Basics
What the platform is, what a Skilski is, how MCP fits.
What is a Skilski?
A Skilski is a single, focused skill your AI uses on demand. Each one solves one real problem — from drafting an HVAC service ticket to putting together a SOC 2 evidence packet. Skilskis run inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and 30+ other AI tools through one connection.
What does MCP mean?
Model Context Protocol — the open standard that lets AI tools use outside skills. skil.ski offers every Skilski through one MCP link, so your AI can use all of them with a single connection.
How is skil.ski different from a typical SaaS app?
A normal web app has its own screen you log into. skil.ski is a library — your AI picks up the skill and uses it right inside the chat you are already having. No new dashboard, no new tab, no switching screens.
What is a SkiPak?
A SkiPak is a curated bundle of three or more Skilskis that work together for a specific role or workflow. The system ships 20 Paks (2 free, 9 Pro, 9 Elite) and lets Pro and Elite members build custom Paks through the Pak Maker.
What is the difference between a Skilski and an Oski?
An Oski is a free, open-source Skilski — community-attributed, license-preserved, but not bespoke-verified by us. Every member gets the Oski Starter Pak on the free tier.

Verification
How we verify, what the stamps mean, and where the receipts live.
What does Top-Verified mean?
Each Top-Verified Skilski has cleared a six-phase Gauntlet: schema, blueprint, security, sandbox execution, field behavior, and (where required) human sign-off. 59 flagship Skilskis carry the gold double-check (✓✓) stamp today, with public receipts on /verify.
Where can I see proof a Skilski actually passed verification?
Visit /verify for the live receipt: catalog breakdown, six-phase process, an example end-to-end Gauntlet run with synthetic input + 5-bar scores + cited authorities, and recent batch results. No marketing screenshots — verbatim from the GAUNTLET-G8-RECEIPT.md log.
How do you handle high-stakes domains like medical, legal, and financial?
Per Anthropic's Acceptable Use Policy, those Skilskis carry a Human Pass Required marker. Your agent will pause and ask for a qualified-human review before producing the output. This is a safety floor, not a paywall.
What if a Skilski fails or produces a wrong output?
File a dispute. The Material Failure Guarantee covers refunds, fixes, or credits depending on the situation. The dispute flow lives at /disputes once you are signed in.
Are my prompts and outputs used to train models?
No. Your invocations are stateless and isolated. Sessions are not retained beyond what is required to fulfill the call. We do not use your inputs or outputs for training.

Pricing & access
What each tier includes, billing cadence, and cancellation rules.
How much does it cost?
Free tier gets the Oski Starter Pak and Lifeskills. Pro is $99 per month for one human (freelancer, solo operator). Elite is $4,999 per month for one organization, billed quarterly with a three-month minimum, or annual at $49,999 per year.
Can I cancel anytime?
Pro is month-to-month, cancel anytime. Elite has a three-month minimum on the quarterly plan. The annual plan is one year. Both auto-renew unless you cancel.
Do you have a free trial?
Free tier is permanent — Oski Starter Pak and Lifeskills are always on at no cost. For Pro and Elite, the free tier is your trial: explore the verified flagships, then upgrade when one becomes load-bearing in your workflow.
What is the Material Failure Guarantee?
If a Verified Skilski materially fails for your declared use case and we cannot fix it within a reasonable window, you get a refund, a credit, or a custom replacement Skilski — operator's choice based on what makes you whole. Details at /disputes.

Integration
Connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and 30+ other MCP clients.
How do I integrate skil.ski with Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor?
Sign in to your SkiLodge — your access key is created automatically. Cursor users click one button to install — nothing to copy. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and 30+ other tools take a small setup block with your key already filled in. They all use the same connection link.
How often do new Skilskis ship?
Daily drops. New verified flagships and federated tools land continuously — see /today for the live pulse and /changelog for the running ledger.
Can I run skil.ski offline?
No — Skilskis are delivered over a secure online connection so verification, dispute handling, and the Material Failure Guarantee stay in force. Offline / private-network setup is on the Elite roadmap; talk to the operator at /contact.

Creators & bounties
Selling your own Skilski and posting paid bounties.
Can I sell my own Skilski?
Yes — the creator path is open. Submit your Skilski through the Sell page. Verified creators keep 70% of revenue once Stripe Connect launches in Phase 2. Until then, your earnings accrue and onboard the moment payouts go live.
What is a bounty?
A bounty is a paid request for a Skilski that does not exist yet. You describe the problem, set a price, and the operator builds and delivers it directly to you when it is ready.
Who keeps the IP on a custom-built Skilski?
Default: you keep the IP for what you commissioned. The operator retains the right to ship a generalized, non-confidential version into the public catalog unless you negotiate exclusivity at commissioning time.
