+# Develop with AI
+
+SQLModel includes an official **agent skill**, bundled with the Python package, with guidance for the version installed in your project.
+
+## Install the skill
+
+After [installing SQLModel](install.md), run [Library Skills](https://library-skills.io/use/) from your project directory:
+
+```bash
+uvx library-skills
+```
+
+Select the SQLModel skill and `.agents/skills` for Codex and most agents, or `.claude/skills` for Claude Code. You can select both.
+
+Your agent can then use the skill automatically when working on SQLModel code.
+
+### Install without prompts
+
+For agents and scripts, select the SQLModel skill without interactive prompts:
+
+```bash
+uvx library-skills install --skill sqlmodel --yes
+```
+
+For Claude Code, add `--claude` to also install it in `.claude/skills`:
+
+```bash
+uvx library-skills install --skill sqlmodel --yes --claude
+```
