What This Skill Does
Lets AI agents search and retrieve anime information using the Jikan API, an unofficial MyAnimeList wrapper. Supports title search, detailed lookups by MAL ID, seasonal listings, top charts, and upcoming releases. No account or API key required.
Wraps Jikan's multi-endpoint API into a single CLI so agents don't need to handle raw HTTP, pagination, or ID resolution manually.
When to use it
- Finding anime by a vague description or partial title
- Getting episode count and status for a specific show
- Browsing what's currently airing this season
- Looking up top-ranked anime for recommendations
- Checking upcoming anime before a new season starts
