SkillHub

Install the CLI

Install the SkillHub command-line tool from npm (or run it ad hoc with npx) and verify it works.

Everything you do with SkillHub runs through its command-line tool. It ships as an npm package, so if you already have Node installed you're one command away.

Prerequisites

You need a recent version of Node.js on your machine. The CLI is distributed on npm, so a working npm (or npx) comes along with it.

Install and verify

Install globally. The usual path is a global install, which puts the CLI on your PATH:

npm install -g skillhub-cli

This gives you the skillhub binary, along with a shorter alias, skh, that you can use interchangeably anywhere skillhub appears in these docs.

Verify it. Confirm the CLI is on your PATH and check its version:

skillhub --version
skillhub --help

--help prints the full command list. Every command also accepts --help on its own for command-specific usage.

Prefer not to install anything globally? For a one-off command or a throwaway environment, run it ad hoc with npx — no install required:

npx skillhub-cli --help

What's next

The CLI works anonymously for some read-only tasks, but to publish or install private skills you'll need to sign in. Head to Authenticate.
