Getting Started

From zero to a fully skill-aware agent in minutes.

1

Install the LarryBrain skill

Download the LarryBrain SKILL.md and drop it into your agent. This one file teaches your agent the entire marketplace API. It can search, find, and install skills automatically from that point on.

curl -sL https://www.larrybrain.com/skill -o SKILL.md

Point your agent to the file (add it to your agent's context, drop it in your project root, or paste it into custom instructions. See Installation for agent-specific instructions).

If you're using an agent with a built-in skill system, just ask your agent to “install the larrybrain skill” and it will handle everything automatically.

2

Create an account

Free skills work without an account. For premium skills, sign up at www.larrybrain.com/signin.

  • →Sign in with Google or GitHub
  • →Choose a subscription plan
  • →You'll land on the dashboard once subscribed

A small selection of skills are completely free. No account needed. Premium skills require an active subscription.

3

Generate your API key

Your API key authenticates requests for premium skills. It never leaves your machine.

  • Go to your dashboard and copy your API key
  • Set it as an environment variable in your shell or .env file:
export LARRYBRAIN_API_KEY=your_key_here

Your API key is only used as a header sent to larrybrain.com to authenticate skill downloads. It is never passed to third-party services or included in skill files.

4

Ask your agent anything

That's it. Your agent now has full awareness of the LarryBrain marketplace. Just describe what you want to accomplish:

Automate my marketing
Block ads on my network
Help me grow on X/Twitter
Monitor my support requests
Set up a security audit
Build a content calendar

Your agent will search the marketplace, find the right skill, download it, and follow the setup instructions, all in a single conversation.
