Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 16, 2026

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 16, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Codifies real BD API quirks a generic REST client would get wrong — auto_image_import=1 to stop externally-sourced photos breaking, and that unknown category names auto-create on createUser but are silently skipped on updateUser; needs the user's own BD API key plus either the hosted brilliantmcp.com MCP or a local npx install.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Brilliant Directories does

Gives an agent programmatic control of a Brilliant Directories (BD) membership/directory site: create and bulk-import members, write blog/event/job posts, build the 3-tier category taxonomy, edit pages and SEO tags, and read leads/billing. Triggers on any mention of 'my BD site', 'my directory', or admin-panel-shaped tasks on a Brilliant Directories platform, and documents BD-specific API quirks (auto-image-import, auto-category-create) a generic REST client would miss.

How to install Brilliant Directories

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
