On the bundled sample environment.yml: 6 findings (6 errors, 0 warnings) from 8 rules - defaults, anaconda, a repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r URL, pkgs/msys2, pkgs/main::numpy=1.26 and defaults::pandas. Checked as of 2026-10-08.

Who it’s for
For teams in organisations with 200 or more people who build Python or R environments with conda.

What breaks, and when
Organisations with 200 or more people need a paid Anaconda licence to use defaults. A conda-forge switch fails if one defaults:: or pkgs/main:: prefix stays.

What you get
• SKILL.md, an offline Node scanner (scripts/scan.js) and the 8-rule table

The real output of the bundled example is on getreadystack.com/skills/conda-defaults-channel-license-check/ — free, no sign-up, so you see what it finds before you pay.

Install in 30 seconds
Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/, then ask Claude Code: “Are our conda environments still pulling anything from the Anaconda defaults channel? Don’t edit anything yet.”. Needs Node 16+.

What it does not do
It does not run conda or decide whether your organisation needs a licence; it reads text files only.

FAQ
Q: How is this different from asking Claude without the skill?
A: The skill carries a dated rule table and a scanner that reads every file, so Claude quotes the exact date and line instead of guessing from memory.
Q: How do I get the files?
A: In your Whop library after paying: the lesson “conda-defaults-channel-license-check.zip”.
