Agent skills | OCPPLab Docs

OCPPLab skills are agent skills: folders of instructions your coding agent loads when a task needs them. With them installed, an agent knows how to authenticate, deploy and drive virtual chargers, write code with the SDKs, run ocpplab-cli, and connect MCP, without you pasting docs into the chat.

Install

npx skills add ev-cloudx/ocpplab-skills

The installer asks which agents and skills to install. To skip the questions:

# Every skill, for every agent, in this project
npx skills add ev-cloudx/ocpplab-skills --all

Without -g, skills go into the current project (commit them so your team gets them too). With -g, they go into your user folders and work in every project.

Supported agents

The installer supports 40+ agents. Where the common ones look for skills:

Agent	`-a` value	Project folder	User folder (`-g`)
Claude Code	`claude-code`	`.claude/skills/`	`~/.claude/skills/`
Codex	`codex`	`.agents/skills/`	`~/.agents/skills/`
Cursor	`cursor`	`.agents/skills/`	`~/.cursor/skills/`
GitHub Copilot	`github-copilot`	`.agents/skills/`	`~/.copilot/skills/`
Gemini CLI	`gemini-cli`	`.agents/skills/`	`~/.gemini/skills/`
OpenCode	`opencode`	`.agents/skills/`	`~/.config/opencode/skills/`
Windsurf	`windsurf`	`.windsurf/skills/`	`~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/`
Goose	`goose`	`.goose/skills/`	`~/.config/goose/skills/`

Every other agent: supported agents.

The skills

Skill	Your agent uses it to
`ocpplab`	Start any OCPPLab task: domains, authentication, which surface to use, the 202 polling rule, errors, where the docs are
`ocpplab-virtual-chargers`	Deploy virtual chargers against your CSMS, then plug, charge, unplug, inject faults and diagnose stuck chargers
`ocpplab-sdk`	Write code with the TypeScript or Python SDK: naming, pagination, errors, retries
`ocpplab-mcp`	Connect an AI client to the OCPPLab MCP servers
`ocpplab-cli-shared`	Install and sign in to `ocpplab-cli`, global flags, output formats
`ocpplab-cli-evcharger`, `-cpo`, `-emsp`, `-ocpi`, `-proxy`, `-booking`, `-energy`, `-webhooks`, `-health`	Run every `ocpplab-cli` command, per domain

The ocpplab-cli-* skills are generated from the published CLI, so they list every command it has.

Before your agent starts

Your agent still needs a token and one way to call OCPPLab:

Generate a token in Studio under Settings → SDK tokens and export it: export OCPPLAB_TOKEN="<token>". The skills tell the agent to read it from there and never write it to a file. See Authentication.
Install what the task needs: npm i ocpplab, pip install ocpplab, npm i -g @ocpplab/cli, or connect the MCP server https://api.ocpplab.io/mcp.

Then ask in plain words, for example “deploy two virtual chargers against wss://csms.example.com/ocpp and start a session on the first one”.

Update or remove

npx skills list                       # what is installed
npx skills update                     # latest versions of installed skills
npx skills remove ocpplab-sdk         # remove one skill

Skills, MCP, or both

	Agent skills	MCP server
Gives the agent	Know-how: which call to make and how to use it	Tools that run OCPPLab operations directly
Runs code through	The SDKs or `ocpplab-cli` in your project	OCPPLab’s API, from the AI client
Best for	Writing and running code in a repository	Chat-style work in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT

They work well together: install the skills, and the ocpplab-mcp skill shows your agent how to connect MCP when a task needs it.
