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.
Search for people using natural language queries. Find professionals by role, company, location, industry, or any combination. Returns matching profiles with contact info, work history, education, and optional AI relevance scoring. Important: This API is async. You POST to submit, get a request_id, then poll GET until status: "completed". Light searches complete in 3-40 seconds; premium searches take 30-300 seconds.
When presenting search results to the user, show all returned data for each person. Walk through: Result count โ total_stored, total_estimate, has_more, credits_charged Each person โ displayname, headline, bio, location, gender, estimated_age, total_experience_years, is_decision_maker Contact info โ best_business_email, best_personal_email, altemails, fullphone (if show_emails/show_phone_numbers were enabled) Social profiles โ LinkedIn URL, username, connections, followers Work history โ all organizations with title, dates, company details (industries, num_employees, funding, technologies) Education โ schools with degree, major, dates; note is_top_universities flag Interests โ work interests and certifications Patents โ title, date, reference, URL (if present) Languages โ spoken languages Score โ AI relevance score 0-1 (if profile_scoring was enabled) Insights โ AI-generated match reasoning (if insights were enabled) If has_more is true, tell the user there are more results available and offer to paginate using the next_cursor. If a field is missing from the response, it means no data was found โ skip it silently.
Required environment variables: NYNE_API_KEY โ your Nyne API key NYNE_API_SECRET โ your Nyne API secret Get credentials at https://api.nyne.ai. export NYNE_API_KEY="your-api-key" export NYNE_API_SECRET="your-api-secret" Verify they're set: echo "Key: ${NYNE_API_KEY:0:8}... Secret: ${NYNE_API_SECRET:0:6}..."
The API response can contain control characters in JSON string values that break jq. All examples use a nyne_parse helper that cleans and re-encodes JSON via python3. Define it once per session: nyne_parse() { python3 -c " import sys, json, re raw = sys.stdin.read() clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw) data = json.loads(clean) json.dump(data, sys.stdout) " }
Search for people by natural language query and poll until complete: nyne_parse() { python3 -c " import sys, json, re raw = sys.stdin.read() clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw) data = json.loads(clean) json.dump(data, sys.stdout) " } # Submit search request curl -s -X POST "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \ -H "X-API-Secret: $NYNE_API_SECRET" \ -d '{"query": "Software engineers at Google in San Francisco", "limit": 10, "type": "premium", "show_emails": true}' | nyne_parse > /tmp/nyne_search.json STATUS=$(jq -r '.data.status' /tmp/nyne_search.json) if [ "$STATUS" = "completed" ]; then echo "Search completed immediately." jq '.data | {total_stored, total_estimate, has_more, credits_charged}' /tmp/nyne_search.json jq '.data.results[] | {displayname, headline, location}' /tmp/nyne_search.json else REQUEST_ID=$(jq -r '.data.request_id' /tmp/nyne_search.json) echo "Request submitted: $REQUEST_ID (status: $STATUS)" # Poll until complete (checks every 5s, times out after 10 min) SECONDS_WAITED=0 while [ $SECONDS_WAITED -lt 600 ]; do curl -s "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search?request_id=$REQUEST_ID" \ -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \ -H "X-API-Secret: $NYNE_API_SECRET" | nyne_parse > /tmp/nyne_search.json STATUS=$(jq -r '.data.status' /tmp/nyne_search.json) echo "Status: $STATUS ($SECONDS_WAITED seconds elapsed)" if [ "$STATUS" = "completed" ]; then jq '.data | {total_stored, total_estimate, has_more, credits_charged}' /tmp/nyne_search.json jq '.data.results[] | {displayname, headline, location}' /tmp/nyne_search.json break elif [ "$STATUS" = "failed" ]; then echo "Search failed." jq . /tmp/nyne_search.json break fi sleep 5 SECONDS_WAITED=$((SECONDS_WAITED + 5)) done if [ $SECONDS_WAITED -ge 600 ]; then echo "Timed out after 10 minutes.

Basic search with fast results in 3-40 seconds. Best for quick lookups when you need a broad list of names and don't need deep profile data. AI features (insights, high_freshness) are NOT available for light type. Profile scoring is available. {"query": "Software engineers at Google", "type": "light", "limit": 50}
Balanced tier between speed and quality. Use when you want better matching than light but don't need the full depth of premium. Supports all AI features. {"query": "Engineering managers in fintech", "type": "medium", "limit": 25}
Comprehensive search taking 30-300 seconds. Best quality results with deepest profile matching. Required for maximum-quality insights and high_freshness results. Use when result quality matters more than speed. {"query": "AI researchers at top universities", "type": "premium", "limit": 10, "insights": true, "profile_scoring": true}
These features add intelligence on top of search results. Insights and High Freshness are NOT available for light type searches โ use medium or premium.
AI-generated analysis for each result explaining why this person matches your search query. Returns structured reasoning about the match relevance โ how their background, role, and experience align with what you're looking for. Invaluable for qualifying leads or evaluating candidates at scale. Use when you need to understand the "why" behind each match, not just the "who". {"query": "AI researchers in healthcare", "type": "premium", "insights": true, "limit": 10}
AI relevance scoring that assigns each result a score from 0 to 1, where 1.0 is a perfect match. Use to rank and prioritize results by relevance. Works with all search tiers including light. Combine with insights for both a score and an explanation. {"query": "Senior engineers at fintech startups", "profile_scoring": true, "limit": 25}
Prioritizes profiles that have been recently updated โ people who recently changed jobs, updated their LinkedIn, or have fresh activity. Use when recency matters: hiring recently active candidates, targeting people who just moved to a new role, or finding profiles with current contact info. Not available for light type. {"query": "Product managers who recently changed jobs", "type": "premium", "high_freshness": true, "show_emails": true}
