Skills

Boom publishes a set of Agent Skills that teach Claude how to use Boom’s MCP tools for real work: connecting your customer data, building the audiences you want to reach, designing the journey that carries a conversation, launching it over WhatsApp, and reading back what customers said as structured data. The job is yours to pick. The same pieces cover winning back customers who dropped off, support, product research, onboarding, qualifying leads, collecting documents, and NPS follow-up. The skills themselves are open source, in BOOM-TML/skills.

The skills run on Boom’s MCP tools, and the plugin below sets that server up for you at https://www.useboom.ai/mcp. You sign in with your normal Boom login the first time Claude connects, so there’s no API key to create or store. Already connected Boom by hand? Keep that same URL, and Claude Code treats the two as one server rather than loading Boom’s tools twice.

Options 1 and 2 below need a terminal or Claude Code. Option 3 works from the Claude app with no terminal at all.

Install

Pick the path that matches how you use Claude.

1. One command (recommended)

npx @useboom/skills-setup

It asks who the skills are for, then sets up everything: Boom’s marketplace, the plugin, Boom’s MCP server, and auto-update, so new skills and fixes reach you without reinstalling. Installed Boom’s skills before, with npx skills add? The installer finds those older copies, which never update, and moves them into a backup folder, so you don’t end up running each skill twice. Then start Claude Code. The first time, it asks you to confirm installing the marketplace and the plugin, and to approve Boom’s MCP server. Sign in to Boom when the window opens, and the skills show up as boom:<skill-name>.

Prefer to set it up by hand?

The installer only writes these two keys, so you can paste them yourself:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "boom": {
      "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "BOOM-TML/skills" },
      "autoUpdate": true
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": { "boom@boom": true }
}

Use whichever settings file fits, the syntax is the same in all:

Where	File	Scope
Just you	`~/.claude/settings.json`	Your machine, every project
A repo / team	`.claude/settings.json` (committed)	Everyone in that repo
Whole org	`managed-settings.json`	Enforced for all members

autoUpdate is the line that matters. Marketplaces other than Anthropic’s own arrive with auto-update off, so setting it is what keeps you current. Claude Code then refreshes the marketplace in the background shortly after each session starts, and either offers you /reload-plugins or picks up the new version on your next launch.

Prefer menus? Everything below happens inside Claude Code (terminal, desktop app, VS Code, or JetBrains):

Type /plugin in the chat and press Enter to open the plugin manager.
Go to Marketplaces → Add marketplace and enter BOOM-TML/skills.
Go to Discover, find the Boom plugin, and click Install (choose “just me” or “this project”).
Back under Marketplaces, open boom and choose Enable auto-update, so new skills reach you on their own. If a settings file already sets it, the menu shows it as fixed there.
Run /reload-plugins (or restart). The skills appear as boom:<skill-name>.

3. The Claude app (claude.ai, desktop, mobile)

The Claude app doesn’t read plugin marketplaces, so there’s no auto-update here. You upload the skills you want, one at a time, and Claude can do most of the work:

Ask Claude, in a chat with code execution available:
Get the launch-initiative skill from github.com/BOOM-TML/skills and give me a ZIP I can upload as a skill. The ZIP’s root must be the skill folder itself.
Download the ZIP it hands back.
Open Customize → Skills → Add and upload it.

Swap the skill name for whichever ones you want from the list below. You can also skip Claude entirely: download the folder from the repo and zip it yourself, as long as the skill folder sits at the ZIP’s root.

Uploaded skills are private to your account, and the feature needs code execution enabled. To hand them to a whole team at once, an admin provisions them under organization settings (Team and Enterprise).Connect the MCP tools too, or the skills will have nothing to call.

These skills can launch initiatives and add participants, which send real WhatsApp messages to real customers. Review what an agent is about to do before letting it run unattended. People on your Do Not Contact list are always skipped.

The skills

Ten of them, and you don’t type their names: Claude picks the right one from what you ask.

Skill	Use it to
`boom-overview`	Get oriented: Boom’s object model, lifecycle, and which skill fits what you’re doing
`onboarding`	A guided first run: build your first journey, send a Hello World, learn the mental model
`build-knowledge-base`	Prepare the context your agent works from: brand identity, plus a brief per use case
`connect-your-data`	Sync Postgres, MySQL, or Shopify data into Boom’s CDP (read-only user, SSH tunnel, mapping SQL)
`cdp-and-segments`	Query the CDP and build the segments you’ll target
`design-journey`	Design or debug the journey behind an initiative: follow-up rounds, branching, timing, external calls
`whatsapp-templates`	Write WhatsApp openers that pass Meta review and earn replies
`launch-initiative`	Create and launch an initiative end to end, whatever the job, using the context formula from Boom’s best performers
`manage-participants`	Add, monitor, and stop the people in an initiative
`analyze-results`	Turn a running initiative’s extracted data and transcripts into insight
