Hey,
A meaty update this time. Two flagship things: you can now connect Skills IL directly to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI agent through your account (free during beta), and there's a new skill generator that turns a Hebrew or English description into a ready-to-install SKILL.md. I also added a new skill for Israelis working abroad as digital nomads.
Connect Skills IL to your AI agents
I launched an MCP server that wires the entire catalog directly into your agent. One-time connect with your Skills IL account (one click from the agent's Connectors menu), then you can ask Claude "find me a skill to fill out Form 1322" and it'll search the catalog, surface the right skill, and open a try-skill chat without leaving the conversation. Free for the whole beta. Works with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI agent.
New skill generator
Describe in a sentence what you want your agent to do, and you'll get back a complete SKILL.md ready to install in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and more. The generator knows the whole catalog, so if a matching skill already exists it'll recommend it, and either way the output points to real Israeli sources (government, VAT, Bituach Leumi) instead of making links up. There are also 10 inspiration pages in Hebrew with everyday scenarios if you're stuck. Over 30 skills have been generated in the first few days.
The WhatsApp community keeps growing
If you didn't catch the last update, the group is open. That's where I post news first, answer questions as they come in, and sometimes sanity-check with the group before I decide what skill to build next. Veteran users help each other there too, so if you're stuck on something, chances are someone's already been through it.
Israeli Digital Nomad Navigator
New skill for Israelis weighing a move abroad to work, or already doing it and not wanting to cut the Israeli side off. The skill picks the right visa for an Israeli passport (Thailand DTV via the Tel Aviv embassy, Spain DNV, Portugal D8, plus ten more countries, with a note that Indonesia banned Israelis from Bali visas in 2026), walks the Israeli tax-residency tests, kupat cholim continuity, the difference between Israeli-payroll employee and freelancer invoicing under VAT Section 30 zero-rate, and Form A1 totalization. Includes the 1 January 2026 abolition of the 10-year reporting exemption.
For developers: Pelecard Payment Gateway
A skill for anyone integrating Israeli credit-card processing into a web or mobile app. Covers the iframe at gateway21.pelecard.biz, ActionType selection, installments, tokenization, server-side ConfirmationKey validation, refunds, 3D Secure 2, Bit wallet, and Apple Pay. If you're a business owner who needs to add card processing, this is the skill you hand to your developer or AI agent.
Did you know?
MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is an open standard Anthropic released in November 2024. The idea is simple: instead of every AI-agent vendor building bespoke integrations, there's one protocol every agent speaks. In under a year it became the de-facto standard, and OpenAI adopted it in ChatGPT too. The new Skills IL connector is exactly an MCP server like that.
Thank you for being part of this
The catalog now has 175 skills, 44 MCP servers, 12 bundles, and 16 design systems. If you have an idea for the next skill, you can submit it through the skill submission page. If you spotted something inaccurate in an existing skill, you're welcome to reach out through the contact form.
