| name | skat-dk |
| description | skat.dk — the Danish Tax Agency's public citizen portal. Covers the nine top-level borger sections, URL & language conventions, TastSelv login launchers, on-site Cludo search, and internal APIs (Next.js JSON data feed, Cludo search API, sitemap). Use when looking up Danish tax topics, finding self-service launchers, navigating skat.dk's URL space, fetching content programmatically, or translating articles across languages. |

skat.dk — Danish tax agency citizen portal
https://skat.dk/ is the Danish Tax Agency's public website. The /borger subtree is the citizen-facing information layer (vs. /erhverv for businesses); both are anonymous and built on a Next.js front-end backed by an internal Umbraco Headless CMS. Personal data and self-service forms live on https://www.tastselv.skat.dk/ (TastSelv) and require MitID or a legacy TastSelv-kode. There is no public read API for personal tax data.
Default page language is Danish; respond in Danish unless the user signals otherwise. Each Danish article has matching slugs in up to seven languages.
The skat CLI — use this first
For everything programmatic — searching, reading page content/metadata, walking the navigation tree, finding language siblings, enumerating URLs — use the skat CLI. It wraps the three useful read surfaces (Next.js data feed, Cludo search, sitemap) so you should not fetch pages or call those APIs by hand. The CLI can be run from anywhere, no need to point at the skill directory:
skat <subcommand> [options]
Prerequisites
Verify the CLI is installed:
which skat
If missing, install it editable with pipx (from the skill directory). First make sure pipx itself is available, then install:
which pipx || python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
pipx install -e <path-to-skat-dk-skill>
After installing, confirm skat is on the PATH (you may need to restart the shell so pipx ensurepath takes effect):
which skat
Pure Python standard library — no extra dependencies. Each subcommand exits non-zero on HTTP error.

skat search --site <SITE> selects a theme; --lang da|en|de picks the language variant. Run skat engines for the authoritative live map. The main themes and their engine IDs (used by --engine and skat settings <engine>):
--site value | da | en | de | default |
|---|
SKAT (default) | 13369 | 13460 | 13213 | 13514 |

Common citizen tasks
- Find an article on a tax topic →
skat search <topic> (add --lang en/--site as needed), or skat page borger/<section> --field 'pageProps.content.page.childPages[].url' to browse a section's children.
- Read in English/German →
skat search "..." --lang en, or pull language siblings: skat page borger/<section> --field 'pageProps.content.page.pageLanguageVersions[].pageUrl'.
- List all citizen URLs →
skat sitemap --prefix /borger/.
- Vehicle / customs / property / debt topic → search the sister-site theme:
--site MOTORST | TOLDST | VURDST | GAELDST (run skat engines for the full list).
Out of scope
Personal tax data and self-service forms require MitID/TastSelv login at the website and are not covered by this skill.
