Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/cwc-workshops --skill mining- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads mining automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Diamond ore generation peaks at y ≈ -58 in Minecraft 1.18+. The pre-1.18 advice of y=11 is obsolete.
Below y=0, the ore is almost always deepslate_diamond_ore, not
diamond_ore — search for both names.
An iron_pickaxe is required — diamond ore mined with a stone_pickaxe or weaker drops nothing. Craft the iron_pickaxe (3 iron_ingot + 2 sticks at a placed crafting_table) before mining diamond. A diamond_pickaxe is not required.
To descend quickly, call go_near with your current x/z and a
deep y (e.g. {"pos": {"x": <x>, "y": -55, "z": <z>}}) — the
pathfinder digs straight down in one action. Don't mine_block
stone repeatedly to descend; it wastes turns and pickaxe durability.
After exhausting a vein, relocate — go_near to a position 30+
blocks away horizontally at the same y before searching again.
Diamond veins do not cluster; tunneling the same corridor repeatedly
wastes turns.
(This skill is intentionally minimal. It's an example of what attaching a skill does — it puts these facts in the agent's context. Edit this file to add more, or write strategy directly in your AGENT['system'] prompt.)

Which AI agents can use mining?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is mining safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
