# Send Venice Characters to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

This skill uses uv run which automatically installs Python dependencies (httpx) via PEP 723 inline script metadata. No manual Python package installation required - uv handles everything.

### Security Notes

Privacy: All inference is private—no logging, no training on your data
API Key: Store securely, never commit to version control
Admin vs Inference Keys: Admin keys can access billing/usage—use inference keys for everyday work
Data: Venice does not retain request/response data
Trust: Verify you trust Venice.ai before sending sensitive data
