SkeletIQ runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 432 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.
Hand a released SkeletIQ architecture to a coding agent: brief, build order, drift check.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check SkeletIQ every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
SKELETIQ_API_KEY (A SkeletIQ personal API token (starts skq_), created under Settings -> Agent access. Needs the read scope at minimum; add generate to create designs and report to check drift.), SKELETIQ_API_URL (Base URL of the SkeletIQ API. Only needed for self-hosted installs; defaults to the hosted service.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
