# Coverage Cat Developer Portal

## Coverage Cat developer quickstart

Coverage Cat is best when an agent needs to do one of four jobs:

- Help a shopper use Coverage Cat's consumer umbrella or homeowners handoff surfaces.
- Delegate an umbrella or homeowners quoting workflow to Coverage Cat with operator auth.
- Call read-only insurance calculators or the homeowners agent finder.
- Pull developer guidance, auth requirements, and sandbox notes from stable public URLs.

If you only need a human-readable hub, start with `/ai/skills`. If you need machine-readable entry points for a shopper-facing flow, start with `/api/consumer`, `/api/consumer/openapi.yaml`, or `/.well-known/mcp.json`. If you already have operator auth for a delegated workflow, start with `/api/agent` and `/api/agent/openapi.yaml`.

## Coverage Cat runtime skills

Coverage Cat publishes two delegated purchase skill files and one read-only tools skill in the public repo:

- [`umbrella-insurance-compare-and-purchase`](https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills/tree/skills/skills/umbrella-insurance-compare-and-purchase)
- [`homeowners-insurance-compare-and-purchase`](https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills/tree/skills/skills/homeowners-insurance-compare-and-purchase)
- [`insurance-tools`](https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills/tree/skills/skills/insurance-tools)

Legacy compatibility names remain available in the same repo for existing installs.

The public runtime markdown downloads live at:

- `/api/agent/skill.md`
- `/api/agent/homeowners/skill.md`
- `/agent-plugin/plugin.json`

## Coverage Cat public skills repo and agent rules

Coverage Cat publishes installable public skills at `https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills`. Agents should start with `/agents.txt`, `/.well-known/agents.txt`, `/AGENTS.md`, `/agents.md`, or `/.well-known/agents.md`, then use the official skill directories at `https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills/tree/skills/skills` before they install or use a Coverage Cat skill. The on-site guide intentionally mirrors the GitHub copy at `https://github.com/Coverage-Cat/skills/blob/skills/AGENTS.md`.

## Multi-language starter samples

Coverage Cat's shopper-safe consumer discovery document is the fastest starting point for a personal shopping agent. From there, call the consumer-prefill flow instead of sending the shopper straight to `/umbrella`.

```sh
curl https://coveragecat.com/api/consumer
curl -X POST https://coveragecat.com/api/consumer/umbrella/prefill \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Coverage-Cat-API-Version: v1" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: demo-consumer-prefill-1" \
  -d '{"credit_consent_pending":true,"intake":{"full_name":"Taylor Example","email":"taylor@example.test","address":{"street":"123 Main St","city":"San Francisco","state":"CA","zip":"94107"}}}'
```

```javascript
const discovery = await fetch("https://coveragecat.com/api/consumer").then((response) => response.json());
console.log(discovery.preferred_openapi_url);
```

```python
import requests

discovery = requests.get("https://coveragecat.com/api/consumer", timeout=30).json()
print(discovery["preferred_openapi_url"])
```
