hex-guides/inside that skill's folder, not at the repo root.
