Paragon Skill

The Paragon Skill is used within your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) to help you set up Paragon in your application. The Paragon Skill provides your agent with context on how to:
  1. Set up the Paragon SDK.
  2. Embed the Connect Portal, a prebuilt component to guide your users through integration connection flows.

After running these setup steps, you’ll have everything you need to get started with ActionKit, Managed Sync, and Workflows.

​
Getting Started

The npx skills CLI by Vercel automatically adds the Paragon Skill for the most popular agentic IDEs. 
npx skills add useparagon/paragon-skills
Update the Paragon Skill with the following command: 
npx skills update

​
Alternative: Manual Installation

  1. Navigate to the skills/ directory for your agentic IDE of choice, e.g. 
    ~/.cursor/skills/
~/.claude/skills/
~/.agents/skills/
~/.config/opencode/skills/
  2. Clone the Paragon Skills Repo in the skills/ directory: 
    git clone https://github.com/useparagon/paragon-skills.git

​
Using the Skill

Your agent should naturally detect when the Paragon Skill is needed. In some cases, it may be useful to reference the skill directly by name (i.e. “Using the Paragon Setup Skill…” or “/paragon-setup-skill”).
