Installing & verifying

Installing Glean Reference Architecture writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/glean-reference-architecture/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — glean-reference-architecture should appear by name.

What Glean Reference Architecture needs to run

External services: The SKILL.md references pricing, quota, or rate limits — it likely calls a paid or rate-limited API. Check the source before wiring it into unattended automation.
Worked code: 5 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth: ~631 words, typical mid-range depth.
