SKILL.md# Octagon API Smoke Test
Use this skill to confirm that the Claude plugin and Octagon MCP are configured correctly.
## Smoke test sequence
1. Run a simple `octagon-agent` request
2. Run a simple `octagon-deep-research-agent` request
3. If a Kalshi URL is available, run `octagon-prediction-markets-agent`
4. If an event ticker is available, run `prediction_markets_history`
## MCP calls
General agent:
```json
{
"server": "octagon-mcp",
"toolName": "octagon-agent",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Give me a one-sentence summary of Apple's latest quarter."
}
}
```
Deep research:
```json
{
"server": "octagon-mcp",
"toolName": "octagon-deep-research-agent",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Research the current AI infrastructure spending cycle in one short paragraph."
}
}
```
## Failure triage
- Missing auth or invalid key: check plugin `api_key`
- Unexpected environment or staging issue: check `api_base_url`
- Prediction market failures mentioning Kalshi URL: supply a valid Kalshi market URL
- Credit or entitlement failures: report the exact error and stop
## Success criteria
- At least one Octagon tool returns usable text
- Tool failures, if any, are classified clearly as config, entitlement, input, or service issuesSignals

CrewAI Development Rules
firecrawl-build-onboarding
Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.
firecrawl-build-search
Integrate Firecrawl `/search` into product code and agent workflows. Use when an app needs discovery before extraction, when the feature starts with a query instead of a URL, or when the system should search the web and optionally hydrate result content.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app — web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
