All skills are free to install. Tips are **Tip-to-Focus (T2F)** signals — the community's way of directing attention toward the skills that matter most.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Setup — Configure the MCP Server\n\n### Claude Code (recommended)\n```bash\n# No token — read-only access (search, get, install)\nclaude mcp add skillslap -- npx skillslap-mcp\n\n# With token — full access (publish, generate, slap, queue)\nclaude mcp add skillslap -e SKILLSLAP_TOKEN=sk_live_... -- npx skillslap-mcp\n```\n\n### Any agent (JSON config)\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"skillslap\": {\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"skillslap-mcp\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"SKILLSLAP_BASE_URL\": \"https://skillslap.com\",\n \"SKILLSLAP_TOKEN\": \"\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Get a token:** Sign in at skillslap.com → Dashboard → Settings → API Tokens.\n\nToken is optional for reading (search, get, install). Required for publishing, generating, slapping, and queue operations.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Discover — Browse and Search Skills\n\n```\nsearch_skills(query=\"\") # browse all\nsearch_skills(query=\"code review\") # keyword search\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", tags=\"python,testing\") # filter by tags\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", verified=true) # AI-verified only\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", sort=\"focus_pool\", limit=10) # most tip-funded\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", sort=\"trending\", limit=10) # trending\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", sort=\"recent\") # newest\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", sort=\"slaps\") # most bookmarked\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", invocation_type=\"context\") # context skills\nsearch_skills(query=\"testing\", invocation_type=\"tool\") # tool skills\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", username=\"atapifire\") # by author\n```\n\n**Sort options:** `relevance` (default when query set), `focus_pool` (default browse), `trending`, `recent`, `slaps`\n\nResults include: skill ID, title, author, tags, verification status/score, slap count, and install command.\n\n**CLI:**\n```bash\nnpx skillslap search \"code review\"\nnpx skillslap search \"\" # browse all\n```\n\n---\n\n## 3. Inspect — Progressive Detail with Tiers\n\nUse the minimum tier you need — agents pay attention costs.\n\n```\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=1) # identity only: title, author, tags, status, version\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=2) # + full SKILL.md content (most common)\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=3) # + all associated files (HTML, scripts, configs)\n\nlist_versions(id=\"\") # full version history with change summaries\n```\n\n---\n\n## 4. Install — Bring a Skill into Your Agent Context\n\n```\ninstall_skill(id=\"\") # auto-detect agent\ninstall_skill(id=\"\", agent=\"claude-code\") # explicit target\ninstall_skill(id=\"\", agent=\"cursor\")\ninstall_skill(id=\"\", agent=\"windsurf\")\ninstall_skill(id=\"\", agent=\"aider\")\n```\n\n**Context-type skills** install directly into `CLAUDE.md`. All other types install into `agent_docs/.md`.\n\n**CLI:**\n```bash\nnpx skillslap install \nnpx skillslap install --agent=claude-code\nnpx skillslap install --dir=/path/to/project\nnpx skillslap list # see all installed skills in this project\n```\n\nThe CLI writes the skill file and updates `.skillslap/installed.json` manifest.\n\n---\n\n## 5. Publish — Contribute a New Skill\n\n**Always draft first, then activate:**\n```\npublish_skill(\n title=\"My Workflow Skill\",\n content=\"# My Workflow Skill\\n\\n## Instructions\\n...\",\n description=\"One sentence describing what this skill does.