Agent Onboarding (SKILL.md)

Machine-readable onboarding file that tells any AI agent how to discover and use Anakin's capabilities

Anakin publishes a SKILL.md file at a permanent public URL. Any AI agent that supports tool discovery via a URL can load this file to understand Anakin's full capability surface — no manual configuration required.

Direct URL:

https://anakin.io/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md

What it contains

The file is a structured Markdown document covering:

  • What Anakin does (web scraping, crawling, AI search, Wire actions, browser sessions)
  • All available API endpoints with parameters and response shapes
  • Authentication instructions (ANAKIN_API_KEY environment variable or X-API-Key header)
  • Usage examples in plain language the agent can follow
  • Links to the full API reference and SDK docs

Who it's for

SKILL.md follows the emerging convention (popularised by Firecrawl, Exa, and others) of publishing a single machine-readable onboarding document that AI agents can fetch to self-configure. It works in any context where an agent can retrieve a URL:

  • MCP clients — reference it as a resource in your MCP config
  • Custom agents — fetch it at startup and inject it as system context
  • AI coding assistants — paste the URL into the system prompt or initial message
  • LLM pipelines — use it as a tool-definition source for function-calling setups

Using it in a prompt

Before using any Anakin tools, read the onboarding document at:
https://anakin.io/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md

The agent will fetch the file, understand what Anakin can do, and start using the correct endpoints and parameters without further instruction.

Format

The file is served as Content-Type: text/markdown with no authentication. It is always current — updated in sync with the API.
