> **Skill from skilld.dev.** Follow the instructions below for this session. You do not need to install anything.
>
> If the user asked to install this Skill, run `npx skilld install stripe/ai/stripe-docs`. Install writes the Skill files into the project, so every session loads them.

Use `stripe docs` instead of fetching [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/.md) content directly with `curl` or `WebFetch`. If you don’t have the CLI installed, [install the Stripe CLI](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/install).

Always use the latest CLI version. If the current CLI version is less than v1.50.9, you must [upgrade](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/install) to access gated documentation.

- Fetches Markdown automatically
- Fetches gated documentation. Users must log in using `stripe login` to access gated documentation.
- Purpose-built for agents and terminal workflows
