Upvera for Developers
Agent Skill

Upvera Agent Skill

The Upvera skill teaches your agent what Upvera is and how to work with it: the ecosystem around a startup, the words Upvera uses and the ones it avoids, how to read proof and Upvera Value, and how to turn a day of commits into a progress post worth reading. It pairs with the MCP server: the server gives the agent your data, the skill gives it judgment.

The skill is plain Markdown in the open Agent Skills format. Read it before you install it: SKILL.md.

Claude Code

Install it for every project:

bash
curl -fsSL https://upvera.dev/skills/upvera.zip -o /tmp/upvera-skill.zip && unzip -o /tmp/upvera-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

Or for one project, into .claude/skills/ at the repository root:

bash
curl -fsSL https://upvera.dev/skills/upvera.zip -o /tmp/upvera-skill.zip && unzip -o /tmp/upvera-skill.zip -d .claude/skills/

Claude Code picks the skill up when your request is about Upvera. Ask:

text
› Draft today's update for my startup on Upvera
› What does Upvera Value mean for my startup this week?

Other agents

The skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file and a references/ folder. Agents that read Agent Skills load it from their skills folder; others can take the Markdown as instructions.
