Install the Yao Board skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/YaoApp/yao --skill yao-board
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/YaoApp/yao.git /tmp/yao mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/yao/tools/skills/yao-board ~/.claude/skills/yao-board
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 43 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 220 tok |
| Only if opened | No bundled files | — |
Until it is used, yao-board costs about 32× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 15 skills from YaoApp/yao would load 642 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
