# Skills

> Install Boom's Agent Skills so Claude can run customer research end-to-end over Boom.

Boom publishes a set of **Agent Skills** that teach Claude (and other agents) how
to use Boom's [MCP tools](/use-mcp) for real work — launching AI-led customer
interviews over WhatsApp and email, managing participants, and turning transcripts
into insight. They live in the open-source
[BOOM-TML/skills](https://github.com/BOOM-TML/skills) repository.

<Note>
  Skills build on the Boom MCP server — [connect Boom over MCP](/use-mcp) first,
  since the skills call those same tools.
</Note>

## Install

Pick the option that matches your setup.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Skills CLI (any agent)">
    Add the skills to your agent with one command:

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx skills@latest add BOOM-TML/skills
    ```

    Then choose which skills to install and which agent(s) to install them into.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Claude Code plugin">
    Add the marketplace and install the Boom plugin:

    ```bash theme={null}
    /plugin marketplace add BOOM-TML/skills
    /plugin install boom
    ```

    Set your Boom API key so the skills can authenticate (create one in
    **Boom → Settings → API Keys**):

    ```bash theme={null}
    export BOOM_API_KEY=boom_sk_...
    ```

    Once installed, the skills appear namespaced as `boom:<skill-name>`.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>
