The Moda agent skill is a small Markdown package — oneDocumentation Index

SKILL.md plus a few reference files and recipes — that you install into an AI agent. It teaches the agent how Moda’s MCP tools work, which one to call for a given user request, and the non-obvious behaviors it should respect (concurrency caps for bulk fan-out, brand-kit resolution order, conversation vs. canvas vs. template semantics, etc.).
With the skill installed, the agent gets:
- A first-call
whoamidiscovery handshake that skips downstream lookups when defaults are unambiguous. - A consolidated gotchas reference covering the silent failures the tool signatures can’t communicate.
- 5 recipes for the canonical design-task patterns (create / edit / fill-template / rebrand-template / bulk).
- Clear guidance on
find_brand_kitsvslist_brand_kitsso brand-kit lookups don’t take over the screen.

What the agent learns
A short tour of the skill files, in order of how the agent uses them:SKILL.md— orientation page. The “callwhoamifirst” handshake, a 10-bullet “what goes silently wrong” sheet, a recipe map, and pointers to references.references/tools.md— factual catalog of all 20+ MCP tools with parameter tables and defaults.references/gotchas.md— single-page consolidated reference for non-obvious behaviors:format_categorydefaulting to slides, thewait-default asymmetry betweenstart_design_taskandremix_design, thecanvas_id/template_canvas_id/conversation_idmutual-exclusion matrix, brand-kit resolution order, attachment role semantics, thenot_readyexport retry state, and more.recipes/create-new-design.md,edit-existing-canvas.md,fill-template.md,rebrand-template.md— one short page per canonical design-task pattern. Mirrors the patterns documented at Design Task Recipes, but framed for an AI agent making tool-call decisions.recipes/bulk-variants.md— fan-out patterns for “make N variations of this”: windowed launch respecting the plan’sconcurrency_cap(fromwhoami),list_tasks(status="running")polling, deliver-as-queued UX.
Stay updated
The skill ships from themoda-design/skills GitHub repo. Watch the Releases page for changelogs.
