## What it does

The skill covers four building blocks for agent storage on Tigris: forks, workspaces, checkpoints and coordination. A fork is an independent bucket holding a copy of a shared dataset, and copy-on-write means it appears instantly at any size. A workspace hands one agent its own bucket with a TTL and scoped credentials. A checkpoint captures bucket state, and restore spins up a new fork from that snapshot while the original stays untouched.

Coordination wires bucket notifications so a write fires a webhook and the next agent starts without polling. Every function returns `TigrisResponse<T>`, a union of `{ data: T }` or `{ error: Error }`, so check `error` first. Credentials come from `TIGRIS_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `TIGRIS_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, or you pass them through the `config` parameter.

You need the Tigris CLI and the `@tigrisdata/agent-kit` package. Forks and checkpoints require snapshots enabled on the base bucket, otherwise `createForks` fails with a snapshots-not-enabled error. Pair every `createForks` with `teardownForks`: orphaned buckets keep billing. Sharing one access key across agents defeats the scoped credentials the kit hands out per fork.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill tigris-agent-kit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/tigris-agent-kit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill tigris-agent-kit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill tigris-agent-kit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tigrisdata/skills tigris-agent-kit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill tigris-agent-kit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tigrisdata/skills --path skills/tigris-agent-kit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tigrisdata/skills --skill tigris-agent-kit -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/tigrisdata/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/tigris-agent-kit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- give several agents their own copy of one dataset
- hand an agent a scratch bucket that expires on its own
- save a run mid-flight and branch from it later
- start the next agent when a result lands in a bucket
- revoke credentials and delete buckets after a run

## Example prompts
- create three forks of the my-dataset bucket for parallel runs
- checkpoint training-data as epoch-50 and restore it into a new fork
- set up a webhook on pipeline-bucket so agent B starts after a write to results/

# Tigris Agent Kit

High-level storage workflows for AI agents on Tigris. Composes `@tigrisdata/storage` and `@tigrisdata/iam` primitives into four building blocks: **forks**, **workspaces**, **checkpoints**, and **coordination**.

## Prerequisites

**Before doing anything else**, ensure the Tigris CLI is installed:

```bash
tigris help || npm install -g @tigrisdata/cli
```

If you need to install it, tell the user: "I'm installing the Tigris CLI (`@tigrisdata/cli`) so we can work with Tigris object storage."

Then install the agent-kit package:

```bash
npm install @tigrisdata/agent-kit
```

## Configuration

All functions accept an optional `config` parameter. When omitted, the SDK reads from environment variables:

```bash
TIGRIS_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID=tid_...
TIGRIS_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=tsec_...
```

Pass config explicitly when needed:

```typescript
const config = {
  accessKeyId: 'tid_...',
  secretAccessKey: 'tsec_...',
};
```

All functions return a `TigrisResponse<T>` — a discriminated union of `{ data: T }` or `{ error: Error }`. Always check `error` first.

## Quick Reference

| Building Block | Purpose | Functions |
|---|---|---|
| **Forks** | N isolated copies of a shared dataset | `createForks`, `teardownForks` |
| **Workspaces** | Dedicated per-agent bucket with TTL | `createWorkspace`, `teardownWorkspace` |
| **Checkpoints** | Snapshot bucket state, restore as fork | `checkpoint`, `restore`, `listCheckpoints` |
| **Coordination** | Event-driven pipelines via webhooks | `setupCoordination`, `teardownCoordination` |

## When to Use Which

| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| Spin up N agents that each need their own copy of a dataset | **Forks** |
| Give one agent a scratch bucket that auto-cleans after a day | **Workspace** |
| Save agent state mid-run so you can branch from it later | **Checkpoint** + **Restore** |
| Trigger downstream agent when an upstream agent writes a result | **Coordination** |
