Introduction¶
When home equipment suddenly fails, the common dilemma isn’t necessarily “being unable to find anyone,” but rather scattered information: whom to contact for warranties, how to compare platforms, and what to confirm before a technician arrives. This often requires piecing together information through ad-hoc searches. If you treat an Agent as a generic Q&A tool, the answers tend to be vague, lacking the structure needed to sort channels by warranty status, provide price ranges, and offer pre-booking checklists.
“Home Repair Booking” is a community Skill (life-service) on SkillHub. It constrains the Agent via a standard SKILL.md file: when users mention repair booking, finding a technician, or on-site repair intents, the Agent follows fixed steps to collect fault information and outputs tiered channel recommendations, price references, and anti-scam checklists. It cannot replace you in completing the actual booking on a platform or over the phone; this is clearly stated in the skill’s documentation.
What This Is¶
- Positioning: An instruction-based Skill for “finding repair services” dialogue scenarios. It helps organize recommended channels, common price ranges, anti-scam tips, and pre-booking preparations, rather than providing DIY repair tutorials or interior design advice.
- Coordinates & Version:
@user_70c2f807/home-repair-booking, current version 1.0.1 (Source: community). - Maintainer: SkillHub Publisher user_70c2f807 (Author nickname displayed on page: QQQ).
- Metadata: Category life-service, subcategories include “Local Life” and “Home Assistant”; Tag requires_api_key=false, no API Key configuration needed after installation.
- Store Data (Based on SkillHub page and scraped data): Rating 100000, Downloads 772, Installation Statistics 0; Security Scan result: “Safe, No Risks”.
Official Entry Points:

- API Identifier: https://api.skillhub.cn/user_70c2f807/home-repair-booking
Core Functions¶
The following capabilities are derived from the SKILL.md within the package; the Agent is required to execute according to the documentation when trigger words are matched.
Triggers & Boundaries
- Applicable: User mentions “repair booking,” “finding a master (technician),” “on-site repair,” or English terms like repair booking / find repairman / home service.
- Not Applicable: DIY repairs, appliance purchases, interior design; the documentation explicitly states it “cannot book directly,” and actual ordering must be done by the user on recommended platforms or via phone.
Execution Chain (Three Steps)
- Understand the Fault: Device and symptoms, brand and warranty period, urgency, and location (city).
- Recommend Channels: Prioritize official after-sales service if under warranty; recommend platforms and community channels for out-of-warranty cases, comparing pros/cons and price ranges.
- Anti-Scam Guidance: Items to confirm before booking, on-site precautions, common scams, and post-repair acceptance criteria.
Output Capabilities
- Lists channels tiered by Official → Platform → Community (including contact method types and cost range templates).
- Reference tables for common fault repair prices, anti-scam checklists, and distinctions between in-warranty and out-of-warranty handling.
- Built-in FAQ (call-out fees, vouchers/proof of service, emergency handling, etc.) and error scenario prompts.
Security & Privacy (Skill Self-Description)
- Does not store addresses or device information; involves no actual booking or payment; suggests having someone accompany you during on-site visits and controlling the disclosure of personal information.
Installation & Activation¶
Before installation, confirm the skills directory of your local Agent; SkillHub documentation emphasizes using --dir to point to this directory, otherwise, it defaults to ./skills/ which may not be recognized by the current client.
1. Install SkillHub CLI (if not already installed)¶
command -v skillhub && skillhub --version
If not installed, execute the full installation script (see SkillHub Installation Instructions):
curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash
2. Install this Skill via CLI¶
Install the skill to the current Agent’s skills directory. Taking Cursor as an example, the directory is ~/.cursor/skills/:
skillhub install @user_70c2f807/home-repair-booking --dir ~/.cursor/skills/
Other common client paths (excerpted from official installation docs, select based on your actual client):
- Claude Code:
~/.claude/skills/ - Codex:
~/.codex/skills/or.agents/skills/under the project - Gemini CLI:
~/.gemini/skills/
If the CLI index misses, download the Zip from the SkillHub page (version 1.0.1), and place the directory containing SKILL.md into the skills path mentioned above after extraction:
curl -fsSL -o home-repair-booking-1.0.1.zip \
"https://api.skillhub.cn/api/v1/download?slug=@user_70c2f807/home-repair-booking"
3. Let the Agent install it (Official Page Prompt)¶
The installation prompt provided on the SkillHub details page is: Please install @user_70c2f807/home-repair-booking according to https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md. You can send this sentence to an Agent that supports reading Skill installation documentation to let it complete the installation under the corresponding --dir.
4. Enable & Configure¶
- This Skill does not require an API Key (
requires_api_key=false). - After installation, restart or refresh the session according to your client’s requirements to load the
SKILL.md.
Typical Usage¶
The “Quick Start” section within the package provides a reproducible dialogue pattern. Once installed, you can trigger it directly using natural language:
User: Who should I contact to fix a broken air conditioner?
→ Recommend repair channels (Official/Platform/Community) with price references
User: Approximately how much will it cost?
→ Provide common repair price ranges for this fault
User: How can I avoid being scammed?
→ Provide repair anti-scam guides and precaution checklists
User: Who should I contact if it's under warranty?
→ Suggest contacting official after-sales service and explain the warranty process
User: What should I prepare before on-site repair?
→ Provide a confirmation checklist before booking
The Agent organizes the reply according to the output templates in SKILL.md (channel priority, price tables, pre-booking/on-site checklists, etc.). Prices and platform names are generated by the model combined with the skill framework; the skill has declared that “prices are for reference only” and “there are large differences between cities,” so actual costs are subject to on-site quotes.
Applicable Scenarios & Notes¶
Who is it for
- Individual users or teams embedding Agents in products who need to quickly obtain “channel tiering + price comparison ideas + anti-scam checklists” during dialogue.
- Users already using clients that support skills directories (like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) and are willing to manage community skills via SkillHub.
Limitations & Pitfalls
| Point | Description |
|---|---|
| Cannot book on behalf | Only provides suggestions; booking and payment must be completed by the user on platforms or via phone. |
| Prices are not a commitment | Documentation states prices fluctuate greatly and require multiple inquiries for comparison. |
| No service quality guarantee | Recommends legitimate channels to reduce risk but does not vouch for the skill level of technicians. |
| Regional differences | Skill self-description states it does not understand local market conditions; cities affect channels and quotes. |
| Misuse scenarios | Do not use for pure DIY tutorials, appliance selection, or renovation construction; documentation points to other skills or channels. |
Community Source (community), author has not displayed official verification (isAuthorVerified: false). It is recommended to read the SKILL.md inside the Zip yourself and check it against the SkillHub security report before using it in a production environment.
Conclusion¶
“Home Repair Booking” consolidates the scattered information of finding a technician into a repeatable Agent workflow: first clarify the fault and warranty, then provide reference prices and anti-scam items by channel, and clearly state that it cannot replace real booking.
