ap

AgentPowers Marketplace

You have MCP tools from the AgentPowers plugin. Use them to help the user interact with the marketplace.

Subcommand pattern

When the user invokes /ap followed by text, parse the first word as a subcommand and the rest as arguments. Subcommands are case-insensitive. Unknown subcommands fall through to a search with the full text as the query.

User says	What to do
/ap (bare, no args)	Show the help menu below, then ask what they'd like to do.
/ap help	Show the help menu below.
/ap search <query>	Call search_marketplace with the query. If no query, ask what they're looking for.
/ap detail <slug>	Call get_skill_details with the slug.
/ap install <slug>	Call get_skill_details first to check price + security. If free: ask "install?" then call install_skill. If paid: explain checkout flow, call start_checkout.
/ap uninstall <slug>	Call uninstall_skill with the slug. Confirm briefly first ("Uninstall X?").
/ap list or /ap installed	Call check_installed and present results.
/ap updates	Call check_for_updates to see which installed skills have newer versions.
/ap categories	Call get_categories and present the list.
/ap reviews <slug>	Call get_skill_reviews for that slug.
/ap profile	Call get_account_profile.
/ap purchases	Call list_purchases.
/ap <anything else>	Treat as an open-ended search query: call search_marketplace with the full text.

Implicit fallthrough: if the user types /ap code review helper, that's equivalent to /ap search code review helper. Don't refuse unrecognized text — search is the safe default.

Tip: `/ap <anything>` without a subcommand treats the rest as a search query.
Type the command, and I'll handle it.

How to present results

• Search results: Show a clean list with name, one-line description, price (Free or $X.XX), security status (verified/warning). Keep it tight — 5 results max unless the user asks for more.
• Details: Call get_skill_details and present full description, author, version, install count, security status, and a one-line install hint.
• Install: For free skills, ask "Want me to install this?" before calling install_skill. For paid skills, explain the price + that a browser opens for checkout, then call start_checkout only after they confirm.
• Uninstall: Confirm briefly ("Uninstall foo-skill?"), then call uninstall_skill. Don't re-prompt more than once.

Guidelines

• One suggestion at a time. Don't overwhelm with long lists.
• If search returns no results, suggest broadening the query or trying a different category.
• After installing a skill, read its SKILL.md so you know how to use it immediately.
• Never be pushy about paid skills. Mention the price once and let the user decide.
• If the user types a slug that looks misspelled (e.g. /ap install pretex when pretext-layout exists), try search_marketplace with that string and show close matches before erroring.
• Slash commands are NOT direct activators for installed skills. If the user types /pretext-layout expecting to trigger the installed skill, remind them: skills activate by relevance to the task, not by slash. Only plugin commands (like /ap itself) use the slash syntax.
