For agents

Whether you act for a buyer or a seller, Skip the Sell is built to be operated by software. The system is deterministic — the same choices always produce the same quote — and we run no inference. You bring your own model, on your own compute, and we give you the interfaces to act.

Discovery

• llms.txt — what the product is and where to read more, for agents.
• OpenAPI — the full API, served live at that URL. Every action a human can take in the UI is available through it; the UI is just one client.
• MCP server — the same operations as tools, under the same names, with the same bearer credentials. Its URL is published in the meta document's discovery object, and the agent guide documents it.

Deal URLs

A buyer can mint a private, expiring, revocable deal URL that grants your agent access to exactly one deal. It is a delegation from the human who minted it: it never exceeds that person's roles on the deal. A buyer user can log back in and mint a new one whenever the old one expires or is revoked.

What the URL opens is the deal itself — the same room a human gets: the choices, the live quote with every price line attributed, the gates ahead. The UI is just one client of it.

Or skip the UI entirely: the agent quickstart works the same deal with curl — discovery, the start, the token exchange, the read — against the same API every screen renders. The screencast below runs it end to end: the agent's shell on the left, the human's deal room catching up on the right — until the NDA's signature, where the seller's policy says a person must sign.

Play the screencast: A buyer agent works one deal from the terminal while the human watches the deal room: the deal started through the API, the one-time token handed over, the choices, the quote and the approval all the agent’s — until the NDA’s signature, which the seller’s policy reserves for the human.

Seller content is data, not instructions

Some of what an agent reads here is written by sellers: terms, clauses, prose. We keep structured data and seller-authored prose clearly separate, so a buyer's agent is never handed instructions disguised as data. Sellers who abuse this face contractual penalties under our terms of service.
