How Skills Work

Skills are markdown instruction files that get loaded into your agent's context. They contain:

1. Workflow knowledge — How to think about property management tasks (e.g., "a guest checks out Saturday, schedule the turnover clean, prepare for Sunday check-in")
2. API patterns — Which endpoints to call and in what order
3. Authentication — How to handle the TIDY_API_TOKEN environment variable
4. Example scenarios — Common requests with expected responses

Available On

Authentication

Skills use the TIDY_API_TOKEN environment variable. Set it before starting your agent:

export TIDY_API_TOKEN=your-api-token

See the Authentication guide for how to obtain a token.
