Ellora agent skills

Ellora checks writing before it ships. It reviews a draft against the team's saved brand-voice profile (VoiceDNA), strips flat, generic AI phrasing (AI Editor), and enforces the rules in a writing brief (Editorial). It runs as a hosted MCP server, so the agent you already use does the writing and Ellora does the review.

This repository holds the skills that teach an agent to connect to Ellora and run that review loop on every draft. The front-door skill is the same file served at https://getellora.com/SKILL.md.

Install

Every path below needs a Free plan account at https://app.getellora.com/register. Use Create account, enter your email, accept the terms, and enter the code you receive. The first time your client calls Ellora, it opens a browser window where you sign in and approve the connection. There is no API key.

Claude Code: plugin with skills and the MCP server

claude plugin marketplace add getellora/agent-skills
claude plugin install ellora@getellora

The plugin registers the MCP server as plugin:ellora:ellora and loads both skills. Run /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate that server.

claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Cowork

  • Plugin: open Customize > Plugins > Add > Add marketplace, enter getellora/agent-skills, and install Ellora. Then connect Ellora from the plugin's Connectors tab.
  • Connector only: open Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector and enter https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp.

Cursor

Open this link to add the server, or add the JSON entry below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=ellora&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5nZXRlbGxvcmEuY29tL3YxL2V4dGVybmFsL21jcCJ9

VS Code

Open this link, or run MCP: Add Server and choose HTTP:

vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22ellora%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A//api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp%22%7D

Codex

codex mcp add ellora --url https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp
codex mcp login ellora

Grok

  • Grok Build reads Claude Code marketplaces, so the Claude Code commands above also work there. To add only the server: grok mcp add --transport http ellora https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp.
  • grok.com: open https://grok.com/connectors, select New Connector > Custom, and enter the server URL.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http ellora https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp

Then run /mcp auth ellora inside Gemini CLI.

ChatGPT

Until the ChatGPT directory listing is live, add Ellora as a custom connector with the server URL. Your workspace may need developer mode turned on for custom connectors.

Any other MCP client

Add a remote HTTP (Streamable HTTP) server named ellora:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ellora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses the same entry under a servers key instead of mcpServers.

Skills only, for any agent that reads skills from GitHub

npx skills add getellora/agent-skills

This installs both skills into every supported agent it finds, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Grok, and GitHub Copilot. Add -g for a user-wide install, or --skill ellora for the front-door skill only. To copy by hand, put skills/ellora in .agents/skills/ (Codex, Cursor, Cline, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot), .claude/skills/ (Claude Code), .windsurf/skills/, or .grok/skills/.

From the URL

Tell your agent: set up https://getellora.com/SKILL.md. The agent fetches the skill, saves it, and connects.

Data and privacy

The plugin holds Markdown skills and JSON manifests. It runs no code on your machine and installs no packages.

It connects one remote MCP server, https://api.getellora.com/v1/external/mcp, over HTTPS. You sign in to it with OAuth in your browser, and the token stays with your MCP client.

When you ask for a review, the model sends the draft text and the IDs of your voice profile and writing brief to that server. It also reports the client and model name when it knows them. Ellora stores each draft it reviews and the review result in your own workspace, so you can see them in the app. A passing review also updates the voice profile it used. If you approve it, the model can save writing rules or a context document to your workspace too. Nothing goes to any other host.

Ellora's privacy policy is at https://getellora.com/privacy/ and its terms are at https://getellora.com/terms/.

What the skill does

Once loaded, the agent:

  1. Checks whether the ellora_* tools are available in the session.
  2. If they are not, walks the user through adding the server and signing in, or registering.
  3. Once connected, runs the review loop before it shows any draft: pick a voice profile, pick a writing brief, start a session, review, rewrite from the returned guidance, and repeat until verification passes.

The skill triggers on mentions of Ellora, deslop or AI slop, brand voice QA, voice or tone checks, style guides, writing briefs, voice profiles, and requests to review or rewrite a draft.

Keeping the copies in sync

The copy served at https://getellora.com/SKILL.md comes from the private ellora-website repository, and this note is for the maintainers of both. A change to the skill lands in both places in the same pass: skills/ellora/SKILL.md here and public/SKILL.md there. Bump metadata.version in both files and version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json and plugin.json. Claude Code keeps plugin users on the old version until that number changes. When the server's tool surface changes, set version in server.json to the server's new #[Version] and run the registry workflow.
