Install Thru Skills

Thru-specific skills live in the public Unto-Labs/ai repository. Start by installing the thru-best-practices skill. It is the highest-value default skill for agentic Thru development and should be part of the agent setup before working on programs, ABIs, SDK integrations, or CLI workflows. To install the Thru skills repo: 
npx skills add Unto-Labs/ai

​
Use the Docs Site as Context

When an agent is already on a docs page, prefer the docs site’s built-in AI-friendly actions:
  • use Copy page when you want to paste the full page into a chat
  • use View as Markdown when you want a cleaner source for an agent to read
  • keep the copied context narrow and task-specific instead of pasting large parts of the site
That works best when you start from the smallest page that fully covers the current task.

​
Use Explorer MCP for Live Chain Context

For deployed-chain tasks, Explorer MCP is usually the safest way to keep an agent grounded in current state. Use it for:
  • account lookups
  • transaction inspection
  • recent blocks and recent transactions
  • program ABI lookup
  • ambiguous identifier search
