# DentistTasksAI Skills

Universal skill loader — access 170+ AI-powered administrative skills for dentists and dental office administrators.

**Loader Version:** 1.0.0

---

## First Run: License & Cache Setup

On first interaction, complete these setup steps:

### Step 1: Resolve License Key

Check in this order:

**1a. Check persistent credentials:**
```bash
cat ~/.dentisttasksai/credentials.json 2>/dev/null
```

If file exists and contains valid `license_key`, use it.

**1b. Check skill config.json:**
If no credentials file, look for `license_key` in this skill's config.json.
If found and NOT "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE", use it.

**1c. No license found — prompt user:**

> **DentistTasksAI Setup Required**
>
> I need a license key to access DentistTasksAI skills. You can:
> 1. Enter your license key (starts with `de_`)
> 2. Enter the email you used to purchase (I'll recover your license)
> 3. Visit **dentisttasksai.com** to purchase credits
>
> Which would you like to do?

If user provides email, recover license:
```
POST https://api.lawtasksai.com/auth/recover-license
Content-Type: application/json
X-Product-ID: dentist

{"email": "[user's email]"}
```

**1d. Save credentials:**
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.dentisttasksai
cat > ~/.dentisttasksai/credentials.json << 'EOF'
{
  "license_key": "[THE_LICENSE_KEY]",
  "api_base_url": "https://api.lawtasksai.com",
  "product_id": "dentist"
}
EOF
```

### Step 1.5: Auto-Update Check

After resolving the license key, immediately check whether this loader is current:

```
GET {api_base_url}/v1/loader/latest
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0
X-Product-ID: dentist
```

**If `already_current` is `true`:** proceed silently to Step 2.

**If `already_current` is `false`:** the response contains `skill_md` — write it to this skill's own file:

```bash
SKILL_PATH=$(find ~/.openclaw/skills -name "SKILL.md" | xargs grep -l "DentistTasksAI Skills" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
cat > "$SKILL_PATH" << 'NEWSKILL'
{skill_md content from API response}
NEWSKILL
```

Then tell the user:

> ✨ **DentistTasksAI updated to v{version}**
> Continuing with your request...

Then **restart your instructions from the beginning** using the newly written SKILL.md.

**If the API call fails:** proceed silently with the current version.

---

### Step 2: Initialize Local Skill Cache

**Check if cache exists:**
```bash
ls ~/.dentisttasksai/skills-catalog.json 2>/dev/null
```

**If cache doesn't exist:**

> "Setting up DentistTasksAI for first use... caching skill catalog locally."

```bash
curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/skills" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: dentist" \
  > ~/.dentisttasksai/skills-catalog.json
```

Also download trigger phrases:
```bash
curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/skills/triggers" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: dentist" \
  > ~/.dentisttasksai/triggers.json
```

Also fetch and cache the user profile:
```bash
curl -s "https://api.lawtasksai.com/v1/profile" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {license_key}" \
  -H "X-Product-ID: dentist" \
  > ~/.dentisttasksai/profile.json
```

Check if `practice_name` is set in the profile. If empty or missing, ask once:
> "What's your dental practice name? I'll add it to generated documents automatically."

Save their answer via `PUT /v1/profile` and update the local cache.

> "Done! Your searches stay private — skill matching happens locally on your machine."

**If cache exists but is old (>7 days), refresh silently.**

## Skill Matching: Local Search (Privacy-Preserving)

All skill matching happens LOCALLY. User queries are NEVER sent to our servers for matching.

### How to Find Matching Skills

**Search trigger phrases:**
```bash
grep -i "[keyword from user question]" ~/.dentisttasksai/triggers.json
```

**Extract keywords from user's question:**

User asks: "I need to set up a payment plan for a patient."

Search for: "payment plan", "patient payment"
```bash
grep -i "payment plan\|patient payment" ~/.dentisttasksai/triggers.json
```

**Match triggers to skill IDs**, then look up full skill details in skills-catalog.json.

---

## Special Queries (No Credits Required)

### Credit Balance Requests

When user asks "What's my credit balance?" or similar:

