Axiom Skills

Agent skills for working with Axiom. Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that coding agents load dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks.

metrics-chart	Render saved metrics v2/v3 JSON as line charts; zero-dependency ASCII by default, optional gnuplot PNG/SVG/sixel

Requirements

• jq - JSON processor (brew install jq or apt install jq)
• curl - HTTP client (usually pre-installed)
• bc - Calculator, needed by controlling-costs (brew install bc or apt install bc)
• timeout or gtimeout - Required by SRE scripts (brew install coreutils on macOS)

MCP Server

.mcp.json configures the hosted Axiom MCP Server at https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp for agent clients that install plugins from a manifest. APL queries use queryDataset; metrics queries use queryMetrics with MPL. See the MCP setup docs.

Installation

Codex

Register Axiom's marketplace so Codex can find its plugins:

codex plugin marketplace add axiomhq/skills

Install the Axiom plugin, which includes all skills in this repository and the hosted MCP server connection:

codex plugin add axiom@axiom

In axiom@axiom, the first name is the plugin and the second is the marketplace.

Authorize Axiom in your browser when prompted. If you already added Axiom MCP manually, keep one connection to avoid duplicate tools.
