sklab info#
Skill metadata and token cost estimates (discovery / activation / on-demand).
Also available over HTTP. The Skill Info endpoint runs the same logic on the server against a GitHub repository — useful when you want results in a browser, a CI job without installing Python, or an agent that reaches skill-lab.dev directly.
Usage#
bash
sklab info [SKILL_PATH] [OPTIONS]Shows the parsed frontmatter fields and three token-cost estimates: discovery (name + description — the cost to keep the skill loaded), activation (full SKILL.md body), and on-demand (references / assets / scripts). Useful for catalog pages and budget planning — no LLM call, no API key required.
Arguments#
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
SKILL_PATH | no | Path to the skill directory. Defaults to the current directory. |
Options#
| Flag | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
--json | flag | Emit structured JSON (pipe-friendly). |
--field, -f | <NAME> | Extract a single field by dotted path (e.g. tokens.activation). |
Examples#
