Authentication Strategies

GitHub Authentication

To avoid rate limits when installing skills from GitHub, you should configure a GitHub Personal Access Token.

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...

Or configure it persistently with the CLI:

killer-skills config githubToken ghp_...

MCP Authentication

When running as an MCP Server, Killer-Skills inherits the authentication context of the host agent (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor). No additional authentication is typically required for local operations.
