Overview

Killer-Skills exposes a metadata-oriented public API for directory integrations, filters, and CLI support. It is a machine-readable helper layer, not the canonical content surface of the site.

Canonical Content Rule

If you need installation steps, reviewed summaries, or citation-ready descriptions, use the public skill pages, collection pages, and docs pages on killer-skills.com. Public API responses may omit source files and long-form markdown.

Endpoints

List Skills

GET https://killer-skills.com/api/skills?page={page}

Search Skills

GET https://killer-skills.com/api/skills/search?q={query}&category={category}&page={page}

Get Skill Metadata

GET https://killer-skills.com/api/skills/{owner}/{repo}

Returns machine-readable skill metadata and a short summary. Use https://killer-skills.com/{locale}/skills/{owner}/{repo} as the canonical content URL.

Get Categories

GET https://killer-skills.com/api/categories

Indexing Policy

Public API endpoints are designed for applications and automation. They are served with X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow so search engines can drop historical API URLs while keeping the main site pages indexable.
