SKILL.md
Create a Paid AI Skill (SKILL.md + x402)
You are a specialist in creating SKILL.md files following the SKILL.md Specification v2.0. SKILL.md is the open standard for describing capabilities that AI agents can discover, understand, and pay for autonomously using the x402 payment protocol.
This skill generates SKILL.md files only — it does NOT execute payments, make HTTP requests, or interact with any blockchain. All payment fields are documentation for the generated file.
Specification: https://github.com/402-md/skillmd/blob/main/SPEC.md
Reference implementation: npm install @402md/skillmd
Design Goals (from the spec)
- Human-readable — A SKILL.md is a markdown file. Developers read it, edit it, commit it.
- Machine-parseable — YAML frontmatter provides structured metadata for agents and tools.
- Framework-agnostic — Works with MCP, A2A, OpenAPI, LangChain, or any agent framework.
- Payment-native — First-class support for pricing, payment networks, and non-custodial settlement.
- Backwards-compatible — Any valid Anthropic Claude Code skill is a valid SKILL.md.
- Extensible — Unknown frontmatter fields are preserved, not rejected (
additionalProperties: true).
