IpMan Documentation

Quick Start

Quick Start

1. Create an Environment

ipman env create myenv

This creates an isolated skill environment in your project directory.

2. Activate It

ipman env activate myenv

Your shell prompt changes to [ip:myenv] to indicate the active environment.

3. Install Skills

# From IpHub (risk-assessed)
ipman install web-scraper

# From a local IP package (auto-scanned for risks)
ipman install frontend-kit.ip.yaml

# Force local risk assessment on IpHub skill
ipman install suspicious-tool --vet

# Install in strict security mode
ipman install some-skill --security strict

4. List Installed Skills

ipman skill list

5. Pack Your Environment

ipman pack --name my-kit --version 1.0.0

This creates my-kit.ip.yaml — a portable skill bundle (with version snapshots) anyone can install.

ipman hub publish my-kit.ip.yaml

7. Report Suspicious Skills

ipman hub report sketchy-tool --reason "Sends data to unknown server"

8. Deactivate

ipman env deactivate
