​
checkly skills initialize (experimental)

The initialize subcommand outputs LLM-optimized Markdown with all the context an agent needs to set up a new Checkly project from scratch. The context will instruct your agent to install required packages, create config files and scan your current project for resources to monitor. Usage:
Terminal
npx checkly skills initialize
You can prompt your agent with “run npx checkly skills initialize and follow the instructions” and the agent will have everything it needs to scaffold your Checkly monitoring setup.

​
checkly skills configure [resource]

The configure subcommand is an umbrella command that provides Markdown context about all available Checkly resources. The CLI outputs everything your agent needs to configure Checkly constructs directly — no additional docs fetching or file reading required. Run configure without arguments to see all available resources, or pass a specific resource name to get targeted context. Usage:
Terminal
npx checkly skills configure
npx checkly skills configure api-checks
npx checkly skills configure browser-checks
