Quick Example
Skills are executed via the REST API:
curl -X POST https://clanker.net/api/v1/skills/readme-generator/run \
-H "x-auth-token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input": "Generate a README for my TypeScript CLI"}'
Over MCP, an assistant discovers and installs skills (then runs them via the REST API):
{
"tool": "install-skill",
"arguments": {
"slug": "readme-generator"
}
}
