Installation

npx (no install)

The fastest way to use Skrypt — runs the latest version directly:

npx skrypt-ai generate ./src -o ./docs

This downloads and executes the latest version without installing anything globally.

npm (global)

Install globally to use the skrypt command anywhere:

npm install -g skrypt-ai

Then run commands directly:

skrypt generate ./src -o ./docs
skrypt qa ./docs
skrypt test ./docs

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew tap debgotwired/skrypt
brew install skrypt

Verify installation

skrypt --version

Authentication

Skrypt proxies all LLM calls through its backend. No provider API keys needed.

Log in to connect your account:

skrypt login

This opens your browser to authenticate and stores your Skrypt API key locally. You can also set the key directly:

export SKRYPT_API_KEY=sk_live_your-key

System requirements

• Node.js 18.0 or later
• npm 9.0 or later (comes with Node.js)
• Docker (optional) — for running code verification in isolated environments
• Playwright (optional) — installed automatically when using skrypt heal --screenshots
