What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of reliably determining a user's human-readable WebFinger address (like user@domain.com) when only their ActivityPub actor URL is known, a process that is currently inconsistent across the Fediverse.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reverse Discovery: Implements FEP-2c59 to find a WebFinger address from an actor URL.
  • Handles Domain Mismatch: Correctly identifies WebFinger addresses when they are on a different domain than the ActivityPub server.
  • Validation: Ensures the discovered WebFinger address correctly resolves back to the original actor URL without redirects.
  • Use Case: When you have a link to a user's profile on a social platform and need to find their user@domain.com handle for cross-platform interactions or identity verification.
