Mailchimp Marketing API integration with managed OAuth. Access audiences, campaigns, templates, automations, reports, and manage subscribers. Use this skill when users want to manage email marketing, subscriber lists, or automate email campaigns. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Access the Mailchimp Marketing API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage audiences, campaigns, templates, automations, reports, and subscribers for email marketing.

https://gateway.maton.ai/mailchimp/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Mailchimp API endpoint path (e.g., 3.0/lists). The gateway proxies requests to your Mailchimp data center and automatically injects your OAuth token.
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

List IDs are 10-character alphanumeric strings Subscriber hashes are MD5 hashes of lowercase email addresses Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format The API has a 120-second timeout on calls Maximum 1000 records per request for list endpoints "Audience" and "list" are used interchangeably (app vs API terminology) "Contact" and "member" are used interchangeably (app vs API terminology) IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) to disable glob parsing IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
