Karma Skills

Agent skills for the Karma ecosystem — find funding opportunities, create and manage projects, administer funding programs, and post milestones and updates.

Quick Start

npx skills add show-karma/skills

Then ask your agent:

Create a project called "My DeFi App" on Optimism

Find active grant programs on Ethereum

Post an update on my project — we shipped the MVP

List reviewers for Optimism Audit Grants Season 8

Show pending applications for my grant program

Add a reviewer to my program

What Are Skills?

Skills are reusable instruction sets that encode domain expertise into repeatable workflows. Each skill teaches an AI agent how to perform a specific task within the Karma ecosystem. Skills work with any compatible agent client, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others.

The SKILL.md file contains YAML frontmatter (name, description, version, tags) followed by the instructions agents will follow.

Available Skills

Skill	Description
setup-agent	Register and get your API key — quick start (no account), email login, or manual. Saves key to shell config.
project-manager	Create and manage projects, grants, milestones, and updates on-chain. Handles all attestation actions in one skill.
funding-program-manager	Administer a funding program — manage reviewers, applications, milestones, payouts, grant agreements, and AI evaluations.
find-funding-opportunities	Search the Karma Funding Map for grants, hackathons, bounties, accelerators, VC funds, and RFPs.

All on-chain skills use the Karma Agent API with a server-side wallet. No gas fees, no browser wallet needed.

• No gas fees — transactions are sponsored via account abstraction
• No browser wallet — your agent gets a server-side wallet
• On-chain — every action creates a verifiable EAS attestation
• Client-agnostic — works with any AI agent that supports the Skills Standard

Skill Format

Each skill is a directory under skills/ containing:

skills/my-skill/
├── SKILL.md          # Skill definition (required)
├── references/       # Reference documents (optional)
└── assets/           # Templates, scripts (optional)

Karma Ecosystem

Karma helps projects build reputation and find funding opportunities. Karma's grants platform can be used by organizations to run their grant program (application intake, funds disbursal, milestone and metrics tracking). Key areas:

• Project Profile — Share progress updates, show traction and get funding
• Funding Map — Discover funding opportunities for your project
• Grants Management — Grant operators can administer grants efficiently
