Is the GitLab Skill skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from ekohe/gitlab-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the GitLab Skill SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install GitLab Skill?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use GitLab Skill with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 60c8950

Ran scripts/gitlab_api.py get-issue for real against a local fake GitLab-API server (127.0.0.1) and it correctly fetched the issue plus its notes; the skill's issue_summary_format.md then turned that flat JSON into a structured, business-impact-first executive summary versus a plain unstructured baseline dump of the same fields.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What GitLab Skill does

Wraps the GitLab REST API (issues, MRs, diffs, comments) behind a Python CLI, with reference-format guides for executive issue summaries and structured code reviews, plus an automation script that creates a branch, pushes, and opens an MR tied to an issue. Triggers on GitLab issue/MR numbers or explicit summarize/review/resolve requests; requires the user's own GitLab instance URL and personal access token (disclosed, standard for any GitLab integration).
