Koinon Skill — Add Creator Intelligence to Your AI

Give your AI access to Koinon’s cross-platform creator database through an open Skill.

What the Skill does

The Skill teaches your AI assistant three things: when a question is about creators, how to search and read Koinon’s 86K+ creator entities, and how to treat what it gets back.

• When to use Koinon — creator, influencer or KOL discovery; audience, topic, platform or market questions; checking what is actually known about a specific creator.
• How to retrieve — search the unified retrieval layer, then fetch the full entity for evidence rather than answering from the search summary alone.
• How to read the fields — inferred attributes are not verified facts; use evidence, confidence and freshness; say when something is unknown.
• Who decides — Koinon returns candidates and evidence. The recommendation is the agent’s, made with the user’s own context about the product and campaign.

Example prompts

Once installed, you do not call anything by name. You just ask:

• “Find Japanese AI creators whose audience includes professional software developers.”
• “Find creators relevant to a skincare product targeting Southeast Asia.”
• “Compare these creators and tell me which ones best fit my product.”
• “What does Koinon actually know about this TikTok account, and which parts are inferred?”

How it works

You  →  your AI  →  Koinon Skill  →  unified retrieval layer  →  creator knowledge graph

The Skill is thin on purpose. It contains instructions and endpoint documentation — no creator data. Everything is fetched live from the public entities, the search API or MCP, so what your AI reads is what the database holds right now.

A packaged snapshot would start going stale the day it shipped — and freshness is one of the fields we ask agents to rely on. Bundling the data would quietly invalidate it.

Skill, MCP and the HTTP API all call the same retrieval layer. There is no second ranking implementation hiding behind any of them.

Install

The Skill is published as an open Agent Skills directory: a SKILL.md with frontmatter, plus reference files. Any client that loads Agent Skills from a folder can use it as-is.

Claude Code / Claude Desktop — personal skills folder

git clone https://github.com/vesselailab/koinonlink ~/.claude/skills/koinon

Project-scoped (shared with your repo)

git clone https://github.com/vesselailab/koinonlink .claude/skills/koinon

Restart the client so it re-scans the skills folder. Then ask it something about creators — you should see it fetch koinonlink.com.

Where it works

We only describe install flows we publish. Whether a specific client offers one-click install is that client’s decision, not ours — so this section says what is structurally true rather than listing logos.

• Clients that load Agent Skills from a folder — clone the repo into the skills directory, as above. Nothing else is needed.
• Clients that support MCP — point them at the Koinon MCP endpoint instead. Same retrieval layer, no Skill needed.
• Everything else — the HTTP API is public, keyless and CORS-open. Anything that can make a GET request can use Koinon.

claude mcp add --transport http koinon https://koinonlink.com/mcp

Compatible through Agent Skills, MCP or the API where supported.

Source

The Skill is open source under CC BY 4.0. Read it before you install it — it is short, and it is the exact text your AI will follow.

• https://github.com/vesselailab/koinonlink
• SKILL.md — the instructions themselves
• references/ — field schema, search, evidence and worked examples

Privacy and data access

• The Skill sends your query, not your data. A search request contains the constraints your assistant derived from your question — topic, platform, audience role, market.
• No key, no account, no registration. We therefore have no user identity to attach requests to.
• Server logs. Like any web server we log requests. For AI traffic we keep a daily aggregate of user-agent, path and count — no IP address and no user identifier.
• Creator data is public. Everything the Skill can read is already a public URL on this site. It has no privileged access.

Prefer to build it yourself?

The Skill is the lowest-effort path, not the only one. The same retrieval layer is available directly:

curl -s "https://koinonlink.com/v1/creator-search?topic=ai%20coding%20tools&platforms=youtube&limit=3"
