}List skills for local agents
List the Effective skills the caller can install in an agent on their own computer. A skill is a folder of instructions, a SKILL.md and the references and scripts it uses, that agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor load from disk. Effective’s skills use the Effective MCP server, so connect it in the same agent.
Ordered by ID. Uses cursor pagination; repeat every other query parameter with nextCursor. Compare each contentHash with the one stored at install to find skills to download again with downloadSkill. Free, read-only and safe to retry.
