Get Started with Alteryx Skills
Alteryx Skills let supported AI coding assistants work with local Designer workflows. You can use them to build, inspect, run, and repair trusted workflows for repeatable business analysis.
Use Alteryx Skills for tasks such as data preparation, reconciliation, compliance reporting, operational analytics, governed calculations, and other reusable business logic.
The public Alteryx Skills repository is available here.
Supported AI Assistants
Alteryx Skills can be installed for:
Codex
Antigravity
Claude Code
Claude Desktop
What the Alteryx Plugin Includes
The plugin contains one skill:
alteryx-designer
Agents can select this skill automatically when your request clearly involves local Designer workflows, such as:
Building a workflow.
Editing a YXMD file.
Running a workflow with Designer Engine.
Repairing execution errors.
Validating workflow outputs.
Before You Begin
Make sure you have a supported AI assistant, a local Designer installation, and authorization to use the relevant Alteryx products, files, data, accounts, workspaces, services, and permissions.
Workflow inspection and XML editing can proceed without Designer, but workflow execution and run validation require local Designer Engine access.
These skills do not bypass Alteryx authentication, authorization, workspace controls, product terms, service terms, or entitlement checks.
Install Alteryx Skills
Choose the installation option for your AI assistant.
Codex
Use the Codex App option as the primary installation path.
Open Codex App.
Select Plugins from the left navigation.
Select the dropdown arrow next to the + symbol.
Select + Add marketplace.
In the Source field, enter https://github.com/alteryx/skills.git.
Select Add marketplace.
Search Plugins for Alteryx.
Select Install next to the Alteryx plugin.
Optional CLI command:
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/alteryx/skills.git
Use @Alteryx or $alteryx:alteryx-designer to invoke Alteryx Skills in Codex.
Antigravity
agy plugin install https://github.com/alteryx/skills.git
Use /alteryx:alteryx-designer to invoke the Designer skill.
Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/alteryx/skills.git claude plugin install alteryx
Start Claude Code with the claude command. Use /alteryx:alteryx-designer to invoke the Designer skill.
Claude Desktop
Open settings.
Select Plugins.
Select the Add dropdown menu.
Select Add marketplace.
Paste https://github.com/alteryx/skills into the text box and select Sync.
Select the + symbol next to the Alteryx plugin.
Use /alteryx-designer in a chat.
Verify Installation
After installation, restart your AI assistant if needed. Confirm that the Alteryx plugin or alteryx-designer skill is available.
Inspect this .yxmd and explain what the workflow does.
Use Alteryx Skills
Your AI assistant might automatically select the Alteryx skill when your request clearly involves Designer workflows.
Build an Alteryx workflow that joins these customer and order files, filters inactive accounts, and writes a reconciled output.
Inspect this .yxmd and explain why the final output is missing the expected revenue column.
Run this Designer workflow and fix any configuration errors that prevent it from completing.
Runtime Requirements
Workflow execution requires a local Designer installation with AlteryxEngineCmd.exe.
AlteryxEngineCmd.exe is Windows only. The executable does not need to be on PATH; a script discovers the executable location.
Troubleshooting
The Plugin Is Not Available
Restart your AI assistant after installation. Then check whether the Alteryx plugin or alteryx-designer skill is listed.
The Assistant Can Inspect a Workflow but Cannot Run It
Confirm that Designer is installed locally and that AlteryxEngineCmd.exe is available.
The Assistant Cannot Access a File
Confirm that the file exists locally and that your AI assistant has access to the folder where the file is stored.
The Command Is Not Found
Confirm that the required AI assistant or CLI is installed. Then review the installation procedures for the app you use.
