GETTING STARTED
Getting Started
Skani is a tool for managing agent skills across development environments. This guide acts as initial extraction protocol to get your environment ready for skill preservation.
Prerequisites
Before extracting intelligence, ensure your environment meets the minimum biological requirements. Skani requires one of the following runtimes to be fossilized in your system path:
Bunv1.0+
or
Node.jsv18.0+
01Initialize a Project
Run the following command in your project directory to create a skani.json file. This acts as amber casing for your project's skills.
➜~npx skani init my-project
✔ Project initialized in ./my-project Created skani.json manifest
02Install a Skill
Install skills directly from GitHub repositories. The skill is pulled, verified, and preserved within your manifest.
➜~npx skani install owner/repo
You can also specify a version:
➜~npx skani install owner/repo@v1.2.3
03List Installed Skills
View all preserved specimens in your current environment.
➜~npx skani list
