## Install

```bash Terminal
npx skills add steel-dev/skills --skill steel-reliability
```

After adding the Steel Skills marketplace in Claude Code:

```bash Terminal
/plugin install steel-reliability@steel-skills
```

## Use When

- The site returns 403, access denied, verify-human pages, or redirect loops.
- CAPTCHA solving fails or loops.
- Steel-managed proxy or BYOP proxy behavior needs diagnosis.
- Login state, profiles, credentials, identity, pacing, or retry policy affects success.

## Example Prompts

- "Plan the least invasive mitigation for this 403."
- "Show me the safe BYOP pattern on Hobby."
- "Should this login workflow use profiles, credentials, or both?"
