Getting Started

This guide shows the shortest path to analyze a skill with Skill Lab.

1) Install the CLI

Follow CLI Installation.

2) Analyze a local skill

bash
slab analyze ./path/to/skill

The target directory should contain SKILL.md at its root.

3) Analyze a GitHub skill

bash
slab analyze https://github.com/org/repo

For repositories with multiple skills, scope to one skill directory:

bash
slab analyze https://github.com/org/repo --subDir skills/my-skill

4) Read the result

Skill Lab reports a deterministic analysis result with:

  • permissions: requested and inferred capabilities
  • risks: typed risk signals with severity
  • score and riskLevel: aggregate risk output
  • summary: compact, human-readable assessment

Use JSON output when integrating with tooling:

bash
slab analyze ./path/to/skill --json
