Install via npx (recommended)
npx skills add sk-code-01/simplehost-skill
Add -g to install globally (available in all projects). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any agent supporting the Agent Skills standard. Run the same command again any time to refresh to the latest version of the skill.
Install via script
Download it first so you can inspect it, then run it:
curl -fsSL https://simplehost.dev/install.sh -o /tmp/simplehost-install.sh
bash /tmp/simplehost-install.sh
No npm needed. Re-run any time to refresh.
Manual Install
If neither method works, you can install manually:
Claude Code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/simplehost
curl -fsSL https://simplehost.dev/SKILL.md \
-o ~/.claude/skills/simplehost/SKILL.md
Cursor
mkdir -p .cursor/skills/simplehost
curl -fsSL https://simplehost.dev/SKILL.md \
-o .cursor/skills/simplehost/SKILL.md
Manual installs can also be refreshed later by downloading https://simplehost.dev/SKILL.md again to the same location.
Verify Installation
Start a new Claude Code session and type:
If the skill is installed, Claude will activate it and ask what you want to publish.
When a newer version is published, the publish script surfaces a one-line “update available” notice with the command to run — it never fetches or updates anything on its own.
Set Your API Key
For permanent publishing, set your API key as an environment variable:
export SIMPLEHOST_API_KEY="sh_live_your_key_here"
Add it to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) to persist across sessions:
echo 'export SIMPLEHOST_API_KEY="sh_live_your_key_here"' >> ~/.zshrc
Don’t have an API key? The skill will guide you through the authentication flow on first use. Just say “publish this” and follow the prompts.
Requirements
The skill uses publish.sh which requires:
curl — Pre-installed on macOS and most Linux
jq — Pre-installed on macOS. Install on Linux: sudo apt install jq
