Claude Skills for Framer: 8 CMS Skills + Copy-Paste Prompts

The 8 Claude skills for Framer at a glance

Each skill uses only the 3 Ryze AI Framer tools: read, write and delete.

The skills are written from the tool descriptions in Ryze AI's Framer integration and from Framer's CMS API documentation. They were not run against a live Framer project for this page, so test each one on a copy of a collection first.

What are Claude skills for Framer?

A Claude skill for Framer is a saved SKILL.md file that tells Claude which Framer CMS steps to run and what to report back. Per Anthropic's Agent Skills docs, the file starts with a name and a description, and Claude loads the rest only when a request matches the description.

The name allows up to 64 lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens and cannot contain the words claude or anthropic, so every skill here starts with framer. The description, up to 1,024 characters, says what the skill does and when to use it.

Framer's CMS stores items with a slug and field values keyed to the collection's fields (Framer CMS API). A skill that reads the fields first can write values in the right shape. For the tools themselves, see the Framer MCP page.

How to install the skills in Claude Code and claude.ai

Skills uploaded to claude.ai do not reach the API, and skill folders saved in Claude Code do not upload to claude.ai (Anthropic). Anthropic advises using skills only from sources you trust, so read each file before you save it.

Read-only skills: look before you change anything

These four only call framer__read. They are safe to run first, and they give the write skills the field names and slugs they need.

01. CMS inventory

Lists collections, their fields and item counts, so you know what Claude can reach.

Use it when: you connect a new project or hand the site to a teammate.

02. Content gaps

Reads every item in one collection and lists the fields that have no value.

Use it when: a blog or directory collection has grown and some entries went live half filled.

03. Slug check

Looks at the slugs only. The skill suggests new slugs and never renames an item, because an item with an existing slug is updated in place.

Use it when: before a publish or when you import items from another source.

04. Item brief

Turns one existing item into a short rewrite brief. It stops before any write.

Use it when: you refresh old posts one at a time.

Write skills: create, update, publish and remove

These four change the site. Each one shows a list and waits for a yes before it calls a write or delete tool. A skill can only ask; to make Claude stop for approval at the tool level, set the Ryze AI write and delete tools to Needs approval under Customize > Connectors > Ryze AI > Tool permissions.

05. Create item

Adds one item with a slug and a value for each field, then reads it back. It does not publish.

Use it when: you add a post or entry by hand and want the fields checked first.

06. Bulk update

Changes one field across several items. The Framer tool matches items by slug or id, and an item with an existing slug is updated in place, so the skill writes with the slugs it just read.

Use it when: you rename a label, fix a link pattern or fill a field across a list of items.

07. Publish check

Publishing goes through framer__write, and it publishes the whole site. The skill lists what changed in the chat so the publish is a decision.

Use it when: several edits are waiting and you want one publish at the end.

08. CMS cleanup

Removes items by id through framer__delete. Per the Ryze AI Framer facts, the removal goes live after a publish.

Use it when: test items or duplicates pile up in a collection.

Quick Framer prompts: no skill file needed

For a one-time question, a plain prompt is enough once Claude can reach Framer. Replace the words in brackets.

If an answer looks off, ask Claude which tool it called and what it sent.

How to run the skills on a live Framer CMS

A skill only describes the steps; Claude needs a connection to run them. The Ryze AI connector gives Claude 3 Framer tools:

Framer connects with a project URL and an API key. Create the key in Framer under Site Settings > General > API Keys, paste the project URL from the editor's address bar, then choose the CMS collection in Ryze AI. The published site address does not work as the project URL, because the link must include the project id.

The tools work with CMS collections and site publish. They do not edit Framer pages, custom code or redirects, so a skill cannot restyle a page or add a redirect. Publishing also needs at least one CMS collection that the API key can access.

Content Plan publishing to Framer is part of SEO Starter: $129 a month with a 3-day free trial, and the Framer tools need any active Ryze AI plan or trial. Connecting the connector is free. See pricing.

Framer's own MCP server and the Server API

Framer runs its own remote MCP server at https://mcp.framer.com/mcp. Its docs list canvas edits, components, project settings and CMS content, with OAuth to your Framer account, and say changes stay unpublished until you approve them (Framer MCP).

Pick Framer's server to change pages and layout. Pick the Ryze AI tools for CMS content and for publishing Content Plan articles. The skills on this page name Ryze AI tools, so they do not carry over to Framer's server unchanged.

Developers can also use Framer's Server API, a Node.js library that runs scripts against a project with an API key. Its FAQ says the API is in beta and free for now, with per-use pricing expected later (Server API FAQ).

The verdict

Start with the inventory and content gaps skills, because they change nothing and show what Claude can see. Add create and bulk update once the field names are clear, and keep publish and cleanup as separate steps.

Ryze AI runs these skills in Claude on a Framer CMS. Its tools stop at collections and publishing, so page layout, custom code and redirects stay in Framer.
