  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 157 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Servosity on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Datagate AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/datagate
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Servosity/msp-skills.git /tmp/msp-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/msp-skills/skills/datagate .claude/skills/datagate
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Datagate in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Datagate on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Datagate is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

DataGate - Claude Code Skill

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the datagate-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

  1. macOS / Linux:
    bash
    bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/datagate/install.sh)
  2. Windows (PowerShell):
    powershell
    iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Servosity/msp-skills/main/skills/datagate/install.ps1 | iex
  3. Verify: datagate-cli --version
  4. Ensure ~/.local/bin (macOS / Linux) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\msp-skills (Windows) is on $PATH.

The installer downloads the datagate-cli and datagate-mcp binaries into ~/.local/bin (macOS / Linux) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\msp-skills (Windows). It does not register the skill with your agent and writes no MCP client config - see mcp-install.md to wire up the MCP server for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or another MCP-speaking agent.

Authentication

Set two environment variables before running any command that reaches the live API:

bash
export DATAGATE_API_KEY="<your Bearer token>"
export DATAGATE_CLIENT_ID="<your ClientId GUID>"

Both come from your DataGate account. There is no OAuth flow and no token expiry - the Bearer token and ClientId header together identify your account for every request. Run datagate-cli doctor after setting them to confirm connectivity.

What this connector covers

Read-only access (list, get, search) across DataGate's resource groups: customers, customer users, agreements, service items, assignments, rate cards, sites, product templates, kit templates, invoices, products, delivery methods, product transactions, and account managers. See governance.md for exactly which commands are read vs. write in this build (all read, in this version).

Local mirror

datagate-cli sync pulls the resource groups into a local SQLite database so datagate-cli search "<term>" can answer offline instead of paging through the live API by hand. Useful for repeated lookups across a large customer list without burning API calls against DataGate's rate limit (60 requests/minute, 5,000/day, per account).

Common commands

bash
datagate-cli doctor                                          # verify auth + connectivity
datagate-cli customers list --json
datagate-cli customers get <customer-id>
datagate-cli agreements list --select id,customerId,name,status --json
datagate-cli invoices --period-start 2026-08-01T00:00:00Z --period-end 2026-08-31T23:59:59Z --json
datagate-cli sync
datagate-cli search "<customer name or invoice number>"

See guide.md for the full command reference and mcp-install.md for wiring this up as an MCP server.

Known gaps

  • This build is read-only. DataGate's full CRUD surface is documented but this connector only implements list/get/search - no create, update, or delete.
  • A handful of endpoint paths (sites, products, product-templates, kit-templates, delivery-methods, product-transactions, account-managers) were derived from DataGate's own naming convention rather than individually confirmed against a live tenant - see the "awaiting live verification" note on this connector's catalog entry. If you run this against your own DataGate account and hit a wrong path, please file it (see CONTRIBUTING.md, rung 2).
  • Invoice search is POST /invoices/search with a JSON filter body, not a documented GET /invoices - the CLI models this correctly, but it's worth knowing if you're comparing against DataGate's own API docs.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

and 97 more files.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Datagate AI skill do?

Every DataGate telecom billing API resource - customers, agreements, invoices, sites, products, and more - plus a local SQLite mirror and offline search. Trigger phrases: `datagate invoices`, `datagate customer lookup`, `pull this month's datagate invoices`, `use datagate`, `run datagate`.

Why use Datagate on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Datagate is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Datagate in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Servosity/msp-skills/tree/main/skills/datagate. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Datagate?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Datagate?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Datagate with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Datagate AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Servosity under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
