skills
Free how-to guides inside the agent. The index, a plain-words search, or one full guide for a task or for getting unstuck.
Short guides for doing a task with looot the right way, and for getting unstuck. They are the
same guides the site serves as skill.md files on its alternatives, use case, recipe and provider
pages, plus edge case guides written for agents: no email found, the provider needs your own
account, a run came back queued, a batch of more than 100 calls, balance too low, a price higher
than expected, and more. Free, read-only, never charged.
Guides never hold a price. Read the live price with inspect before a paid call.
Inputs
| Argument | Type | Required | Default | Limits | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
query |
string | No | - | 1-300 chars | The task or the problem in plain words. Answers up to 10 guides, best first. |
slug |
string | No | - | 1-200 chars | One guide’s slug, from the index or a search. Answers the full guide as markdown. |
With no argument the tool answers an index of 40 guides and the total count. With both, slug wins.
