Excerpt

Skillgrade Evaluation Setup

Procedures

Step 1: Install Skillgrade

Verify Node.js 20+ and Docker are available.
Run npm i -g skillgrade to install the CLI globally.

Step 2: Initialize an Eval Configuration

Navigate to the skill directory (must contain a SKILL.md).
Set the appropriate API key environment variable (GEMINI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or OPENAI_API_KEY).
Run skillgrade init to generate an eval.yaml with AI-powered tasks and graders.
If an eval.yaml already exists, pass --force to overwrite: skillgrade init --force.
Without an API key, a well-commented template is generated instead.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
