Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: best-article-found.com, blocked-site.com, stableenrich.dev.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned merit-systems/agentcash-skills at 522d5da81a.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automates web research on merit systems, policies, and best practices using tools accessed through x402 APIs. It provides access to both neural search (Exa) for understanding meaning and semantic relationships within content, and web scraping capabilities (Firecrawl) for extracting data from websites. Crucially, it utilizes specific endpoints provided by enrichx402.com, which are distinct from the native APIs of the underlying providers.

When to use it

  • Semantic Web Search: When you need to understand the meaning and context behind web content, rather than just matching keywords.
  • Finding Similar Pages: To discover pages with similar content or themes to a given URL.
  • Extracting Clean Text: When you require clean, formatted text extracted from URLs for analysis or summarization.
  • Quick Fact Lookup: For quickly finding factual answers based on web content.
  • Scraping Complex Websites: To extract data from websites that are blocked or heavily reliant on JavaScript rendering.

Key capabilities

  • Neural Search (Exa): Semantic web search understanding meaning and context.
  • Find Similar Pages (Exa): Identifies pages similar to a provided URL.
  • Text Extraction (Exa): Extracts clean text from URLs.
  • Direct Answers (Exa): Provides factual answers based on content found online.
  • Web Scraping (Firecrawl): Scrapes individual web pages and converts them into Markdown format.
  • Search with Scraping (Firecrawl): Combines search functionality with scraping of results.

Example prompts

  • "Find similar pages to [URL]"
  • "What are the key policies regarding merit systems in California?"
  • "Scrape this webpage and convert it to Markdown: [URL]"
  • “Answer this question based on information available online: What is the average salary for a software engineer?”

Tips & gotchas

  • API Endpoint Awareness: You must use the exact URLs provided by enrichx402.com (e.g., https://enrichx402.com/api/exa/search). Guessing paths will result in errors. Use x402.discover_api_endpoints(url="https://enrichx402.com") to get the correct paths if needed.
  • Wallet Setup: Requires proper installation and wallet setup as described in rules/getting-started.md.
