`raea skill` prints the raea skill, the instructions agents read to work with raea, exactly as this version ships it.
`--reference` prints one of its generated references instead: the CLI, the feed, the project's files or the SDK.
To put the skill where an agent reads skills, use [`raea skills install`](skills.md).
The skill raea ships matches the version it ships with. An agent can hold a copy from an older or newer install;
its front matter names the version it came with, and when that differs from `raea --version` the agent reads
`raea skill` instead.
```sh
raea skill
raea skill --reference sdk
```
<!-- generated:begin by tools/manual-ref/cli.ts from `raea help --json`; edit only the flag descriptions -->
## Usage
```sh
raea skill [NAME] [--reference cli|feed|files|sdk] | raea skills install --agent claude|codex|kimi|gemini [--pin MOVE]... [--no-mcp] [--no-hooks] (the agent skill this raea ships, for its version, which raea --version prints: an agent whose copy names another version reads this; install puts raea's skills where that agent reads skills, adds the blender MCP server unless --no-mcp, makes each --pin MOVE a /MOVE of its own, and adds raea's hooks to that agent unless --no-hooks (raea hook AGENT: media opened in the Mac's viewer goes to raea show, and the quick check after a composition is saved); a skill folder that's a link is left as it is)
```
Headless: it needs nothing running and opens no window. Takes up to 1 argument besides its flags.
