# Public Skill

> Install and use the public Centaur API skill from GitHub as a workflow layer on top of the full Centaur surface.

export const skillRepoUrl = 'https://github.com/centaur-io/centaur-partners-skill';

export const skillInstallCommand = 'npx skills add https://github.com/centaur-io/centaur-partners-skill';

export const llmsUrl = 'https://partners.centaur.io/llms.txt';

Use this page after [Client setup](/docs/guides/mcp-agents/client-setup) if you want an optional guided workflow for Centaur in agent-capable clients.

## Overview

The public Centaur skill gives agent clients a guided way to use Centaur over MCP after the Centaur server is already configured.

It is a simple workflow layer on top of the connected Centaur server, not a replacement for the underlying REST and MCP reference.

## Before you begin

Before you install the skill, make sure this is already true:

* Centaur is configured in your client through MCP

The skill does not run the OAuth flow or dynamic registration itself. It assumes your client has already connected to the Centaur MCP server.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add https://github.com/centaur-io/centaur-partners-skill
```

Canonical repo:

* <a href={skillRepoUrl}>
    {skillRepoUrl}
  </a>

## How the skill works

The skill follows a standard decision path:

1. Prefer MCP if Centaur is already configured in the current client.
2. If MCP is not configured, stop and give setup instructions.

## Supported surfaces

* MCP endpoint: `https://partners.centaur.io/mcp`
* MCP access to Centaur read families across the partner feed, events, messages, generated summaries, positions, discovery, stats, rankings, and activity summaries

## Common reads

* partner feed
* events
* messages
* generated narrative summaries
* positions
* discovery
* stats
* trader rankings
* activity summaries

Generated narrative summaries are for market narrative questions. They should not be used as evidence for exact trade counts, public activity rankings, or current open-position skew; use `rank_traders` for activity and performance rankings, `summarize_message_activity` for message/event counts and trends, `list_traders.tradeCount` for trader discovery activity counts, and event, message, position, open-position, and stat tools for other trade facts and positioning claims.

## Authentication

The skill uses the client-managed OAuth connection to the Centaur MCP server. It does not create API keys or run the OAuth flow itself.

## Notes

* The connected Centaur MCP server remains the source of truth for the exact live tool inventory and resource URIs.
* Set up the MCP server first, then install the skill for guided prompts and workflow behavior.

## Supported clients

* Claude
* ChatGPT
* Cursor
* Codex
* Claude Code

Set up Centaur in one of those clients first, then install the skill so the agent can use the connected MCP server.
