Is the Kaggle skill free?

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

What is the Kaggle SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Kaggle?

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 Kaggle 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: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 54dcfe8

Code-reviewed the bundled credential checker line by line: it masks tokens, self-heals world-readable permission bits to 600, and never prints raw secrets — solid design — but the skill is unusable out of the box without a Python env, several pip packages, and a Kaggle API token the user has to generate manually.

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

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5

What Kaggle does

Wraps Kaggle's competitions, datasets, models, notebooks, discussions, benchmarks, and badges behind kagglehub/kaggle-cli scripts, with a credential checker and a dry-run-first policy before any submission, publish, or badge action. Triggers only when Kaggle is explicitly named (kaggle.com, a competition, a dataset URL); explicitly stays out of generic ML/GPU/dataset questions that aren't tied to Kaggle.

How to install Kaggle

git clone https://github.com/shepsci/kaggle-skill
cd kaggle-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/kaggle ~/.claude/skills/kaggle

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Kaggle

/kaggle Full Kaggle toolkit — competitions, datasets, models, notebooks, badges — gated behind explicit confirmation for anything account-visible.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Submit my notebook predictions to this Kaggle competition
Download this Kaggle dataset so I can explore it locally
Publish this notebook to Kaggle and check my credential setup first
