Q: What is the difference between Skills and CC-Switch?
Skills are extensions that interact directly with QuickAPI inside your AI editor, ideal for users who primarily use a single editor.
CC-Switch is a unified management tool that can configure access for multiple AI tools simultaneously, ideal for users who switch between tools.
Q: What if my editor is not in the supported list?
Most AI editors support custom API configuration. As long as your editor supports setting custom API Base URL and API Key, you can connect to QuickAPI.
Q: Does using Skills incur additional fees?
No. Skills is just a bridge connecting you to QuickAPI. All AI call charges are calculated according to QuickAPI billing rules.
