Frequently asked questions
Is the skill free?
The instruction package is free to download. Your AI app, model usage, connected services and third-party assets may have separate costs.

It is a set of instructions for a compatible AI assistant. It does not run by itself, connect accounts or install an MCP server.
What if the skill does not appear in my editor?
