# Skills

> Reusable agent capabilities for Real-Time LCA

<Note>
  **Coming soon.** Skills for Real-Time LCA are in active development.
  This page will expand once the first skills ship.
</Note>

## What are skills?

A skill is a packaged capability that an AI agent can load on demand —
the agent only learns about it when the task calls for it, and otherwise
ignores it. For Real-Time LCA, a skill bundles together everything an
agent needs to perform one focused job: the relevant API endpoints,
parameter conventions, expected inputs and outputs, and any guardrails.

## How RTLCA skills will work

When skills launch, you'll be able to install them into any of the
supported agent environments — Claude AI, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or
Mistral — using the same `npx skills add` pattern. See
[Connect to RTLCA](/ai-tools/rtlca-mcp) for the setup steps.

Once installed, an agent can pull in the skill mid-conversation to:

* Run an LCA calculation against your project data
* Look up an emission factor by name, region, or product category
* Validate a bill of materials before submission
* Compare scenarios and summarize the delta

You won't need to write custom integration code, build a tool wrapper,
or paste API instructions into every chat — the skill carries that
context for you.
