How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Find local UK tradespeople for a job, inspect their actual listings and service options, then use available customer tools to review and book a visit.
Installation

Four Hard Rules — Read First
- Use actual listings. Never invent a trader, service area, credential, review, price or available time.
- Respect public versus customer access. Public search does not authorise a booking. Inspect
tools/listand complete customer authentication for private operations. - Review before booking. Show the live total, service, address and time. Commit only after the customer approves that exact review.
- A checkout link is not payment. Report paid status only when
get_jobconfirms it.
Authentication
Public directory reads need no key. Signed-in customer operations use the client's OAuth flow. Keep credentials in the client store. If booking tools are absent, share the listing/contact handoff and explain that booking has not occurred.
Core Workflow
- Find the trade and area. Use
browse_tradesandsearch_traderswith the user's job and location, preserving the tool's supported filters. - Inspect the listing. Use
get_traderandget_service_options. Retain the exact returned listing reference and service identifier. - Prepare a booking when customer tools are available. Call
prepare_bookingwith the listing reference, service, full address and postcode supplied by the customer. Read its live slots,slotReferencevalues andrevision. - Get the review. Call
confirm_bookingwithexpectedRevisionand the chosenslotReferenceexactly. The first call returns the total and books nothing. Show that review. - Commit the approved booking. After the customer says yes, call
confirm_bookingagain with the exactconfirmedTotalAmount. Share itscheckoutUrl. - Check the result. Read
get_jobfor the booking/payment status. OnSLOT_UNAVAILABLEorSTALE_REVIEW, prepare again and obtain approval for the changed review.
Essential Tools
| Tools | Use |
browse_trades, search_traders | Find public listings for a trade and area. |
get_trader, get_service_options | Inspect a real trader and the service choices. |
prepare_booking, confirm_booking | Customer booking preparation, price review and approved commitment. |
quote_start, quote_answer, other advertised quote_* tools | Price work with no fixed-price service. |
list_my_jobs, get_job | Inspect the signed-in customer's jobs and status. |
start_job_checkout | Prepare a payment link for an amount due on a job. |
Use current tool schemas for required fields; do not guess customer information or create relationships from assumptions.
Common Patterns
- Find an electrician, plumber, carpenter or another listed trade: search by the actual job and area, compare returned listings and link to the selected profile.
- Book a fixed-price visit: prepare → review total/time/address → customer approval → commit → Stripe handoff.
- Request a quote: use the returned quote workflow, ask only for missing job details and preserve the customer's wording.
Supporting Resources

- Public/customer MCP: https://tradehand.com/api/mcp and https://tradehand.com/api/mcp/chatgpt
Common Gotchas
- A search result is not proof of availability or a completed booking.
- Empty local results describe current directory coverage, not all tradespeople in the area.
- Do not reuse a slot or price revision after the server reports it is stale.
- Do not state that money was paid from a checkout URL or redirect alone.
Quick Reference
Search → inspect → authenticate for customer actions → prepare → review → customer approves → book → payment handoff → check job.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
