feat(skill): add AI skill section to README, security note, update .skill package
- README: new section documenting the ckan-mcp skill (purpose, examples, install via npx skills, Claude Desktop .skill file, skills.sh link) - SKILL.md: add Security section warning to treat external CKAN content as untrusted (prompt injection mitigation) - skills/claude-desktop/ckan-mcp.skill: rebuilt with all session updates (correct europa.eu country filter, Flow A EU fallback, Flow C tool choice, SPARQL/CKAN API docs, security note) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 🧠 AI Skill for smarter multi-step queries
435+
436+
The MCP server provides the raw tools — the skill teaches your AI assistant **how to use them intelligently**.
437+
438+
Out of the box, an AI assistant knows each tool individually. The skill adds higher-level reasoning: which portal to query for a given country, what to do when a portal is unreachable, how to fall back to the European open data portal, and how to construct queries that actually return results.
439+
440+
**What the skill adds:**
441+
442+
- **Country routing** — automatically identifies the most authoritative CKAN portal for a country (national > regional > local)
443+
- **Fallback chain** — if a portal is unreachable or returns 0 results, tries alternatives and, for European countries, falls back to `data.europa.eu` with correct country filters
444+
- **Query construction** — bilingual queries, parser selection, `fq` syntax, wildcard handling
445+
- **Correct API patterns** — the European portal (`data.europa.eu`) requires specific `facets+facetOperator+facetGroupOperator` parameters that are undocumented and easy to get wrong; the skill encodes this correctly
446+
447+
**Examples of what the skill enables:**
448+
449+
```
450+
"Find road accident data in Portugal"
451+
→ ckan_find_portals(country="Portugal") # finds 3 regional portals
452+
→ ckan_package_search on each → 0 results
453+
→ [tells user] "No results on Portuguese CKAN portals. Trying data.europa.eu..."
454+
→ curl "https://data.europa.eu/api/hub/search/search?q=acidentes+rodoviarios
455+
&facetOperator=AND&facetGroupOperator=AND&facets={"country":["pt"]}"
456+
→ 157 datasets found — reported with source and filter details
457+
```
458+
459+
```
460+
"Find French open data about energy"
461+
→ [knows data.gouv.fr is NOT CKAN — redirects to data.europa.eu]
462+
→ curl "...?q=energie+energy&facets={"country":["fr"]}..."
463+
→ Results filtered strictly to France
464+
```
465+
466+
### Install the skill
467+
468+
The skill folder lives at [`skills/ckan-mcp/`](https://github.com/ondata/ckan-mcp-server/tree/main/skills/ckan-mcp) in this repository and is listed on [**skills.sh**](https://skills.sh/ondata/ckan-mcp-server). Use the [Skills CLI](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills#readme) to install it:
469+
470+
```bash
471+
# Install globally (available in all your projects)
472+
npx skills add -g ondata/ckan-mcp-server
473+
474+
# Or for a single project (run from your project folder)
475+
npx skills add ondata/ckan-mcp-server
476+
```
477+
478+
### Claude Desktop — `.skill` file
479+
480+
For Claude Desktop, a ready-to-import `.skill` package is available at [`skills/claude-desktop/ckan-mcp.skill`](https://github.com/ondata/ckan-mcp-server/blob/main/skills/claude-desktop/ckan-mcp.skill). Download it and drag it into Claude Desktop to install directly.
