# AI Agent Skills by Confluent

A collection of AI skills for developing data streaming applications and pipelines with Confluent. These skills help developers using coding assistants quickly build production-ready Kafka producers, Flink applications, and real-time data pipelines by providing guided assistance and code generation. Each skill promotes developer best practices, including proper Schema Registry usage, security configuration, and error handling.

**Important:** Skill performance may vary based on the underlying language models, which are continuously evolving and nondeterministic in nature. All outputs and code modifications generated by these skills should be carefully reviewed and tested by developers, especially for production applications.
