# Exa Agent Skills

> Agent skills that connect Claude Code and coding agents to Exa APIs.

Exa Agent Skills are standardized markdown skills that equip coding agents like Claude Code and Codex with Exa search and content retrieval capabilities. When combined into workflows like lead generation, agents can perform deep research, spin up parallel subagents, and generate scored prospective lead lists automatically. The skills follow the open Agent Skills standard and can be installed via npx.

## Why it was saved

- [@WilliamBryk, 12 March 2026](https://x.com/WilliamBryk/status/2032200994675966043): A turnkey agentic sales-lead pipeline: from 'use /exa-lead-gen to generate 1000 sales leads for exa.ai' to a 965-lead CSV in ~5 minutes (demo ran in 34s of compile time, ~70% of leads scored 8+ on ICP fit). Installable in Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents; the workflow pattern (ICP research → column proposal → batch subagents → dedupe to CSV) is reusable for any target company.
