tom_doerr · x · 2026-07-20
Apify has introduced **Agent Skills** for AI coding agents, designed to integrate web scraping and automation directly into agent workflows. The post notes it supports tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and Gemini CLI. Once installed, agents can leverage web data and AI tools from the Apify platform.\n\nCapabilities include scraping various websites, generating and deploying new Actors, wrapping existing scripts/CLIs into runnable Actors, and automatically inferring output schemas from source code. The author emphasizes that this is built for production-grade scenarios, powered by Apify's Actor ecosystem and numerous ready-made templates.
