@tanstack/intent

Ship compositional knowledge for AI coding agents alongside your npm packages.

Intents are npm packages of skills — encoding how tools work together, what patterns apply for which goals, and what to avoid. Skills travel with the tool via npm update, not the model's training cutoff.

@tanstack/intent is the toolkit for generating, discovering, and maintaining skills for your library.

Install

pnpm add -D @tanstack/intent

Quick Start

For library consumers

Set up intent discovery in your project's agent config files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, etc.):

npx intent init

List available skills from installed packages:

npx intent list

For library maintainers

Generate skills for your library using the guided scaffold workflow:

npx intent scaffold

Validate your skill files:

npx intent validate

Copy CI and Oz workflow templates into your repo:

npx intent setup
