Beacon skill
The installable agent skill for Beacon — the neutral, verified-merchant index AI shopping agents query to find merchants they can safely and legally buy from, specializing in regulated/age-gated commerce (alcohol first).

Works across 70+ agents via the skills CLI.
What agents get
| Surface | Where |
|---|---|
| MCP (preferred) | https://beacon-index.onrender.com/mcp — registry name io.github.primoliquors/beacon |
| REST fallback | https://beacon-index.onrender.com/agent/* |
| Discovery manifest | https://beacon-index.onrender.com/.well-known/beacon (trust_class=regulated) |
Why Beacon is different
- Earned trust only. Paid placement never moves rank — enforced in code and
regression-tested, and every ranking response says so (
ranking_basis). - Evidence on every fact. Results carry provenance an agent can audit.
- Real compliance, not self-declaration. Merchant license attestations come from the State of Florida's daily public records (DBPR/AB&T); age-gate and jurisdiction rules fail safe (illegal ship-to returns zero, not a guess).
- No shopper data. Beacon stores no shopper-level identity, ever.
