Skillpack

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

Ensure skillpack is installed and available on PATH before invoking the examples below.

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.
