Capture and review Agent Skill observations, and create, run, diagnose, or iteratively improve Skill evaluations (evals) with the skill-up CLI. Use when the user asks to record explicitly attributed Skill usage or feedback; review observations or user-supplied traces/transcripts; turn an approved observation into a regression case; evaluate, test, regress, verify, fix, improve, iterate, or evolve a Skill; add or strengthen eval cases; write eval.yaml/case.yaml; run skill-up…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# use-skill-up-cli

Help the user evaluate and evolve Agent Skills through the `skill-up` CLI.

Manual: <https://alibaba.github.io/skill-up/>

## Language Policy

**Default to English when responding to the user. If the user writes in Chinese (or any other language), switch to that language and stay consistent with the user's input throughout the session.**

Detection rules (highest priority first):

1. The user explicitly specifies a language in the current message (e.g. "answer in English" or "reply in Chinese") → follow the user's instruction.
2. The natural language used in the user's current message → match it.
3. None of the above → use English (default).

Regardless of the response language, technical identifiers in this SKILL — CLI commands, `eval.yaml` / `case.yaml` field names, report field names, etc. — MUST stay in their original English form. Do not translate them.

### Language Rules for Generated Artifacts

Use the user's current language for replies, newly authored explanatory prose,
and YAML comments. Preserve the language and semantics of test inputs, expected
output literals, identifiers, commands, paths, and existing regression cases.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alibaba/skill-up/skill-upper@sha256:ae213b328b15a058

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.81e3d92, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
