This Week's Updates: Making It Easier to Find Your Skills

A conversational onboarding chat, Claude Code sign-in for our MCP server, and new Stripe, Small Business, and Sales plugins in the marketplace.

By

This week, we made onboarding easier on the Skills and Agents Platform, improved our MCP server for Claude Code, and added new marketplace plugins such as Stripe, small business workflows, and one for sales and growth executives.

  • Agents can now use our catalog index and a new llms.txt file, a simple text guide for AI tools, to access the Skills and Agents catalog. This file gives agents a clear list of available skills, making them easier to find and understand. If you use an agent to search for skills, it can now look them up directly.
  • We updated the home page to explain what Aides do. They help you turn your workflows into repeatable processes that use code, AI, and your own judgment.

Skills and Agents Platform

  • Onboarding now starts as a conversation. We ask for your name, email, company, role, and organization size one question at a time. Your answers are saved even if you refresh the page. You can skip questions you are not ready to answer and can revisit or edit your responses at any time during the conversation.
  • Once you describe your work, the chat suggests one Aide at a time that matches your workflow. You can see why each Aide might fit your needs. If a suggestion doesn’t seem right, you can ask for another or start over. For new users, we suggest reading the short summaries for each Aide and picking the one that matches your goals or daily tasks. You can always try different Aides to see which one works best for you.
  • The Aide you choose now stays with you during signup. It will be ready in your new workspace, and we’ll confirm that it was added.
  • You can now sign in to the Skills and Agents MCP server from Claude Code. We’ll explain how to use this in the next section. The platform’s What’s changed page now covers everything members could see from September 30 to October 28. You can catch up on what’s new from inside the app.
  • We made the platform’s loading states better.

Use Skills and Agents from Claude Code

MCP is how Claude Code lets Claude connect to outside tools. To use our MCP server with Claude Code, you need an active Skills and Agents account and permission to access your organization’s skills catalog. Make sure you have both before you start. With our MCP server, Claude can search your organization’s skills and the public catalog while you work, so you don’t have to leave your session to find a skill. This also helps us troubleshoot workflows that need extra support. In your terminal, run:

claude mcp add --transport http skills-and-agents https://app.skillsandagents.co/catalog/mcp
  1. Open Claude Code and type /mcp.
  2. Select skills-and-agents, then select Authenticate. Your browser opens.
  3. Sign in with your Skills and Agents account.
  4. Back in Claude Code, ask something like “Find a skill for invoice approval.”

Third-Party Skills added to the Marketplace

  • Stripe: You can use Stripe’s plugin to build on Stripe. It includes 10 skills, 2 commands, and 1 agent, and links to the Stripe connector. To install it, run /plugin marketplace add stripe/ai and then /plugin install stripe@stripe in Claude Code, and restart Claude Code. Each plugin page shows its own install commands.
  • Small Business: You can manage business finances and customer tasks, like bills, payroll, and reports, and you approve every step that involves money or customers. We updated this listing to the latest version, with 44 skills.
  • Sales: You can prep calls, follow up, research accounts, review deals, and write the forecast. Anthropic’s plugin has 36 skills and works with your CRM, email, and calendar, or with files you upload.
