Automated summary
This skill bundles Stripe payment and billing operations (customers, subscriptions, invoices, payments, products) and loads only the relevant operations on demand to save context.
Strengths
- Loads operations on demand, cutting context use substantially compared with a full Stripe MCP server
- Covers the core billing cycle: customers, subscriptions, invoices, payment intents, products and prices
- Clearly flags write operations as requiring confirmation
- Ships with a security section and a troubleshooting table (invalid key, rate limits, webhook failures)
Limitations
- Assumes STRIPE_SECRET_KEY is already set in the environment; it does not walk through initial setup
- Depends on the stripe Python package or the Stripe CLI without explaining how the skill chooses between them
- Does not cover advanced Stripe areas such as disputes, coupons or free trials
Use it when an agent needs to perform routine Stripe billing tasks such as creating a customer, managing a subscription or issuing a refund.
Avoid it for advanced or out-of-scope Stripe scenarios (disputes, Connect, coupons) or when no Stripe API key is available in the environment.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill uses powerful tools (Bash) and handles sensitive Stripe credentials for legitimate billing operations, including payment creation and refunds. It includes warnings and marks write operations as requiring confirmation, but those controls are advisory rather than enforced. There is no evidence of destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated behavior, so it is not risky, but it warrants caution due to live payment capability and secret handling.
- •Requires STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and supports live-mode keys, enabling real payment/refund operations through Bash.
- •Write operations are documented as requiring confirmation, but the skill does not enforce gating, allowlists, or a mandatory confirmation workflow.
- •Bash access is broad and not explicitly limited to Stripe CLI/Python commands, so an agent could run other shell commands if manipulated.
- •No explicit policy restricting use to test mode or protecting sk_live_ keys beyond a warning.

Quick Reference
# List customers
stripe customers list --limit 10
# Get subscription
stripe subscriptions retrieve sub_xxx
# Create payment intent
stripe payment_intents create --amount 2000 --currency usd
Configuration
- STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: API key (sk_test_xxx or sk_live_xxx)
- STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET: Webhook signing secret (whsec_xxx)
Security
⚠️ NEVER expose API keys in logs or output ⚠️ Test mode keys (sk_test_) for development only ⚠️ All write operations require confirmation
Agent Integration
- developer (primary): Payment integrations
- analyst (secondary): Billing analytics
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Invalid API key | Check STRIPE_SECRET_KEY format | | Rate limited | Implement exponential backoff | | Webhook failed | Verify STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET |
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/download' --output '.skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
Original excerpt: Requirements

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp'openskills read 'stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/stripe-billing-operations-mmh8qqzp/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
