$ npx skills add ginuim/skill-base --skill skill-base-web-deploy -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install ginuim/skill-base skill-base-web-deploy --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ginuim/skill-base.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/skill-base-web-deploy .claude/skills/skill-base-web-deploy && rm -rf skills-src

Guide to deploying and running the Skill Base server with npx or Docker: startup options, data directory, port and base path, and SQLite database backup.

  • Hosting a private Skill Base server for a team
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, When NOT to Use This Skill, Contributor profiles and Quick Start (npm package), plus 8 more sections
  • Calls npx, pnpm and docker
  • Changing the listening host, port, base path or data directory of the server

What it does

This skill covers setting up and operating the Skill Base platform server, which needs Node.js 18 or newer. The quick start is `npx skill-base -d ./skill-data -p 8000`. Port 8000 is the default, and without a data directory the data ends up in npm cache paths, so production runs should always set one with -d.

Startup options are tabulated: port, host (default 0.0.0.0, with 127.0.0.1 for local-only access), a data directory that sets DATA_DIR and the skills.db database path, a base path for subpath deployment such as /skills/, flags to disable the mascot and to turn on debug logging, and help and version output. The description also lists Docker configuration, port mapping, SQLite backup and the platform's collections, tags and GitHub import.

A note on contributor profiles says the web UI has user profile pages and that the rebuilt static folder must be deployed with the updated server, with no new environment variables or migrations. The skill is limited to the Skill Base server itself: questions about the skb command go to the skill-base-cli skill, and Docker or database questions for other projects are out of scope.

When your agent uses it

  • Hosting a private Skill Base server for a team
  • Changing the listening host, port, base path or data directory of the server
  • Backing up or migrating the Skill Base SQLite database

Example prompts

  • “Start a Skill Base server on port 9000 with its data in ./skill-data.”
  • “Deploy Skill Base under the /skills/ subpath and bind it to localhost only.”
  • “How do I back up the Skill Base database before upgrading?”

Requirements

  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • Docker, for the container deployment option

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5fc42f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • pnpm
    • docker

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, pnpm and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skill Base Server Deployment loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 597 words (~1,361 tokens).

“This skill guides you through setting up and operating the Skill Base platform server. Requires Node.js >= 18.”
