  Independence Blue Cross publishes no AGENTS.md, no skills directory and no agent-facing operating
  guide. devportal.ibx.com is a JavaScript-rendered single-page application that returns no readable
  content to a non-executing client. These skills are GENERATED from the provider's own OpenAPI
  operations plus live probes — every operationId referenced was grepped out of the specs in this repo,
  none are invented.

  Two of the three IBX APIs are public and unauthenticated. An agent can exercise real FHIR search and
  read semantics against the Provider Directory and Drug Formulary with no credentials, no member
  consent and no PHI exposure. Only reach for the Patient Access skill once you have a registered
  application and an authorizing member.
