Installation

Clone the skill into your Claude Code skills directory:
No Node.js, Python, or other dependencies required. The skill uses only curl and bash.
Direct skill installation via claude skill add is coming soon. For now, clone the repo into ~/.claude/skills/.

What It Does

The skill teaches Claude how to interact with the AgentPowers marketplace directly. Once installed, Claude can:
  • Search the marketplace for skills and agents
  • View details for any skill including price, security status, and description
  • Install free skills by downloading and extracting packages
  • Purchase paid skills by opening Stripe Checkout (requires authentication)

Using the Skill

After installing, try asking Claude:
Claude will use curl to call the AgentPowers API and present results in a clean format.

Authentication

The skill works without authentication for:
  • Searching the marketplace
  • Viewing skill details
  • Installing free skills
For paid skills, you need to authenticate first:
Or via the Python CLI:
The skill automatically detects the auth token at ~/.agentpowers/auth.json.

Limitations vs Plugin

The standalone skill is lightweight but has fewer features than the full plugin:

Upgrading to the MCP Server

If you want the full experience with 26 marketplace tools, add the MCP server:
The MCP server includes everything the skill does plus categories, reviews, security scans, seller profiles, account management, purchase workflows, and multi-platform install support.
