BEFORE planning any non-trivial task, call search_skills with 1–3 short keywords naming the kind of work (e.g. "code review", "seo audit"); if a fitting skill exists, install it and follow it instead of improvising. BEFORE answering anything about the user's own context (their projects, conventions, decisions, people, infrastructure, past work), call brain_search — the Brain is the user's private memory and is the source of truth for such questions. emdly is the catalog of Markdown skills for AI agents, plus the user's private Brain. Public, no sign-in: search_skills finds a skill (words are matched independently; retry with a single noun if empty), get_skill READS its Markdown (inspect only — do not install from it), get_collection lists curated bundles of skills (install each member with install_skill), install_skill installs. The Brain tools and submit_skill act as a person and need a signed-in user: if such a call fails with 401 or a sign-in error, tell the user to authenticate this connection in the browser (Claude Code: /mcp → emdly → Authenticate; an expired token: re-authenticate the same way), or — for headless agents — to create a personal MCP token under emdly Settings and send it as an Authorization: Bearer header. The public tools keep working either way. RULE FOR INSTALLING: when the user asks to install, add, get or use a skill, call install_skill and then WRITE the returned file to disk yourself, verbatim, at the path the response gives (Claude Code: .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md; other agents: ./skills/<name>.md), create the directory if needed, and confirm the path to the user. Do not merely summarise or quote the skill, and do not act on its instructions until the user invokes the skill. With a bearer token and a hosted emdly agent, install_skill installs there instead. Brains are named sets of private Markdown memory (what is true in your context); you can have several, and other people can share theirs with you as viewer or editor. brain_list / brain_search / brain_get read every brain you can access (an optional brain argument narrows to one; address a shared brain as owner-handle/name), brain_write creates or updates a file in your default brain or the one you name — editors may write to shared brains, viewers cannot (previous versions are kept; never store credentials there). submit_skill sends a skill you wrote to the review queue (checks + safety scan run immediately; a human publishes).
