SkillLane v0.1.0 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-01-15


SkillLane is an open-source skill runtime and registry for AI agents. It lets you create, validate, install, run, and share reusable agent skills — bundles of instructions, tools, and examples that give agents consistent, repeatable behavior.

Tagline: Skills are infrastructure for agents.


What's included

Core

  • Local skill runtime with ~/.skilllane/ storage
  • Skill format with 5 required files (metadata.json, SKILL.md, tools.json, examples.md, eval.md)
  • 100-point validation scoring with secrets detection
  • 4 creation templates (basic, debugging, writing, product-launch)
  • Skill runner with 3 output modes and 8 target environments

CLI

skilllane init
skilllane create my-skill --template debugging
skilllane validate ./my-skill
skilllane install ./my-skill
skilllane list
skilllane search debug
skilllane run systematic-debugging --task "Fix the bug"
skilllane serve
skilllane mcp
skilllane doctor
skilllane demo

TypeScript SDK

import { SkillLaneClient } from '@talocode/skilllane';

const client = new SkillLaneClient();
await client.init();
const result = await client.runSkill({
  skillName: 'systematic-debugging',
  task: 'Debug a TypeError',
  target: 'opencode',
});

HTTP API

17 routes including health, skills CRUD, validation, registry, and demo.

skilllane serve
curl http://localhost:3080/health

MCP Server

12 tools exposed via Model Context Protocol for MCP-compatible clients.

skilllane run systematic-debugging --task "Debug a TypeError in UserProfile"

Limitations

This is v0.1.0 — be aware of these current limitations:

  • Local only. No remote registry or sharing. You cannot skilllane install from a central marketplace yet.
  • Prompt generation, not execution. The runner generates structured prompts for agents — it does not execute code or call LLMs directly.
  • No skill versioning. Skills are identified by name only. Updating requires --force.
  • No skill dependencies. Skills cannot depend on or compose with other skills.

A remote registry and skill publishing are planned for v0.2.
