Slugify Skill

Overview

Slugify works by normalizing text, removing accents, stripping special characters, and replacing spaces with separators. Supports both hyphen and underscore separators with optional lowercase conversion.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as SlugifySkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "SlugifySkill",
  "arguments": {
    "text": "Hello World: A Complete Guide!"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about Hello World: A Complete Guide! in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for SlugifySkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`text`Required	string	The text to convert to a slug
`separator`Optional	string	The separator character `-_` default -
`lowercase`Optional	boolean	Convert to lowercase (default: true) default true

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "original": "Hello World! This is a Test & Example",
    "slug": "hello-world-this-is-a-test-example",
    "separator": "-",
    "lowercase": true,
    "length": 34
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`original`	string	`Hello World! This is a Test & Example`	Original input text before slugification
`slug`	string	`hello-world-this-is-a-test-example`	URL-friendly slug generated from the input text
`separator`	string	`-`	Separator character used to join words in the slug
`lowercase`	boolean	`true`	Whether the slug was converted to lowercase
`length`	number	`34`	Number of characters in the generated slug

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
