Adds a skill for tasks that need real U.S. residential property data: valuation lookups, listing search, price and tax history, schools. Zillow's public API (ZWSID) was retired in 2021, so generated code that targets it fails at runtime. The skill points Copilot at endpoints that exist and covers the practical parts: resolve by zpid rather than address, select fields, render a valuation with its as-of date, treat absent data as absent rather than zero. Contributed by Zero Point Studio, who build and operate the API the skill calls. Regenerated docs/README.skills.md with npm run build.

The previous reference URL 404s. There is no rendered docs page; the spec at zillapi.com/openapi.json is the canonical reference and is the same document the skill tells the reader to verify endpoints against.

zillow.comURL a user pasted.Why this is a gap rather than something the model already handles. U.S. property facts are not derivable from a model's weights and change continuously; no single open dataset publishes them. Zillow's own public API (ZWSID) was retired in 2021, so generated code that targets it, or that is written from memory of it, fails at runtime. The skill points Copilot at endpoints that exist and covers the parts developers actually get wrong: resolve by zpid rather than address because address strings are unstable, select fields rather than fetching the whole record, render a valuation together with its as-of date, and treat absent data as absent rather than zero.
Affiliation. I work at Zero Point Studio, who build and operate the API this skill calls. Disclosed in the skill frontmatter as well. Written to the guidance in #968: no pricing, no signup links, no free-tier language; the only links are the API base, the MCP endpoint and the docs.