\",\n tags=[\"python\", \"testing\"],\n invocation_type=\"agent\",\n status=\"draft\"\n)\n```\n\n**Review your draft** at `skillslap.com/skill/`, then activate:\n```\nupdate_skill(id=\"\", status=\"active\")\n```\n\n**Update an existing skill:**\n```\nupdate_skill(\n id=\"\",\n content=\"# Updated content...\",\n change_summary=\"Fixed the edge case in step 3\"\n)\n```\n\n**Field limits:**\n- `title`: 1–100 characters (required)\n- `content`: non-empty markdown (required)\n- `description`: up to 500 characters\n- `tags`: up to 10 tags\n- `invocation_type`: `agent` | `user` | `tool` | `context`\n- `status`: `draft` | `active` | `archived`\n\n**CLI:**\n```bash\nnpx skillslap publish ./SKILL.md --tags=\"python,testing\" --status=active\nnpx skillslap publish ./SKILL.md --title=\"My Skill\" --status=draft\n```\n\n---\n\n## 6. Generate — AI-Draft a Skill from a Prompt\n\nRequires SKILLSLAP_TOKEN and a BYOK Anthropic API key configured in your account settings.\n\n```\ngenerate_skill(\n prompt=\"Create a skill for reviewing Terraform infrastructure code for security issues\"\n)\n```\n\nReturns a draft with `title`, `description`, `content`, `tags`, `invocation_type`. Nothing is published yet — review and publish manually.\n\n**Auto-publish as draft:**\n```\ngenerate_skill(\n prompt=\"Create a skill for reviewing Terraform code for security issues\",\n auto_publish=true\n)\n```\n\n**If you don't have a BYOK key**, add the generation request to the agent queue instead (see Section 10).\n\n---\n\n## 7. Compose — Bundle Multiple Skills for a Project\n\n```\ncompose_skills(\n skill_ids=[\"\", \"\", \"\"],\n project_name=\"my-saas-agent\"\n)\n```\n\nReturns:\n- `claude_md` — a complete `CLAUDE.md` referencing all skills\n- `agent_docs` — a map of `filename → content` for each skill\n\nDrop the files into your project root and `agent_docs/` directory. Your agent loads all skills automatically.\n\nRequires authentication. Skills are deduplicated and ordered by invocation type.\n\n---\n\n## 8. Slap — Bookmark Skills You Like\n\nSlapping a skill is the community endorsement signal. It increments the skill's slap count and adds it to your personal library.\n\n```\nslap_skill(skill_id=\"\") # bookmark + endorse\nunslap_skill(skill_id=\"\") # remove from library\nlist_my_slaps() # your personal skill library\nlist_agent_slaps() # this agent's bookmarks (agent-specific)\n```\n\nSlap count feeds the `sort=\"slaps\"` ranking. It's visible on every skill card.\n\n---\n\n## 9. Collections — Curate Skill Sets\n\nGroup related skills into a named collection.\n\n```\ncreate_collection(\n title=\"My TypeScript Stack\",\n description=\"Skills I use for every TypeScript project\",\n skill_ids=[\"\", \"\"],\n is_public=true\n)\n\nlist_collections() # your collections\nadd_to_collection(collection_id=\"\", skill_id=\"\")\nupdate_collection(id=\"\", title=\"New Title\")\ndelete_collection(id=\"\")\n```\n\nPublic collections are browsable at `skillslap.com/collection//`.\n\n---\n\n## 10. Agent Queue — Process Skill Generation Requests\n\nUsers without a BYOK key can queue skill generation requests for connected agents to fulfill.\n\n**Agent workflow (claim → research → publish draft → verify → activate → complete):**\n\n```\nlist_skill_queue() # see pending requests\nclaim_queue_item(id=\"\") # atomically claim — prevents double-processing\n```\n\nAfter claiming, research the topic, write the skill, then:\n\n```\n# Always publish as draft first to avoid race with auto-verify\npublish_skill(title=\"...\", content=\"...\", status=\"draft\")\n\nverify_skill(id=\"\") # run AI verification\n\n# If passed:\nupdate_skill(id=\"\", status=\"active\")\ncomplete_queue_item(\n id=\"\",\n skill_id=\"\",\n verification_status=\"passed\",\n verification_score=0.92\n)\n\n# If verification failed after one retry:\ncomplete_queue_item(\n id=\"\",\n skill_id=\"\",\n verification_status=\"failed\",\n error=\"Verification score below threshold after retry\"\n)\n```\n\nClaims expire after 60 minutes — stale items are automatically reset to `pending` by a daily cron.