DIMO Platform Skill

The DIMO Platform Skill is a knowledge pack for AI coding agents. Loaded into an agent like Claude Code or Cursor, it gives the agent the DIMO platform already in its head: the architecture, the API surface, the SACD permission model, contract addresses, and SDK method signatures. The agent stops guessing at endpoints and schemas and starts writing integrations that compile and run.

Why it exists​

LLMs are confident even when they are wrong. Ask one to write a DIMO integration from memory and it will often invent endpoint paths, mix up the two JWT issuers, or cite a contract address from an old README. The skill closes that gap by giving the agent verified ground truth to reason from, with pointers to the source of record for anything that can change.

What it covers​

  • System architecture — the node hierarchy, how identity, telemetry, and attestation fit together, and the two-tier JWT auth chain.
  • APIs — Identity, Telemetry, Fetch, Token Exchange, Attestation, Device Definitions, and Vehicle Triggers, with auth requirements and query examples.
  • SACD permissions — the on-chain permission model and the privilege list.
  • Protocol — contract addresses, the node registry, and the rewards and DCX credit model.
  • SDKs — installation and method signatures for the JS/TS, Python, and C# server SDKs and the React client SDK.

Understand, then act: pair it with the MCP server​

The skill and the DIMO MCP Server are complements, not alternatives:

  • The skill is how an agent understands DIMO. It is knowledge, loaded at design time, so the code the agent writes is correct.
  • The MCP server is how an agent acts on DIMO. It exposes live tools, so the agent can query data, decode a VIN, or mint a vehicle at runtime.

Use both together and an agent can reason about the platform and operate on it in the same session.

Get started​

Add the skill to your agent and pair it with the MCP server:

  1. Install the skill from github.com/DIMO-Network/dimo-platform-skill following the README for your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, and others).
  2. Connect the DIMO MCP Server for live tool access.
  3. Point your agent at a task. It now has both the knowledge and the tools to build on DIMO.
