Quickstart#

From a fresh install to a scored skill in three commands.

1. Install and scan#

bash
$ pip install skill-lab
$ cd path/to/your-skills
$ sklab

Running sklab on its own discovers every SKILL.md under the current directory and prints the getting-started guide.

2. Evaluate a skill#

bash
$ export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
$ sklab evaluate ./my-skill

Runs the full static check registry plus a 9-criteria LLM judge. Pass --skip-review to skip the LLM step if you do not have a key.

3. Gate CI#

yaml
# .github/workflows/skills.yml
- run: pip install skill-lab
- run: sklab check --repo

sklab check exits 1 on any high-severity failure, so it drops straight into a pre-merge job.