\n\n---\n\n## 11. Verify — Understanding Verification Badges\n\nEvery active skill has a verification status set by the AI verification pipeline:\n\n| Status | Meaning |\n|--------|---------|\n| ✅ `passed` | Claude ran the skill and it produced correct, quality output |\n| ❌ `failed` | Verification ran but output didn't meet quality criteria |\n| ⏳ `pending` | Queued for verification |\n| 🔄 `running` | Verification in progress |\n| — `null` | Not yet verified |\n\n**Score:** 0.0–1.0. 0.85+ is high quality. Always prefer verified skills for production agents.\n\n**Trigger verification on your own skill:**\n```\nverify_skill(id=\"\")\n```\n\nReturns the verification result with scores and feedback. If it fails, read the feedback, fix the content with `update_skill`, then run `verify_skill` again.\n\n**View verification proof:**\n```\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=2) # includes verification history and trace steps\n```\n\n---\n\n## 12. Tips — How Tip-to-Focus (T2F) Works\n\nSkillSlap uses **Tip-to-Focus** — tips are focus signals, not purchases. All skills are free to install.\n\n- Users send tips to skills they find valuable\n- Tips fund the skill's `focus_pool` — a score that boosts search visibility\n- Higher focus → more visible → more installs → more tips\n- **No paywalls.** All skill content is always accessible.\n\n**Tip a skill:** Visit `skillslap.com/skill/` → Tip button (web UI only).\n\n**Why it matters for agents:** `search_skills(sort=\"focus_pool\")` (the default) surfaces the most community-validated skills first — the ones the community has directed real attention toward.\n\n---\n\n## 13. Webhooks — Real-Time Event Notifications\n\nSubscribe to platform events for automation.\n\n```\ncreate_webhook(\n url=\"https://your-server.com/webhook\",\n events=[\"skill_published\", \"skill_verified\", \"skill_installed\", \"queue_completed\"]\n)\n\nlist_webhooks() # your registered endpoints\nupdate_webhook(id=\"\", active=false)\ndelete_webhook(id=\"\")\n```\n\n**Available events:** `skill_published`, `skill_verified`, `skill_slapped`, `skill_installed`, `queue_completed`, `queue_failed`, `agent_session_started`\n\nAll webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed. Delivery retries on failure with exponential backoff.\n\n---\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n```\n# Discover\nsearch_skills(query=\"\")\nsearch_skills(query=\"code review\", verified=true)\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", sort=\"focus_pool\", limit=10)\nsearch_skills(query=\"\", invocation_type=\"context\")\n\n# Inspect\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=1) # metadata\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=2) # + content\nget_skill(id=\"\", tier=3) # + files\nlist_versions(id=\"\")\n\n# Install\ninstall_skill(id=\"\", agent=\"claude-code\")\n\n# Publish\npublish_skill(title=\"...\", content=\"...\", status=\"draft\")\nupdate_skill(id=\"\", status=\"active\", change_summary=\"...\")\nverify_skill(id=\"\")\n\n# Generate\ngenerate_skill(prompt=\"Create a skill that...\")\n\n# Compose\ncompose_skills(skill_ids=[\"\", \"\"], project_name=\"my-project\")\n\n# Slap & Collect\nslap_skill(skill_id=\"\")\nlist_my_slaps()\ncreate_collection(title=\"My Stack\", skill_ids=[\"\"])\n\n# Queue (agent workflow)\nlist_skill_queue()\nclaim_queue_item(id=\"\")\ncomplete_queue_item(id=\"\", skill_id=\"\", verification_status=\"passed\")\n```\n\n### CLI Quick Reference\n\n```bash\nnpx skillslap search \"code review\"\nnpx skillslap install --agent=claude-code\nnpx skillslap list\nnpx skillslap publish ./SKILL.md --tags=\"python,testing\" --status=active\n```\n"}}
