SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Upskill automates the discovery and provisioning of new capabilities by scanning NPM and PyPI, installing packages globally to ~/.claude, and generating ready-to-use skill docs for immediate use by Claude Code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery & selection of official packages from NPM and PyPI to extend Claude's capabilities.
  • Global installation of selected packages to ~/.claude/ for universal access across tasks.
  • Skill structure generation producing SKILL.md, full-docs.md, and metadata.json to enable immediate use and documentation.

Quick Start

  1. Trigger: /skill upskill <package> or mention a need for a new integration.
  2. The system searches registries, installs the package to ~/.claude, and generates the skill artifacts.
  3. Test the new skill and then invoke it with commands like /skill <package> or directly reference the skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install NPM or PyPI packages globally for Claude Code to use?▼

To install NPM or PyPI packages globally for Claude, you can trigger the upskill command to automatically discover, install, and generate ready-to-use skill artifacts under the ~/.claude directory.

What is the best way to generate skill documentation for a newly installed package?▼

Generating skill documentation for a newly installed package is automated by upskill, which analyzes package APIs and produces SKILL.md, full-docs.md, and metadata.json files for immediate use.

How does package discovery from registries work when an API is missing?▼

When an API is missing, package discovery from registries works by scanning NPM and PyPI for official packages, installing them globally to ~/.claude, and validating the installation before activation.

Can I automate tool provisioning and integration without manual configuration?▼

Yes, you can automate tool provisioning without manual configuration by issuing a /skill upskill command, which handles registry search, global package installation, and skill structure generation automatically.

Are there limitations to extending Claude capabilities with registry packages?▼

Limitations of extending Claude capabilities with registry packages include relying strictly on available official packages from NPM and PyPI, requiring global installation to ~/.claude before activation.

Do I need to validate installations before activating newly generated skills?▼

Yes, you need to validate installations before activating newly generated skills, as the provisioning process analyzes APIs, generates skill artifacts under ~/.claude/skills, and tests the installation before activation.
