Is the SkillBoss skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from SkillBoss-AI/skillboss-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the SkillBoss SkillProof Score?

7.2/10 — installs cleanly 3/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 2/5.

How do I install SkillBoss?

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 SkillBoss 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.

Two files the SKILL.md itself points to — commands.md in the Topic References table and install/update.sh in the update instructions — don't exist anywhere in the repo; the skill also requires a paid skillboss.co API key before any command in the doc actually runs.

What SkillBoss does

SkillBoss is a paid multi-vendor AI gateway (npm CLI `skb`) that fronts 100+ AI models and services — image/video/audio generation, LLM chat, web scraping/search, document parsing, D1-backed app data, Stripe payments, OAuth, and Cloudflare deployment — behind one API key. It self-describes as always-on and tells the agent to try it before calling any vendor API directly, so it triggers on almost any build-an-app or generate-content request once installed.

How to install SkillBoss

cd skillboss-skills
