├── .agents/skills/              # Agent Skills (AI reads these)

Commands

Command	Description
`ARTIFI: Setup`	Full setup — authenticate, install skills, configure MCP
`ARTIFI: Update Skills`	Re-fetch latest skills from server

How It Works

Your IDE (Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code)
  │
  ├── Agent Skills (.agents/skills/)     → AI knows HOW to use the tools
  ├── MCP Connection (.cursor/mcp.json)  → AI CAN call the tools
  │
  └── You ask: "Post an AP invoice for Acme Corp"
        │
        ▼
      ARTIFI MCP Server (150+ tools)
        │
        ▼
      Your organization's data (isolated schema)

Agent Skills give your AI assistant domain knowledge — workflow payloads, accounting logic, entity IDs, email addresses, and step-by-step guides for every ERP operation. Without them, the AI only sees bare tool descriptions.

Example Conversations

Once connected, talk to your AI assistant naturally:

"Show me all open AP invoices for this month"
"Create a vendor called Acme Corp with NET30 payment terms"
"What's the trial balance for entity 9?"
"Reconcile the bank account"
"Post a journal entry to correct the revenue accrual"
"Generate a balance sheet as of December 31"
