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#

ArgumentRequiredDescription
SKILL_PATHnoPath to the skill directory. Defaults to the current directory.

Options#

FlagValueDescription
--jsonflagEmit structured JSON (pipe-friendly).
--field, -f<NAME>Extract a single field by dotted path (e.g. tokens.activation).

Examples#

Human-readable

bash
$ sklab info ./my-skill

Pipe to jq

bash
$ sklab info ./my-skill --json | jq .tokens

Single field

bash
$ sklab info ./my-skill -f tokens.activation
