Installation

dotnet add package Netclaw.SkillClient

Usage

Direct Instantiation

using Netclaw.SkillClient;

// Read-only access (no auth needed for discovery and downloads)
using var client = new SkillServerClient("http://localhost:8080");

// With API key for write operations (publish, delete)
using var client = new SkillServerClient("http://localhost:8080", apiKey: "sk-your-api-key");

Dependency Injection

// Read-only
services.AddSkillServerClient("http://localhost:8080");

// With API key
services.AddSkillServerClient("http://localhost:8080", "sk-your-api-key");

Discovering Skills

// Get the RFC-compliant skill index (/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json)
var index = await client.GetRfcIndexAsync();

foreach (var skill in index.Skills)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{skill.Name} - {skill.Description}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  URL: {skill.Url}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Digest: {skill.Digest}");
}

Listing and Browsing Skills

// List all skills (paginated)
var skills = await client.ListSkillsAsync();
var page = await client.ListSkillsAsync(skip: 10, take: 5);

// Get all versions of a skill
var versions = await client.GetSkillVersionsAsync("my-skill");

// Get a specific version
var version = await client.GetVersionAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0");

Searching Skills

// Full-text search across skill names, descriptions, and categories
var results = await client.SearchSkillsAsync("kubernetes deployment");
var page = await client.SearchSkillsAsync("kubernetes", skip: 0, take: 10);

Getting the Latest Version

// Get the latest version of a specific skill
var latest = await client.GetLatestVersionAsync("my-skill");
Console.WriteLine($"Latest: {latest.Version} ({latest.Sha256})");

Checking for Updates

// Check if any of your cached skills have newer versions
var updates = await client.CheckUpdatesAsync([
    new CheckUpdateRequest { Name = "my-skill", Version = "1.0.0" },
    new CheckUpdateRequest { Name = "other-skill", Version = "2.1.0" }
]);

foreach (var item in updates.Where(u => u.HasUpdate))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{item.Name}: {item.CurrentVersion} -> {item.LatestVersion}");
}

Downloading Skills

// Download SKILL.md as a string
var content = await client.GetSkillFileAsStringAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0");

// Download SKILL.md as a stream
await using var stream = await client.GetSkillFileAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0");

// Download a resource file from a skill archive
await using var resource = await client.GetSkillFileAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0", "prompts/system.md");

// Download a blob by its SHA-256 digest
await using var blob = await client.GetBlobAsync("sha256:abc123...");

Verifying Integrity

// Verify a downloaded skill matches its published digest
var isValid = await client.VerifyDigestAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0", "sha256:abc123...");

Publishing Skills

Requires an API key with write access.

await using var file = File.OpenRead("SKILL.md");
var result = await client.UploadSkillAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0", file, category: "coding");

Console.WriteLine($"Published: {result.Url}");
Console.WriteLine($"Digest: {result.Sha256}");

Deleting Skills

await client.DeleteVersionAsync("my-skill", "1.0.0");
