Configuration

The sb CLI stores its configuration in a JSON file at ~/.config/sb/config.json.

File location

~/.config/sb/config.json

The directory is created with permissions 0700 and the file with 0600 to protect your API token.

Format

{
  "token": "sk-your-api-key",
  "base_url": "https://skillsbin.com"
}

Field	Required	Description
token	Yes (for most commands)	Your API key from skillsbin.com/settings.
base_url	No	Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://skillsbin.com.

How values are set

• token — Written by sb auth <token>.
• base_url — Written only when --base-url is passed to any command with a non-default value.

Global flags

These flags are available on every command:

Flag	Default	Description
--claude	false	Output structured JSON instead of human-readable text. See Claude mode.
--base-url	""	Override the API base URL for this invocation.

Base URL resolution order

1. --base-url flag (if provided)
2. base_url from config file (if set)
3. https://skillsbin.com (default)
