Build CE.SDK with your coding agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, or your AI-powered IDE at CE.SDK and it becomes a creative-editor expert. Browse the agents, copy a proven prompt, and ship a working editor in minutes instead of days.
Quick start
Install the CE.SDK Agent Skills plugin, then describe what you want to build.

How agents speed up development
Point a coding agent at CE.SDK and it goes from empty project to working editor in minutes. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Scaffold a project
Describe a use case and the agent detects your framework, pulls the right starter kit, and scaffolds a complete, working project.
Generate working code
Ask for a feature in plain language and the agent writes CE.SDK code, step by step, adapted to your framework.
Automate a workflow
Go beyond a single editor: the agent wires up headless pipelines that batch-render design variants or pull catalog data into a template.
The skills
Three skills turn any supported agent into a CE.SDK specialist. Ask in plain
language and the agent picks the right one. Each tool also has its own way to
call a skill by name: /build in Cursor and Copilot, $build in Codex,
@build in Cascade, and /cesdk:build on the Claude Code plugin route.
Build
build sets up a CE.SDK Web project and implements the features you ask
for. Describe the outcome and the agent scaffolds and wires it up.
Explain
explain breaks down how CE.SDK works and how the pieces fit together,
with answers adapted to your framework and level.
Docs
docs-[framework] pulls reference guides and API docs into your editor
across 10 frameworks, including React, Next.js, and Node.js.
Ready-to-use prompts
Copy a starting point into your agent. Build a feature, ask how something works, or pull framework-specific docs, all without leaving the editor.
Build a CE.SDK ad designer with Unsplash stock photos, background removal, and AI image generation for campaign variants. Build a CE.SDK social media studio with Instagram presets and MP4 export. Add background removal to my editor. Explain how the CE.SDK block hierarchy works. Explain the CE.SDK export pipeline and output formats. Using the CE.SDK docs, how do I configure the editor in React? Using the CE.SDK docs, how does server-side rendering work in Next.js? Using the CE.SDK docs, how do I get started with Vue? Common workflows
From empty project to shipped feature, without leaving your agent.
Scaffold a new editor
Describe the product and let the agent build it: “create a photo editor with filters”.
Add a feature
Extend an existing editor in place: “add background removal to my editor”.
Understand a concept
Ask before you build: “explain how the block hierarchy works”.
Automate a creative workflow
Go beyond one-off edits: “build a workflow that pulls product details from the catalog and interpolates them into a promo template”.
Three ways to connect
Pick the path that matches your tool.
Agent Skills
The build path for coding agents: Claude Code natively, and Codex, Cursor,
Devin Desktop, Copilot, and 70+ others via npx skills. Bundles offline docs and
starter kits for guided, autonomous scaffolding.
MCP Server
Real-time documentation search over the Model Context Protocol. The path for chat apps like Claude Desktop, and a live-docs upgrade any agent can run alongside the skills.
LLMs.txt
For any AI tool, set up by hand. Paste the documentation index or the full documentation bundle into the tool of your choice.
The full documentation bundle runs to over 2 million tokens, well beyond any model’s context window, so Agent Skills and the MCP server are the better fit for most tools. To pull a single docs page as clean markdown, request it with a content-negotiation header:
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/react/get-started/overview-e18f40/Ship your first editor with an agent
Install the plugin, paste a prompt, and let your agent scaffold a working CE.SDK project.
Agent FAQs
A plugin that turns your AI coding agent into a CE.SDK expert. It bundles offline documentation, API references, and starter kits across 10 web frameworks, so agents like Claude Code or Cursor can scaffold and explain CE.SDK projects without external services or MCP servers.
Claude Code installs the skills natively as a plugin. Codex, Cursor, Devin Desktop, VS Code Copilot, and 70+ other agents install them with the Vercel Skills CLI (npx skills). Chat apps like Claude Desktop connect through the CE.SDK MCP server instead. Every agent in the gallery has a step-by-step setup guide.
Not to build. Agent Skills bundle the documentation offline, so there is no server or API key to manage. The MCP server adds real-time documentation search, so answers stay current between releases: run it alongside the skills, or on its own in chat apps like Claude Desktop.
React, Vue.js, Svelte, SvelteKit, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt.js, Electron, Vanilla JavaScript, and Node.js. The agent detects your framework and pulls the matching starter kit and reference guides.
