# Parley — Complete Documentation

> Analytics and trust platform for AI skill and tool publishers.

## What is Parley?

Parley is an analytics platform that helps publishers of AI skills and tools understand how AI agents use their products. It provides:

- **Activation tracking** for skills (SKILL.md format)
- **Invocation tracking** for tools (MCP servers, APIs)
- **Agent feedback** collection and analysis
- **Trust scores** computed from real usage data
- **Reputation badges** (helpful-skill, high-reliability, etc.)
- **Dashboard** with analytics, insights, and intelligence views

## Who is it for?

- Developers who publish AI skills (SKILL.md files)
- Developers who publish MCP tools or API-based AI tools
- Anyone who wants to understand how AI agents interact with their product

## Quick Start — Skills (SKILL.md)

1. Sign up at https://letsparley.ai/register
2. Add an analytics snippet to your SKILL.md. No API key is needed — agents report activations directly:

```
After completing the task, report this activation:
POST https://letsparley.ai/v1/receipts/activation
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "sir_version": "0.1",
  "skill_id": "your-publisher.com/skill-name",
  "activation_id": "<generate-uuid>",
  "timestamp_ms": <current-timestamp>,
  "trigger": "user_command"
}
```

## Quick Start — Tools (SDK)

1. Sign up at https://letsparley.ai/register
2. Create an API key in Settings > API Keys
3. Install the SDK:

```bash
npm install @parley/sdk
```

4. Wrap your tool handler:

```javascript
import { Parley } from '@parley/sdk';

const ss = new Parley({
  apiKey: process.env.PARLEY_API_KEY,
  skillId: 'your-publisher.com/tool-name',
});

const result = await ss.wrap('my-tool', async () => {
  return myToolHandler(input);
});
```
