sb init

Install the built-in SkillsBin skill into your current project, enabling Claude to use the sb CLI directly.

Usage

Terminal window
sb init

What it does

sb init writes a SKILL.md file to .claude/skills/skillsbin/ in your current directory. This file contains instructions that teach Claude how to use the sb CLI — how to get, put, and search for skills.

Once installed, Claude can automatically pull skills from SkillsBin when it needs them.

Example

Terminal window
cd my-project
sb init
# Installed SkillsBin skill to .claude/skills/skillsbin/SKILL.md
# Claude can now get and put skills from SkillsBin.

Output

The command creates:

.claude/skills/skillsbin/SKILL.md

If the file already exists, it is overwritten with the latest version embedded in the sb binary.
