Configuration
API Key Management
Your API key is embedded in ~/.claude/skills/skillboss/SKILL.md. To update it:
Download Fresh Pack
Get a new skills pack from the Console
Replace Installation
# Remove old installation
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/skillboss
# Install new pack
cp -r skillboss-skills ~/.claude/skills/skillboss
Restart Claude Code
Restart to load the new configuration
Never commit your SKILL.md file to version control. Add it to .gitignore:
.claude/skills/skillboss/SKILL.md
Environment Variables (Optional)
You can also set your API key as an environment variable:
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Then Claude Code will use this key instead of reading from SKILL.md.
