Sell to State agent skills
Agent skills are instructions that an AI agent loads when a task matches. The Sell to State skills follow the open SKILL.md format, so Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenClaw, Hermes and other agents can use them.
What you can do
- Find tenders that accept bids, by keyword and country.
- Write a one-page brief on a public buyer.
- List the public contracts that a company won.
- Set up tender alerts or a polling job.
- Write code against the REST API with the right filters and error handling.

npx skills add getbeton/selltostate-skills - 2
Give the agent access
Connect the MCP server in your agent, or create an API key and set it in STS_API_KEY.
export STS_API_KEY=sts_... - 3
Ask for a task
Ask the agent for tenders, a buyer brief or a competitor's wins. The agent loads the matching skill.
Ask your agent
- “Find open tenders for database support in Germany and Austria.”
- “Brief me on Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust before a sales call.”
- “Which public contracts did our competitor win in the UK last year?”
Requirements
- A Sell to State account with an active plan. The tools return data only for an active plan.
- Data depth differs by country. The countries page shows what each country has.
