What exactly is a skill?
A skill is a markdown file (.md) that tells your AI agent how to perform a specific task — step by step, with all the commands, API calls, pitfalls, and context it needs. Think of it as an SOP your agent can read and follow perfectly every time.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The skills guide you through setup in plain English. You'll need to create API accounts (like Twilio or Crexi) and paste in some credentials, but your AI agent handles all the actual code and execution.
What AI agent do I need?
Most skills work best with Hermes Agent (free, open-source). Some work with Claude Code or any agent that accepts instruction files. Each skill page lists compatibility clearly.
What happens after I buy?
You get an immediate download link to the skill's markdown file, plus a setup guide. There's no subscription — one-time payment, yours forever.
Are these real, working skills?
Yes. Every skill on SkillStack was built from a real, production automation that's actively running. The CRE Deal Pipeline skill runs daily. The Local SEO skill has deployed live client sites. These aren't demos.
What if it doesn't work for me?
We stand behind our skills. If you can't get a skill working, reach out and we'll help you set it up. Every skill has been tested on real systems.
