openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Graph-of-Skills API description: | Skill disambiguation and retrieval for AI coding agents. Upload a tenant's skill library (SKILL.md-style markdown files), then query it in natural language to get back the skill that actually matches, not just the one that looks similar. ## Authentication Every endpoint except `/pending`, `/install-link` and `/install/{token}` requires a self-serve API key, scoped to the `graph-of-skills` product. Pass it as `Authorization: Bearer ` or, for clients that can't set that header, `X-API-Key: `. An invalid, unscoped, or revoked key gets the same 401 as a missing one — the API never reveals whether a key exists. `/pending` and `/install-link` take a signed-in account session instead and refuse every API key. `/install/{token}` takes neither: the link that `/install-link` makes carries its own permission, for one skill and for 10 minutes. Get a key at https://www.akilima.tech/get-api-key?product=graph-of-skills (free tier, no card required). ## Rate limits Two independent caps apply per tenant: a per-minute burst limit (fails with a distinct `retryAfterSeconds` body) and a monthly retrieval volume cap (fails with a `limit`/`upgradeUrl` body). Both are enforced on `/retrieve` and the `search_skills` MCP tool identically. ## MCP `/mcp` is the same retrieval capability exposed as a Model Context Protocol server (Streamable HTTP transport) for coding agents that connect via MCP instead of calling REST directly: `claude mcp add --transport http graph-of-skills https://www.akilima.tech/api/graph-of-skills/mcp`. version: 1.0.0 contact: name: Akilima Support url: https://www.akilima.tech/contact email: info@akilima.tech servers: - url: https://www.akilima.tech/api/graph-of-skills description: Production API security: - ApiKeyBearer: [] - ApiKeyHeader: [] components: securitySchemes: ApiKeyBearer: type: http scheme: bearer description: >- A graph-of-skills API key (https://www.akilima.tech/get-api-key?product=graph-of-skills), sent as `Authorization: Bearer `.
