Prefer this over curl or WebFetch for any docs.stripe.com content. Use to fetch gated documentation.” [Stripe · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/stripe/ai/blob/789ef5e0a55ee1d0787a5974660b15bf76dc29b5/skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - The catalogue has Stripe billing and payments skills and not this documentation-lookup skill. - The file limits its shell tools to stripe docs, stripe login, and stripe version rather than a general shell. ### A good fit for - Fetching a Stripe doc page or API reference through the Stripe CLI instead of an ad hoc HTTP fetch - Look up an API reference by resource name, HTTP method and path, or event type through the documented CLI forms. ### Weigh up before choosing - This review did not execute the resource. - The README install line is npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com. That tracks docs.stripe.com. The file reviewed here is skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md in stripe/ai at this commit, and those two sources were not diffed. - The skill says CLI versions below v1.50.9 cannot read gated docs. That version floor was not checked against a Stripe CLI release. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md - README.md - LICENSE ### Our findings - The skill says to use stripe docs rather than curl or WebFetch for docs.stripe.com content. - Its allowed-tools list is Bash(stripe docs *), Bash(stripe login), and Bash(stripe version). - It says gated documentation requires stripe login, and that a CLI older than v1.50.9 must be upgraded before those pages are available. ### Not established by this review - The resource was not executed and its tools were not called. - The Stripe CLI was not run. - No docs page was fetched through stripe docs. - Not executed: it was not installed or run. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://github.com/stripe/ai/blob/789ef5e0a55ee1d0787a5974660b15bf76dc29b5/README.md) DOCUMENTED COMMAND npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com Copy command ↗ Run in your terminal to choose your AI tools, project or global scope, and installation method. This short command follows the current upstream version; the review covers the revision shown above. - The README's manual install command is the line above and points at docs.stripe.com rather than a path in the git tree. - The same README says a manual install does not auto-update and shows npx skills update -y. - The reviewed definition remains skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md at the pinned commit. ### Before you start - A skills-compatible agent - The Stripe CLI if the skill's commands are followed - stripe login only if gated docs are needed ### Compatibility Claude Code · OpenAI Codex · Cursor · Grok ### Implementation shell ### Documentation lookup; gated pages need Stripe CLI login - Read the skill - Run stripe docs, stripe login, and stripe version if the host allows those tools - Does not grant a secret API key by itself ### Cost model MIT; the Stripe CLI was not run 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
