Any Agent Skills-compatible platform

Copy the ansari/ directory into your platform's skills directory. The skill follows the open Agent Skills specification.

Upgrading

All other platforms: Download the latest ansari-skill.zip, extract it, and replace your existing ansari/ directory.

What It Does

When you ask an Islamic question, the skill instructs the AI agent to call the Ansari API — a service that provides answers grounded in the Quran, authentic Hadith collections, and classical Islamic scholarship.

The API requires no authentication and no API key.

Examples

• "What are the five pillars of Islam?"
• "What does the Quran say about charity?"
• "Explain the concept of Tawheed"
• "What are the conditions for valid prayer?"
