# outline Search, read, create, and edit Outline wiki documents with an agent.

It can search and read pages, show collections and their documents, create or update entries, and export a document as Markdown. Add `--json` to a command for machine-readable output, or run `auth-info` to test the API connection. You need Python 3.8+, the packages in `requirements.txt`, and an Outline API token set as `OUTLINE_API_KEY`. For a self-hosted wiki, set `OUTLINE_API_URL` to its API endpoint. API operations require a valid token with the necessary permissions, so check those before asking the agent to change wiki content. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sanjay3290/ai-skills --skill outline -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/outline/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/outline/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sanjay3290/ai-skills --skill outline -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/outline/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sanjay3290/ai-skills --skill outline -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/outline/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install sanjay3290/ai-skills outline ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/outline/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sanjay3290/ai-skills --skill outline -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/sanjay3290/ai-skills --path skills/outline ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/outline/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add sanjay3290/ai-skills --skill outline -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/sanjay3290/ai-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/outline/SKILL.md ## When to use it - find wiki pages using a text query - read a document by its ID - inspect collections and their documents - create or update an Outline page - export a wiki document as Markdown ## Example prompts - Search my Outline wiki for deployment documentation and return the matches as JSON. - Read the Outline document with ID `` and show its contents. - Create a draft titled “Guide” in collection ``. ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.
