Quick start

git clone https://github.com/bolvein-firex/scraping-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r scraping-skills/skills/aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review-scraper ~/.claude/skills/
export APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token

Start Claude Code and ask for the job in plain words, for example "AliExpress product search export". Claude matches your request to the skill's description and follows its steps. To run a skill without an agent:

node ~/.claude/skills/aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review-scraper/scripts/run.mjs            # uses references/example-input.json
node ~/.claude/skills/aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review-scraper/scripts/run.mjs input.json # or your own input file

Output fields are the Actor's own column names, read from its dataset schema at publish time.

FAQ

What is an agent skill?

A folder with a SKILL.md file: YAML frontmatter (name, description) followed by instructions, plus optional scripts and reference files. The agent reads the description and loads the rest only when a request matches it.

How do skills work in Claude Code?

Put a skill folder in ~/.claude/skills/ (all your projects) or .claude/skills/ inside a repository (that project only). Claude Code picks up the skills when it starts and uses one when your request matches its description. You can also name the skill in your request.

Do they work with other agents?

Yes. SKILL.md is plain markdown, and the run step is a curl call or node scripts/run.mjs (Node 18 or newer), so any agent that can read files and run a shell command can follow it.

Are these skills free?

Yes. The skills are MIT-licensed. Each one calls a public Apify Actor on your own Apify account, so the only cost is that Actor's usage.

Do I need an Apify account?

Yes. Set APIFY_TOKEN to an API token from https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations. Apify's free plan includes a monthly usage credit, which is enough for small test runs.

How much does a run cost?

It depends on the Actor's pricing (per result, per event or per compute unit) and on how many rows you ask for. The Actor's Pricing tab shows the current price; keep the limit in the example input small for a first run.

Do I need an MCP server?

No. Each skill calls the Apify REST API directly. If you already use Apify's MCP server, the Actor IDs in each skill work there too.

How a skill is laid out

skills/<skill-name>/
  SKILL.md                      # frontmatter + when to use, what it returns, inputs, how to run
  scripts/run.mjs               # minimal Node runner (APIFY_TOKEN; the Actor ID is built in)
  references/example-input.json # starter input
  references/input-schema.json  # the Actor's full input schema
  references/output-fields.json # the Actor's declared output fields
