> Ready-made Upwork playbooks for AI agents: summarise and reconcile your Upwork financials, find and shortlist Upwork jobs with AI, review your Upwork profile and rate with AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the Upwork connector safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/upwork/skills/essentials.md): Confirms which Upwork account and role you act for, searches without flooding context, and asks before any change such as sending a draft, inviting a freelancer or ending a contract.
- [Summarise and reconcile your Upwork financials](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/upwork/skills/earnings-and-financial-review.md): Builds a period report of your Upwork spend or earnings, checks the dashboard against the financials, and flags contracts worth a closer look. It is read-only and asks before any change.
- [Find and shortlist Upwork jobs with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/upwork/skills/freelancer-job-search.md): Searches Upwork for jobs that fit a freelancer's profile, screens out weak postings, and drafts proposals for review. It asks before sending or switching accounts.
- [Review your Upwork profile and rate with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/upwork/skills/rate-and-profile-review.md): Reads your freelancer profile the way a client would, compares your rate with the market, and recommends ranked profile changes and a pricing position. It asks before changing your profile, rate or boost.

### What is a Upwork agent skill?

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

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

2 of the 4 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 Upwork.

### 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 Upwork; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

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

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