# Apify Actorization Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output. ## Quick Start 1. Run `apify init` in project root 2. Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below) 3. Configure `.actor/input_schema.json` 4. Test with `apify run --input '{"key": "value"}'` 5. Deploy with `apify push` ## When to Use This Skill - Converting an existing project to run on Apify platform - Adding Apify SDK integration to a project - Wrapping a CLI tool or script as an Actor - Migrating a Crawlee project to Apify ## Prerequisites Verify `apify` CLI is installed: ```bash apify --help ``` If not installed: ```bash brew install apify-cli # Or: npm install -g apify-cli # Or install from an official release package that your OS package manager verifies ``` Verify CLI is logged in: ```bash apify info # Should return your username ``` If not logged in, check if `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable is defined. If not, ask the user to generate one at https://console.apify.com/set

Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill apify-actorization --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
