AI Assistant Setup Skill
A self-contained playbook any AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) can use to walk you through Split Pay configuration end to end — Stripe Connect prerequisites, Integrations tab, webhooks, vendor onboarding, and a verifying test transaction. Diagnoses the most common “why aren’t transfers happening” problems.

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude.ai (where Skills are enabled), Cursor (with skill loader), and any other tool that consumes Anthropic’s .skill bundle format. |
| ↓ split-pay-setup.md Raw markdown · 20 KB |
ChatGPT (Custom GPT instructions or uploaded knowledge file), Gemini, OpenWebUI, Cursor (without skill loader), and any AI that takes a system prompt or knowledge file. |
Both files contain the same instructions — the .skill is just packaged with Anthropic-compatible metadata, while the .md is the raw skill body. Clicking either link triggers a direct download (the download attribute keeps your browser from trying to render the file inline).
No native “open in Claude Desktop” deep link exists yet — Claude Desktop doesn’t register a URL handler for .skill files as of this writing. The expected flow is: download → then drag the file into your AI tool’s skill / instructions / knowledge field (see your tool’s section below).
This skill is instructional, not agentic. It tells your AI assistant what to do; it does not control your site or your Stripe account. If you want hands-on remote help, email support@gauchoplugins.com.
Install — Claude Code (terminal)#
cp ~/Downloads/split-pay-setup.skill ~/.claude/skills/Or extract and place the contents:
unzip ~/Downloads/split-pay-setup.skill -d ~/.claude/skills/Restart Claude Code. The skill becomes available automatically the next time you mention Split Pay setup or troubleshooting.
Install — Claude Desktop#
- Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Skills (or the Skills marketplace page if your workspace has it enabled).
- Click Add skill → upload
split-pay-setup.skill. - New conversations can now use the skill — just ask Claude about Split Pay setup or troubleshooting.
Install — Claude.ai (web)#
Open Settings → Skills → Add custom skill → upload split-pay-setup.skill. Availability depends on your plan and workspace settings.
Install — ChatGPT (Custom GPT)#
- Open ChatGPT → Explore GPTs → Create.
- In Configure → Instructions, paste the full contents of
split-pay-setup.md. - Optional: upload
split-pay-setup.mdas a Knowledge file too so the GPT can re-read it directly. - Save. The GPT now follows the Split Pay setup playbook on demand.
Install — Cursor / Windsurf / other IDE AI#
- Open the AI sidebar’s System Prompt or Custom Instructions settings.
- Paste the contents of
split-pay-setup.md. - Ask the AI about Split Pay configuration as usual.
Install — any other AI tool#
If your AI accepts a system prompt or knowledge file, paste/upload split-pay-setup.md. If it only accepts conversation messages, paste the file contents into your first message followed by your actual question.
What this skill covers#
- Stripe Connect prerequisites before you open the plugin (including the “WooCommerce.com-issued account” trap that bites a lot of users).
- Auditing your current Integrations tab state and identifying which of the seven common misconfigurations is biting you.
- Walking the fixes in the order Stripe + Split Pay expect (Connect → keys → sync accounts → sync webhooks → test).
- A verifying test transaction protocol — test cards, expected webhook deliveries, and a failure-mode table for when things still don’t work.
- When to escalate to support@gauchoplugins.com and exactly what to attach.
What this skill does not do#
- Touch your site or Stripe account for you — it’s instructional, not agentic.
- Cover WordPress / hosting / theme issues unrelated to Split Pay.
- Replace the canonical docs at docs.splitpayplugin.com — read there for feature-by-feature details.

1.0.0 — initial release, May 2026.
The latest version is always at docs.splitpayplugin.com/getting-started/ai-assistant/. Bookmark and re-download periodically as the playbook gets refined with new troubleshooting cases.
Once installed, just ask your AI assistant about Split Pay setup or troubleshooting in your own words. The skill description teaches it when to fire automatically; no need to memorize a command.
