What It Is

agentskills.io is the open standard for AI agent skill discovery. It defines how agents find, install, and use skills published by protocols and services. Nile Markets is discoverable through this registry, allowing any compatible agent to add protocol querying and trading capabilities with a single command.

How Agents Discover Nile Markets

Nile Markets publishes two skill.md files that serve different purposes:

Mintlify skill.md (docs capabilities)

Mintlify auto-generates a skill.md at the docs site root. This file describes the documentation itself as an agent skill — what topics the docs cover, how to search them, and what questions they can answer. URL: https://docs.nilemarkets.com/skill.md This is useful for agents that need to look up protocol mechanics, parameter values, contract interfaces, or integration guides from the documentation.

Nile MCP skill.md (protocol tools)

The hand-written protocol skill file describes the 22 MCP tools available for direct protocol interaction — querying pool state, reading positions, generating transaction calldata, and more. URL: https://mcp.nilemarkets.com/skill.md This is what agents use to add live protocol interaction capabilities. It includes the MCP server endpoint, tool schemas, numeric conventions, signing paths, and example queries.
Both files follow the agentskills.io skill.md format with YAML frontmatter (name, description, version, MCP configuration) followed by structured tool documentation.

Discovery Endpoints

Agents and registries discover Nile Markets skills through standard well-known paths:

Install via skills CLI

Add Nile Markets documentation capabilities to any compatible agent:
This registers the Mintlify-generated skill, giving your agent access to documentation search and lookup. For live protocol interaction, add the MCP server directly — see MCP Server for setup instructions.

Which Skill File Should You Use?

MCP Server Quick Connect

If your agent supports MCP natively, skip the skills registry and connect directly:
Or add to your agent’s MCP configuration:
The MCP server is stateless with no authentication required during the M2 testnet phase. Rate limit is 100 requests per minute per IP.
All protocol data is from Ethereum Sepolia testnet. The agentskills.io standard and discovery endpoints may evolve as the ecosystem matures.
