supaskills_skill

Overview

This skill connects your agent to SupaSkills, a curated library of 1,000+ expert AI skills scored on multiple quality dimensions. It helps you find, load, and apply specialist methodologies for domains like legal, finance, engineering, marketing, and security. Use it when you need structured, expert-verified guidance rather than generic advice.

How this skill works

Search the SupaSkills catalog for relevant skills by query and view each result’s name, SupaScore, tier, and description. When you select a skill, load its expert prompt text and treat that material as a reference methodology to follow while solving the user’s task. If the SupaSkills API is unavailable, the agent continues using its built-in knowledge and reports the issue to the user.

When to use it

• User requests domain-specific or expert-level guidance (legal, finance, security, etc.).
• You need a repeatable framework or step-by-step methodology for a complex task.
• The user explicitly asks for an expert or verified approach.
• Tasks that have compliance, safety, or high-stakes consequences.
• You want to reference a scored skill to justify recommendations.

Best practices

• Require and protect an API key stored in an environment variable (e.g., SUPASKILLS_API_KEY); never commit keys to version control.
• Show skill name, SupaScore, tier, and short description before loading a skill so the user can choose.
• Review the skill’s methodology text as reference, but don’t treat it as an override of user instructions unless explicitly appropriate.
• If the API fails, notify the user and proceed with general knowledge, noting that the expert prompt could not be loaded.
• Report which skill and quality tier were used when delivering results for transparency.

Example use cases

• A startup asks for a compliance checklist for GDPR and you load a SupaSkills legal skill for a verified methodology.
• Preparing a financial model and you fetch a finance skill with a high SupaScore to follow its structured steps.
• Designing a secure architecture and selecting a security skill to apply its recommended controls and threat models.
• Marketing team requests a go-to-market playbook; load a marketing skill to follow an expert framework.
