# skillpack

Generate and verify the agent-distribution layer for any OSS project

## When to use

Invoke this skill when the user's task matches any of these triggers:

- generate a claude code skill pack
- verify agent-discoverability of a CLI or library
- scaffold claude plugin distribution files


## When NOT to use

- Do not use this skill if the user only wants to *read* or *inspect* skillpack without performing an action — prefer reading docs directly.
- Do not use this skill for tasks outside the Rust tooling it was built for.

## Installation

## Footguns / gotchas

- Verify the tool is installed before relying on it; do not assume availability.
- Prefer the documented `skillpack` flags; undocumented flags may change without notice.
- This file is authoritative for agent invocation; if it drifts from the CLI's real `--help`, run `skillpack verify` to catch it.
