Skills

Skills are packaged, step-by-step playbooks for common accounting tasks. An agent can list the catalog, fetch a skill's instructions, and follow them using the regular API and MCP tools. Skills encode the right way to do a task on AI Accounting so agents don't have to infer it.

The catalog

Skills are served from a public catalog — no authentication required to read them:

  • GET /api/v1/skills — list all available skills.
  • GET /api/v1/skills/{name} — fetch a single skill's markdown instructions.

They're also exposed as MCP tools: list_skills, get_skill, and the accounting_skills resource.

Why skills are public

The catalog is readable without a key so an agent can discover how to work with AI Accounting before it has credentials. Performing the steps still requires an API key.