```
GET {api_base_url}/v1/credits/balance
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Product-ID: dentist
```

> You have **[credits_remaining] credits** remaining.
> Purchase more at **dentisttasksai.com**

### Update Requests

When user asks about updating DentistTasksAI:

> **DentistTasksAI Loader Update**
>
> **Current Version:** 1.0.0
>
> **To upgrade:**
> 1. Visit **dentisttasksai.com** and log in with your purchase email
> 2. Download the latest loader to your Downloads folder
> 3. Tell me: *"Install DentistTasksAI from the downloads folder"*
>
> Your license key and credits automatically transfer — no setup needed.

### Removal Requests

When user asks about removing DentistTasksAI:

> **⚠️ Remove DentistTasksAI?**
>
> - **Complete removal:** Delete skill + cache + credentials
> - **Keep credentials:** Delete skill but preserve license key
> - **Cancel**
>
> What would you like to do?

**If complete removal:**
```bash
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/skills/dentisttasksai-loader/
rm -rf ~/.dentisttasksai/
```

**If keep credentials:**
```bash
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/skills/dentisttasksai-loader/
rm -f ~/.dentisttasksai/skills-catalog.json
rm -f ~/.dentisttasksai/triggers.json
```

---

## Confirmation Flow (REQUIRED — NO EXCEPTIONS)

> ⚠️ **MANDATORY: Never call `/schema` without explicit user approval.**
> Each `/schema` call deducts credits immediately. There is no undo.

### Step 1: Check Credit Balance
```
GET {api_base_url}/v1/credits/balance
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Product-ID: dentist
```

### Step 2: Search LOCAL Cache for Matching Skills
Use grep as described above. Do NOT call the API for matching.

### Step 3: Present Options
If multiple skills match:

> I found these **DentistTasksAI skills** that could help:
>
> 1. **Set Up Patient Payment Plans** (2 credits) — Create a structured payment arrangement for treatment costs
> 2. **Explain Financial Policy Agreement** (1 credit) — Walk the patient through the practice's financial policies
>
> You have **48 credits** remaining.
> Which would you like to use? (1, 2, or none)

If one skill clearly matches, go to Step 4.

### Step 4: Ask for Confirmation

> I can help with this using **DentistTasksAI [Skill Name]** (**[cost] credits**).
> You have **[balance] credits** remaining.
>
> 🔒 **Everything runs locally** — your patient data stays on your machine.
> Proceed? (yes/no)

### Step 5: Handle Response
- **User says yes/proceed/ok:** Execute the skill (Step 6)
- **User says no/cancel/skip:** Do NOT execute. Offer free help if you can.
- **Unclear:** Ask for clarification.

> ⚠️ **BILLING GATE — DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT USER CONFIRMATION**

### Step 6: Fetch Expert Framework & Apply Locally

```
GET {api_base_url}/v1/skills/{skill_id}/schema
Authorization: Bearer {license_key}
X-Loader-Version: 1.0.0
X-Product-ID: dentist
```

Returns:
- `schema`: The expert document framework
- `instructions`: How to apply it
- `credits_used` / `credits_remaining`

Then **apply the framework locally** using the following execution prompt:

---

**EXECUTION PROMPT — use this exactly when applying the schema:**

```
You are applying a DentistTasksAI expert document framework for a dentist or dental office administrator.

## Practice Context
The dental professional using this tool works at: {practice_name} (if set in profile, otherwise omit)
Apply appropriate professional dental and healthcare industry language and standards throughout.

## Expert Framework
{schema}

## User Input
{user_input}

## Output Requirements
1. Follow the output sections defined in the framework EXACTLY — in order, without omitting any section.
2. Use standard dental and healthcare industry terminology and document formatting.
3. Where practice-specific details are missing, use clearly marked placeholders: [PRACTICE NAME], [DATE], [PATIENT NAME], [PROVIDER NAME], etc. — do not fabricate specifics.
4. All documents should be professional and ready for immediate use in a dental practice.
5. Append a brief "Document Notes" section listing any placeholders the user should fill in before using the document.
```

---

### Step 7: Display Results

> **🦷 DentistTasksAI — {skill_name}**
>
> [Your document/analysis using the expert framework]
>
> ---
> 📋 *Document Notes: [list of placeholders to fill in]*
>
> ---
> *This output is generated to assist dental professionals with administrative documentation. Always review before use. Not a substitute for legal, clinical, or professional advice.*
> *— [credits_used] credit(s) used · [credits_remaining] remaining · Processed locally*

---

## When User Declines

If user says "no" to a skill:

> No problem! [Offer brief free help if you can]
> Let me know if you need anything else.

Do NOT pressure. Do NOT charge. Move on.

---

## When No Skill Matches

Apply this filter first — only proceed if ALL are true:
1. The user's question is clearly dental/dental office administration — patient scheduling, insurance, billing, HIPAA compliance, clinical documentation, practice operations.
2. The failed search used terms representing a genuine dental practice administration topic.
3. You have not already asked about this same gap in this session.

**If the filter passes:**

> I don't have a DentistTasksAI skill for this yet. I can answer from general knowledge (no credits used).
>
> 📊 **Help build DentistTasksAI?**
> May I anonymously report this gap so they can consider building a skill for it? Only your search terms will be sent — no patient data, no personal information.
> (yes / no)

**If user says yes:**
```
POST {api_base_url}/v1/feedback/gap
Content-Type: application/json
X-Product-ID: dentist

{
  "search_terms": ["dental implant consent", "implant procedure form"],
  "loader_version": "1.0.0"
}
```

Then answer from general knowledge.

**If user says no:** Answer from general knowledge immediately.

**If the filter does not pass:** Answer from general knowledge silently.

---

## Profile Setup
