How-to

I have a goal — what are the steps?

Author a new loop

How to add a loop — the closed loop.json contract, the three stage types, gate rules, and the checks that will reject a loop that only looks like governance.

Read →

Author a new skill

The short version of the authoring path — what a skill must contain, what gates it, and where the full contributor rules live.

Read →

Benchmark skills against the agent without them

Run each acceptance eval twice as an agent session, with the skill and without it, and read the lift, the blind preference from two judges, and the cost.

Read →

Contain a skill's reach

Run a project's shell commands in Claude Code's sandbox, limited to the folder and the network hosts its skills declare, without loosening anything you already set

Read →

Roll out skilldrop across your org

Bootstrap the hosted marketplace for every machine in one command — covers the public catalogue and private-fork setups for enterprise orgs.

Read →

Govern skills across an organisation

Decide which catalogues and skills people may install, see what is installed on every machine, and keep a log of every change that shows if it was edited

Read →

Install a skill into your IDE

Put a skill where Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, Codex, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot or another agent reads it, by copying the folder or with one CLI flag, then install its dependencies.

Read →

Install skills, packs and loops

Install a role's pack, one skill, a loop or the reviewer subagents with the skilldrop CLI or the Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Read →

Use skilldrop with Figma

Connect Figma files to the architecture and diagram skills — generate diagrams for FigJam, produce Figma-ready specs from a design session, or reverse-engineer decisions from a mockup.

Read →

Use skilldrop with GitHub Projects

Pipe GitHub issues and project boards into skilldrop skills — implementation loops, review gates, and release notes that trace back to issues.

Read →

Use skilldrop with Jira

Feed Jira tickets and epics into skilldrop skills — bug triage, story splitting, implementation loops, and release notes.

Read →

Use skilldrop with Linear

Feed Linear issues, cycles, and projects into skilldrop skills for triage, story splitting, implementation tracking, and release notes.

Read →

Measure your loops

Turn on the opt-in, local-only run log, then see which gates pass first time, which keep looping back, and which end in BLOCKED.

Read →

Install a profile

Named bundles of packs, agents, and loops — install a complete setup in one command.

Read →

Publish your own catalogue

Shape a repo so `skilldrop --from <you>` installs from it, and how the CLI reads agentbundle-shaped catalogues too.

Read →

Release a change

Take a merged change to live users with the release loop — a rollout plan with a way back, a readiness check on evidence, release notes, and your go/no-go call.

Read →

Run a skill in CI

Use the skilldrop GitHub Action to run a skill on every pull request, such as a document critique or a pre-merge review, post the result to the job summary, and optionally fail the check on a verdict.

Read →

Supply credentials to skills

How to provide API keys and tokens to skills that declare env.required — covers local shells, CI environments, and enterprise secret managers.

Read →

Upgrade installed skills

Check which installed skills and loops are stale and bring them current, keeping any files you edited and your hook wiring.

Read →

Use skills with MCP servers

Pair skilldrop skills and loops with MCP servers so the agent fetches tickets, designs, PRs, incidents, query results and cost data itself, add a server in each supported tool, and do it without handing an attacker your data.

Read →

Verify a release

Check that a skilldrop-cli release came from this repository's release workflow, unchanged, using npm's provenance, the GitHub attestation on the release tarball, and its SBOM.

Read →

Wire a skill to an event

Opt-in hooks: how a loop-shaped skill binds to session-start or pre-commit-review, and how the CLI projects that onto each target.
