What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins in plugins/carsxe/carsxe-codex-plugin/skills/international-vin/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

When the user provides a VIN that appears to be from a non-US vehicle (European, Asian, etc.):

  1. Make an HTTP GET request to the CarsXE International VIN Decoder API:
    GET https://api.carsxe.com/v1/international-vin-decoder?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&vin={VIN}&source=codex_plugin
    
  2. Present the decoded data: country of manufacture, make, model, year, engine, transmission, body style.
  3. Note this endpoint is optimized for international VINs outside the US market.
  4. If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the CARSXE_API_KEY environment variable (see AGENTS.md).
