# Install the Ovok skill

The [Ovok skill](https://github.com/Actimi/ovok-landing/tree/main/skills/ovok) gives a coding agent a repeatable way to work with Ovok.

## What the skill does [#what-the-skill-does]

It tells the agent to:

- inspect your application repository, its `AGENTS.md` instructions, framework, and existing code patterns before making changes;
- check the current Ovok docs and available source for the API route, FHIR resource, SDK method, request and response shape, and error behavior involved. For SDK methods, use the documentation and declarations shipped with the SDK version in the project;
- identify project setup requirements, including authentication, access policies, feature switches, settings, and their prerequisites;
- use the Console or the [Ovok MCP server](/working-with-ai-agents/mcp-server) for project administration, such as settings, members, client applications and CMS content, and use APIs or SDKs for application integrations;
- preserve tenant and patient boundaries, keep secrets and clinical data out of client code and logs, and flag behavior it cannot verify;
- report the implementation, setup a project administrator must complete, and any remaining assumptions.

The skill is guidance for the coding agent. It does not sign in to Ovok, grant the agent access to a project, create credentials, or change project settings by itself. The agent can only inspect or change files and systems allowed by the tools and permissions in your development environment. To let an agent set up a project for you, [connect the Ovok MCP server](/working-with-ai-agents/mcp-server).

## Install it [#install-it]

Install it from the repository where you plan to use your coding agent:

```bash
npx skills add Actimi/ovok-landing --skill ovok
```

The Skills CLI detects the current coding agent. To choose Codex explicitly, run:

```bash
npx skills add Actimi/ovok-landing --skill ovok --agent codex
```

The default installation is for the current project. To install it for your user account instead, add `--global`:

```bash
npx skills add Actimi/ovok-landing --skill ovok --global
```

List installed skills to confirm it is available:

```bash
npx skills ls
```

## Use it [#use-it]

Open your application repository in the agent. Skills-enabled agents may select the skill automatically for relevant work; you can also ask explicitly: “Use the `ovok` skill for this task.”

The skill source is in the [Actimi/ovok-landing repository](https://github.com/Actimi/ovok-landing/tree/main/skills/ovok).
