Answers FiftyOne Python SDK questions with accurate, runnable code. Use when the user asks how to do something in the FiftyOne Python SDK, asks a docs question, no skill or operator covers their goal, or the agent is unsure of the correct FiftyOne method, argument, or field path while writing code — e.g. "how do I do X in Python", "show me the SDK for filtering", "there's no operator for this, can I do it in code", "what's the API for embeddings", "write me a Python script to do Y".

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/voxel51/fiftyone-skills /tmp/fiftyone-skills && ln -s /tmp/fiftyone-skills/skills/fiftyone-sdk-guidance ~/.claude/skills/fiftyone-sdk-guidance
```

## From README

FiftyOne SDK Guidance Answers FiftyOne SDK and docs questions by searching live documentation and returning accurate, runnable Python code. Covers two scenarios: direct SDK questions and fallback guidance when no operator or skill exists for the user's goal. Key Directives ALWAYS follow these rules, no exceptions: Always search docs first; never answer from training knowledge alone FiftyOne's API changes frequently. Training knowledge may be outdated. Call searchfiftyoneknowledgesources (the fiftyone-docs MCP tool) for every FiftyOne-specific question before answering. If it isn't available, see Directive 6 for the fallback order. The query must be a complete natural-language sentence, not keywords.
