Installation¶

skilly is distributed as a Python package (with a native Rust extension), a standalone npm package, and a Homebrew formula. All three deliver the same CLI; the Python distribution also provides the import surface.

Python (uvx / pip)¶

uvx skilly --help

Or install into a project:

uv add skilly
pip install skilly

Ships: Python package with full import surface + CLI. Pre-built wheels for Linux x64, macOS arm64/x64, and Windows x64.

Node (npx)¶

npx @xelandernt/skilly --help

Ships: Native Rust CLI. Pre-built binaries for macOS arm64/x64, Linux x64 glibc, and Windows x64.

Note: The npm distribution does not include the Python import surface.

Homebrew¶

brew tap xelandernt/skilly https://github.com/xelandernt/skilly
brew install xelandernt/skilly/skilly

Ships: Native Rust CLI. Pre-built binaries for macOS arm64/x64 and Linux x64.

Capability comparison¶

For the Python API, use the uv or pip installation. For CLI-only usage, any method works.

Verifying the installation¶

skilly --version
skilly --help
