## Skills

- [Find and book tradespeople with Checkatrade](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/checkatrade/skills/essentials.md): Searches for vetted tradespeople near you and helps you book a job. It confirms the trade and location first and asks for your explicit yes before any booking is made.

## Install

- RevampKey: connect Checkatrade at https://revampkey.com/marketplace/checkatrade; the skills come with it.
- Any Agent Skills tool, into the current project:

```bash
curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .agents/skills/checkatrade-essentials/SKILL.md https://revampkey.com/marketplace/checkatrade/skills/essentials/SKILL.md
```

### What is a Checkatrade agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Checkatrade skill describes one job, which Checkatrade tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Checkatrade skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 1 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Checkatrade.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Checkatrade; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Checkatrade MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Checkatrade MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Checkatrade MCP setup guide covers every client.
