Not if Google Pay has been used as the transaction agent. It's not a Google Play subscription.

Well, you can't if you paid using a debit card, like I did. Silly me.

It clones the skills repo if not present and relies on the git last commit as the "version".

Be careful: paying with Google Pay is extremely easy and the default setting is monthly recurrence. If you're not logged in, the only way to cancel (as far as I know) is by sending an email, which is incredibly precarious.

We keep the skills in a repo, where an agentic workflow runs biweekly to check if their content drifted compared to the docs and opens PRs if they did. The repo is also a Claude plugin. The biggest problem is keeping skills up to date acros

Seeing all the questions in this thread, I strongly recommend Dachary Carey's post on the topic of agent-ready docs: https://dacharycarey.com/2026/02/18/agent-friendly-docs/

Code doesn't explain best practices, architectural concerns, and so on. Best combo? Docs + code.
